A delegation of representatives of the Turkish Nuclear Regulatory Agency visited the Novovoronezh NPP
A delegation of representatives of the Nuclear Regulatory Agency of the Republic of Turkey (NRA) visited the Novovoronezh NPP. The purpose of the visit was to monitor the training of Akkuyu NPP specialists.
Currently, Turkish specialists are undergoing on-the-job training under training programs for the positions of leading turbine control specialist, reactor shop shift supervisor and turbine shop shift supervisor.
NRA specialists, together with representatives of Rosenergoatom and Rusatom Service JSC, visited classrooms and a full-scale simulator (FSS) of the training point (TP), as well as the block control center (BCC) of power unit No. 7 of the Novovoronezh NPP, where they talked with Turkish students.
The Novovoronezh NPP is a reference station for the Akkuyu NPP, and internship at the Novoronezh NPP is an important part of the first stage of personnel training; the second stage will take place directly at the Akkuyu NPP site.
“In November of this year, a full-scale simulator was put into operation at the Akkuyu NPP site, on which two shifts of control room personnel are currently being trained. From January to July 2024, 5 more shifts will be trained. Thus, by the second half of 2024, for work at the first and second power units of the Akkuyu NPP, the training of licensed BPU personnel will be fully completed, consisting of six main shifts and one reserve. After receiving the NRA license, the personnel will be fully prepared for the physical start-up of the reactor,” said representatives of Rusatom Service JSC. As part of the contract, Rosatom State Corporation trained 318 Turkish specialists at the reference unit of the Novovoronezh NPP. In 2024, another 154 Turkish specialists will undergo diverse training.

The Russian State Corporation Rosatom is the world leader among vendors in terms of the number of nuclear power plants being built. Rosatom's order portfolio consists of 33 projects in 10 countries. The State Corporation offers its partners comprehensive reference solutions that allow them to implement a wide range of projects in the field of nuclear energy. Rosatom participates in the creation of nuclear infrastructure, trains qualified personnel, builds supply chains, provides fuel supplies, as well as expert support during the operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants. Russia continues to conduct a constructive dialogue with its foreign colleagues, developing cooperation with countries from all corners of the world and actively forming a multipolar system of international relations. The implementation of large foreign energy projects continues. Rosatom and its enterprises take an active part in this work.
The Novovoronezh NPP (Novovoronezh, Voronezh region) is the first nuclear power plant in Russia with PWR type reactors (pressurized water-cooled power reactors with ordinary water under pressure), provides reliable and high-quality energy supply to the Voronezh region. The nuclear power plant is located on the banks of the Don, 45 km south of Voronezh. In total, seven power units with PWR-type reactors were built and put into operation at the site, four of which are now operational. Three power units are the main prototypes of serial power units with pressurized water reactors (power unit No. 3 - PWR-440; power unit No. 5 - PWR-1000; power unit No. 6 - PWR-1200). Power units one through five were launched in 1964, 1969, 1971, 1972 and 1980, respectively. Power units No. 1 and No. 2 were shut down in 1984 and 1990, respectively, and Unit No. 3 in 2016. Power unit No. 4, after modernization in December 2018, received permission to extend its service life. Since 2007, the NPP has been constructing two new generation 3+ power units - No. 6 and No. 7 (according to the AES-2006 project). Power unit No. 6 was commissioned in February 2017; it became the world's first new generation nuclear power unit to be put into commercial operation. Power unit No. 7 was put into operation in October 2019. Innovative generation 3+ power units have improved technical and economic indicators that ensure absolute safety during operation.
