List of nuclear facilities in Russia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of nuclear facilities in Russia includes all commercial power reactors , nuclear power plants , research reactors and other nuclear facilities and enrichment facilities that are currently in operation or under construction, that are currently shut down or have already been decommissioned, or whose planning / construction has finally been abandoned.

The Soviet Union was the first country in the world to put a commercial nuclear power plant into operation in 1954.

All Russian nuclear power plants are owned by the state-owned company Rosatom and operated by the state-owned company Rosenergoatom . The nuclear power plants cover about 18% of the country's electricity needs. In the Russian nuclear power plants, reactors of the type RBMK or VVER are mainly used.

The world's smallest reactors are currently in operation in the Bilibino nuclear power plant , and they also provide district heating . The largest Russian nuclear power plant is the Balakovo nuclear power plant .

In order to be able to quickly produce plutonium for nuclear weapons , four nuclear facilities with plutonium reactors were built during the Cold War . When electricity generation from nuclear energy became possible, a reactor that can both produce electricity and produce plutonium was developed. The result was the RBMK series, which still maintains a large part of the country's power supply today. Over time, the reactors were upgraded with MKER technology. The MKER is thus the successor to the RBMK.

Since April 2007 Russia has been using a new way of generating electricity from nuclear energy. The Akademik Lomonossow nuclear power plant will be the world's first floating nuclear power plant . Another is planned. The power plants are to be used in poorly accessible regions where there are problems with the power supply.

Russia has a very balanced fuel cycle . For some time, experiments have been carried out with new types of fuel assemblies for VVER. The plan is to reprocess the spent fuel elements from the RBMK and to use them as fuel elements for VVER. These are up to 2.5% more efficient than conventional VVER fuel elements. The fuel is currently in experimental use in the reactors of the Kalinin nuclear power plant. The spent fuel elements can in turn be processed into MOX fuel elements, which have been used in the Belojarsk nuclear power plant since the beginning of 2008.

Nuclear power plants

The nuclear power plant grouping includes all power reactors and prototype systems that are used for commercial power generation. A total of 34 nuclear reactors with a total gross capacity of 26,242 MW are in operation in Russia. Seven reactors with a gross output of 7,898 MW are currently being built. Twelve reactors with a gross capacity of 919 MW have already been shut down. Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant was the first nuclear power plant in the country and worldwide. The oldest one still in operation is the Novovoronesch nuclear power plant.

At least the Akademik Lomonossow nuclear power plant, floating in Pewek, is missing in the graphic as of December 19, 2019.

Nuclear power plants and nuclear heating plants without starting operations

The grouping of nuclear power plants and nuclear heating plants without operational start-up includes all power reactors and prototype systems that were to be used for commercial electricity or heat generation but have not yet been completed or whose planning and construction have finally been discontinued, as well as all power reactors that are not yet under construction , but are firmly planned. Power plants marked in green are in the planning stage, construction has been stopped for power plants marked in yellow and construction and planning have finally been discontinued for power plants marked blue.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union , most of the projects were canceled or construction was suspended. Many plants are being discussed again today in the course of the Russian nuclear program project 2007-2015 .

Research reactors

The research reactor grouping includes nuclear reactors that are not used to generate electricity, but are primarily used for research purposes (nuclear and material research, isotope production for medicine and technology ). Russia has the largest number of operating research reactors in the world.

Explanations

  • An RBMK-1000 or RBMK-1500 is a version of a water-cooled graphite-moderated pressure tube reactor type, see RBMK .
  • A WWER-210 , WWER-365 , WWER-440 / x , WWER-1000 / x , WWER-1160 / x or WWER-1200 / x is a version of a water-cooled water-moderated light water reactor type, see WWER .

history

Above all, a series of espionage cases at the beginning of the reactor program of the former Soviet Union indicate that the Soviet Union was orienting itself towards the US development. The first rudimentary nuclear reactor by Enrico Fermi used graphite as a moderator for nuclear fission. While this principle had no long history in the USA with the exception of the small reactors for the production of weapons plutonium, it was systematically developed further by the Soviets; Obninsk became the world's first actual nuclear power plant in 1954, Belojarsk 1 became the first related power reactor in 1964, and the history of this RBMK reactor line came to an abrupt end with the Chernobyl disaster . With the VK-50 in Melekess, the boiling water reactor concept of the USA was adopted for a short time in the 1960s , but this came to an abrupt end with a serious accident after two years. Finally, the pressurized water reactor concept was also copied with the VVER . The Americans designed it in the 1950s, it was first used by the Soviets from 1959 in the nuclear icebreaker "Lenin", for more extensive electricity production from 1964 in the Novovoronesch 1 nuclear power plant. The breeder technology was also invented by the USA in the 1950s, First introduced by the Soviets with the research reactor BOR-60, significantly enlarged with the BN-350 Aktau in Kazakhstan and with the BN-600 Belojarsk 3 it is still operated there by the Russians today.
