Beloyar NPP: plan for February is fulfilled for 104%

Марта 05, 2010

In February of 2010 power unit of Beloyar NPP BN-600 functioned at nominal level of output and generated 401.64 mln. kWh of electric power. The monthly plan for generation is fulfilled for 104.3%. Installed capacity utilization factor in February made 99.61%.

In total since beginning of 2010, power unit BN-600 Beloyar NPP generated 831.7 mln. kWh of electric power, that makes 102.8 % of the planned task.
Radiation background in the area of location of Beloyar NPP and adjacent territories conforms to the level of normal operation mode and conformed to level of natural background values.
Beloyar NPP is the first NPP in large nuclear energy sector of the country, and the only one with various types reactors on one site. At Beloyar NPP the only power unit in the world with fast neutron reactor BN-600 of industrial capacity level is operated. Power unit with fast neutron reactor BN-800 is under construction. Fast neutron power units are purposed to increase considerably fuel basis of nuclear energy sector and minimize radioactive waste due to arrangement of closed nuclear and fuel cycle. First power units of Beloyar NPP with reactors on thermal neutrons AMB-100 and AMB-200 exhausted their resource.
