Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant II (NvNPPII; Russian: Нововоронежская АЭС II [
History
In 2006, the Russian government legislated a nuclear expansion plan for 2007–2015. The plan aimed to put two new nuclear reactors into operation each year from 2012. This decision provided impetus for the construction of NNPPII, which had been originally been mooted in 1999.[1] On 20 June 2007 preparations began at the construction site.[2] Construction starting ceremony was held on 12 July 2009.[3]
In January 2017 the plant took delivery of a safety instrumentation and control system from Areva NP for installation in its Unit 1.[4]
Description
The power station will comprise two to four VVER-1200/392M reactors of the AES-2006 type. These reactors are the first of their kind. Unit 1 was planned to be added to the grid in 2012, with the second unit to be added a year later.[3] Cost of the project is between 110 and 130 billion Rubles.[5] The city of Novovoronezh is to provide housing for incoming NvNPP II construction workers. In early 2008 the first two apartment blocks were complete and ready to use.[6][7]
Construction of the nuclear power plant is important because the existing Novovoronezh nuclear power plant is a focal point of the energy supply system. The power plant complex provides energy not only to Voronezh Oblast but to Belgorod, Lipetsk and Tambov territories as well.[2]
Reactors
The Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant II will have four units:
