Rostov NPP: the May plan was overfullfilled by more than 94%

The utilization factor of maximum capacity (UFMC) in May was equal to 85.31% while it was planned to implement only 43.95%.
The annual plan is implemented by 108.3%.
Such high production rates have been achieved due to the measures on modernization of reactor and turbine compartment equipment which were taken during the preventive maintenance of power unit No.1. The increase of the overhaul period and reduction of the preventive maintenance period also contributed to these results. The preventive maintenance which took place in Volgodonsk NPP from April 3 rd till May 5th was shortened by 12.5 days.
RostovNPP is a branch of Rosenergoatom Concern OJSC. The nuclear power plant is located on the bank of the Tsimlyansk Reservoir 13.5 km far from Volgodonsk city. Power Unit No.1 which was put into commercial operation in 2001 has the operated VVER-1000-type (ВВЭР-1000) pressurized water reactor with installed capacity of 1000 MW. The physical start-up of Power Unit No 2 with the reactor of the same type was carried out in December, 2009. Power Unit No 2 undergoes the stage of experimental-industrial pilot production. Power Units Nos. 3 and 4 are being constructed.
