The Novovoronezh NPP generated 826.2 million KWh of electricity in September 2015. The capacity factor (load factor) has been 62.57% since the beginning of the month.

Since the beginning of 2015 it has been produced 9.3408 billion KWh of electricity (97.69%). Load factor for the year amounted to 77.73% with the plan of 79.57%.

The power unit ?4 of the NV NPP is in the preventative planned repair (PPR) and being refueled. The power units ?? 3, 5 operate in a given mode.

Average values of radiation background correspond to level of natural background values in the Central European Part of Russia in settlements of a 30-km zone round the Novovoronezhskaya nuclear power plant.

Updated information about radiation situation near the nuclear power plants in Russia and other objects of the nuclear industry is provided on a site www.russianatom.ru.

The Novovoronezhskaya nuclear power plant is a branch of the JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom". The station is located on the bank of the Don River in 42 km to the south of Voronezh. It is the Russia's first nuclear power plant with VVER reactors (water-to-water power reactors of case type with regular water under pressure). Each of five reactors of the station can be a main one – a prototype of serial power reactors: the power unit No. 1 with the VVER-210 reactor, the power unit No. 2 with the VVER-365 reactor, the No. 3, 4 power units with the VVER-440 reactors, the power unit No. 5 with the VVER-1000 reactor. The first power unit was launched in 1964, the second – in 1969, third – in 1971, fourth – 1972, fifth – 1979.

There are three power units (power units No.1, 2 were stopped in 1984 and 1990 respectively) in work at the moment.

Since June 2007 the JSC "Concern" has done the construction of two power units of the new generation at the Novovoronezh NPP beyond the project "NPP-2006" as the owner-developer. Construction have been financed by the asset contribution and equity of the "Rosenergoatom". The new NV NPP blocks will be operated by the reactor units VVER-1200.

Project VVER-1200 complies with all local and international safety requirements. Its main feature is the improvement of the security system, which provides a significant advantage of the project on the level of safety performance
