Russian nuclear power reactors

In Russia today there are 10 nuclear power plants with a total of 31 operating reactors. In 2004 these reactors produced some 21.740 MWe. Seven of the reactors have recently been granted a prolonged enginnered life span of 15 years. This means that intended engineered life spans on aged reactors can increase from their 30 year intended term of service to 45 years.

Still, despite regular media reports that it is just a matter of a few years before an FNPP starts operating in this or that region, Rosatom’s order book remains nothing but a lone page with one customer – the city of Severodvinsk.

It just so happened the other night that I had a dream – and I remembered it.
