The Rostov nuclear power plant ( Russian Ростовская АЭС [ listen ^?^/^I ]), meanwhile the Volgodonsk nuclear power plant ( Russian Волгодонская АЭС [ listen ^?^/^I ]) is located about twelve kilometers from the city of Volgodonsk on the Zimlyansk reservoir . It is located about 120 kilometers east of Rostov-on-Don in Rostov Oblast .

The nuclear power plant currently has four operational reactors with a net output of 3861 megawatts (MW).

history

Construction of the first nuclear reactor began on September 1, 1981. The second reactor block followed on May 1, 1983. In 1990, the population was able to enforce a construction freeze on reactor blocks 1 and 2, which were 95% and 47% completed at that time. The blocks were initially preserved. In February 2000, after a five-year review process, construction work to complete the two blocks was resumed. The first reactor block was put into operation on March 30, 2001. The second block was synchronized with the power grid for the first time on March 18, 2010.

Two more VVER-1000 reactors were built at this location . They were originally scheduled to go into operation in 2016 and 2018. In July 2008, the hearings on the construction of the two blocks three and four began. The data collected, such as environmental impacts and any radioactive accidents that could affect the environment, were made known to the public. Instead of cooling the water in treatment basins, cooling towers should now be used. Construction of the two blocks began on September 15, 2009 and June 16, 2010. Block 3 went into operation in 2015, Block 4 in 2018.

Alleged disruption in 2008

On June 15, 2008, another hoax was made in the news just days after the alleged GAU at the Leningrad nuclear power plant . Allegedly, American satellites measured an increased level of radioactivity near the Rostov nuclear power plant. The value should have been more than 60 micro-X-rays per hour. It is not known who published the report. Rosenergoatom pointed out that all nuclear power plants are in normal operation and do not give off increased doses of radiation into the environment.

Others

Rostov's partner power plant is the Czech Temelín nuclear power plant . Specialists from both power plants work in regular meetings on joint technical problems, such as the reduction of vibrations in pipelines and the efficiency of purging the steam generator .

Data of the reactor blocks

The Rostov nuclear power plant has two units in operation and two units under construction :
