OREANDA-NEWS. The power unit №3 with the reactor BN-600 of the Beloyarsk NPP generated more than 443 million Kilowatt hours of electricity in June 2015.

The capacity factor of thte power unit during the month was 102.6 percent.

There were no deviations from normal operation of the power unit. The radiation situation in the area of the nuclear power plant matches the natural background values.

Preparatory works for the energy start-up phase are continued at power unit №4 (BN-800).

The Beloyarsk nuclear power plant started to work in April, 1964. It was the first nuclear power plant in big nuclear power system of the country and the only one in the world with reactors of different types on one platform. The first power units of the Beloyarsk nuclear power plant with reactors on thermal neutrons of AMB-100 and AMB-200 were stopped in connection with resource development. There is a unique power unit in operation with the reactor on fast neutrons of an industrial power level BN-600. There is a power unit with the reactor on fast neutrons BN-800 in the stage of construction. Power units on fast neutrons are urged to expand significantly fuel base of nuclear power and to minimize radioactive waste at the expense of the organization of the closed nuclear and fuel cycle.
