The WANO (World Association of Nuclear Operators) is the association of organizations operating nuclear power units. Peer Reviews have become one of the main WANO routines, alongside with operational information exchange, professional development, and technical support missions. The main thing in the activity of the WANO is to promote an effective and open exchange of information among nuclear organizations. NPP operators have access to the treasury of the world's operating experience, where one can draw both general ideas and specific useful examples.

The Beloyarsk NPP has come into operation in April 1964. The first power blocks of the Beloyarsk NPP with thermal reactors AMB-100 and AMB-200 has been closed after the accumulated running time. The power block with a fast industrial capacity reactor BN-600 is still on. The power block with a fact reactor BN-800Н is currently being prepared for coming into operation.
