On the New Voronezh nuclear power plant will be carried out planned all-station antiemergency fire-proof training on September 25, 2014.

The training purpose is working off practical skills of operation personnel interaction of the Novovoronezhskaya nuclear power plant changes, administration of the entity and divisions of fire brigades in the conditions of a difficult emergency at station.

In training take part: operation personnel of change of 1,2,3 queues and the main electric circuit of electroshop of the Neovovoronezhskaya nuclear power plant with attraction of fire brigades of FPS Ministry of Emergency Situations Russian Federation and operational engineering support group of the changes personnel.

The administration of the Novovoronezhskaya nuclear power plant addresses to residents of the Novovoronezh and Voronezh region with a request to stay calm and be understandable.

Carrying out the training is an integral part of any nuclear station ensuring safe operation. Their purpose is working off actions on protection of the nuclear station personnel and the population.

Power units of the Novovoronezhskaya nuclear power plant during training will work in a regular mode. No interventions in their work, connected with training, are provided and won't be carried out.

There are power units No. 3 and No. 5 of the nuclear power plant in work at the moment. The power unit No. 4 is in scheduled preventive maintenance.

The Novovoronezhskaya nuclear power plant is a branch of JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom". The station is located on the bank of the Don River in 42 km to the south of Voronezh. It is the Russia's first nuclear power plant with VVER reactors (water-to-water power reactors of case type with regular water under pressure). Each of five reactors of station is head – a prototype of serial power reactors: the power unit No. 1 with the VVER-210 reactor, the power unit No. 2 with the VVER-365 reactor, No. No. 3, 4 power units with VVER-440 reactors, the power unit No. 5 with the VVER-1000 reactor. The first power unit was launched in 1964, the second – in the 1969, third – in the 1971, fourth – the 1972, fifth – 1979. There are three power units (power units (No No 1, 2 we're stopped in 1984 and 1990 years respectively) on work at the moment.

The radiation background on the nuclear power plant and around its arrangement is at the level corresponding to normal operation of power units, and doesn't exceed natural background values.

Current information about a radiation situation near the nuclear power plant in Russia and other objects of the nuclear industry is provided on a site www.russianatom.ru.
