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.
