1954: Ambitious idea

came true – the 1st NPP in

the world launched Built in a small town of Obninsk

near Moscow, the world's first

nuclear power plant has successfully

worked for 48 years.

Main Data:

Reactor type: AM-1 (graphite

moderated and water cooled)

Electric capacity: 5 MW

Thermal capacity: 30 MW

Commissioned: 1954

Decommissioned: 2002

VVER – among the most

successful embodiments of

an idea to create a safe &

effective nuclear power

reactor

VVER is a pressurized water reactor,

which proved its high reliability over

more than 1300 reactor-years of VVER

plants operation.

First VVER reactor of 210 MW capacity

was commissioned in 1964 at

Novovoronezh NPP. This year it is

planned to commission a 1200 MW

VVER reactor at Novovoronezh site.

h

Russian design VVER reactors

keep providing electricity

throughout the world: above

the Arctic Circle and at the

southern tip of India.

70 power units with VVER

reactors have been

constructed since the 1960s.

At present, 57 VVER reactors

are in operation at 19 NPPs in

11 countries.

Modern VVER-1200 –

evolutionary idea of the

revolutionary safety

VVER-1200 (AES-2006) is based on the

most recent achievements of the Russian

nuclear industry. Its unique safety

concept is a balanced combination of

both active and passive safety systems.

VVER-1200 (AES-2006) design is:

under construction in Russia at

Leningrad II NPP, Novovoronezh

NPP II, Baltic NPP and at

Belorussian NPP;

to be implemented at Hanhikivi-1

NPP in Finland, Paks NPP Units 5-6

in Hungary, Akkuyu NPP in Turkey.

VVER-TOI – integrating ideas

for the next generation of

nuclear power plants

The idea of the VVER-TOI project is to

create a standardized VVER power

plant, optimised in terms of technology

and economics.

Main features:

Service life: 60 years

Electric capacity: 1200 MW

Power unit gross efficiency: 37,9

Availability factor: 93 %

DBE/SSE points : 7/9

Aircraft crash resistance : up to 400 t

Auxiliary power consumption: 6,47 %

Construction period: 40-48 months

Fast neutron reactors – the

materialized idea of nuclear

energy sustainability.

Fast-neutron reactors are able to use

natural uranium, they can produce 60

times more energy than conventional

reactors. The 1st commercial fast

neutron reactor was BN-350

commissioned in 1973, and the only

fast neutron reactor remaining now in

operation is BN-600 at Beloyarsk NPP.

The new BN-800 at Beloyarsk-4:

reached first criticality in 2014;

will produce 864 MWe of electricity;

will be the major ground for the

testing of nuclear fuel cycle closure.

Ongoing projects:

• further extension of operation of Kola NPP (units 1 and 2),

• further lifetime extension by 15 years of the 4th unit of

Novovoronezh NPP

… ready to be successfully implemented abroad

Life extension of Kozloduy NPP units 5-6:

• Kozloduy NPP made the decision on carrying

out complex inspection of an actual state and

assessment of a residual operation life and

constructions of power units.

• In April 2012 after the international tender the

contract between the Kozloduy NPP and

Consortium of Rosatom group companies &

Electricité de France was signed.

• Consortium has already completed all the

works

Unit 5 – completed

Unit 6 – waiting for approval by Bulgarian

supervisory authority

• In October 2014, the Feasibility Evaluation

Contract for Kozloduy NPP Unit 5 Life

Extension up to 60 years was signed.

Nuclear icebreakers and the

Northern Sea Route – a way

to the boost of world trade &

economic development

Only from Yamal peninsula it is planned

to annually export 17.6 mln t of LNG.

Icebreaking and navigation services will

be essential for the operation of 16

LNG-carriers.

For such purposes new generation of

icebreakers is planned. Construction of

the new LK-60 icebreaker is already

underway. With the displacement:

33.540 tones its will the world’s largest

nuclear-powered icebreaker, which may

be used both in the open sea and on

rivers.

Nuclear icebreakers – a

horizon-breaking idea “Lenin”, the world's first nuclear-

powered surface ship and the first was

commissioned in 1959 and gave the

green light for nuclear-powered civilian

shipbuilding.

14

Nuclear medicine – a life-

saving idea

In medicine atom is also taking on the

most complex challenges. It is used for

diagnosis and therapy of the severest

illnesses, including cancer.

Rosatom is a significant player on

world isotope market: 360º product

portfolio incl. medical, industrial and

stable isotopes.

One of Rosatom key project is

construction of Russia’s federal

nuclear medicine centers, which will

become a platform for

comprehensive efforts in research,

professional training and the

development of nuclear treatment

technologies.

15

Dream of the deep space –

will the atom ever make it

true?

In Russia the first research works related

to the use of nuclear energy in the

space exploration were started in

1950’s.

First Russian testing of a nuclear reactor

in the space took place in 1970.

Another milestone was the launch of

thermionic reactor in the space within

TOPAZ project in 1987.

Today ROSATOM is working on the

creation of 1 MW nuclear propulsion

engine for a spaceship.
