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.
It is planned to build a nuclear power plant in Nizhny Novgorod in 2016.
The European Commission accepted the construction project for the nuclear power plant Belene suggested by the Russian Company Atomstroyeksport.
On October 26th a site selection process has been agreed at the meeting between the Republic of Sakha and Russia's Federal Atomic Energy Agency (Rosatom) for another floating nuclear power plant in Russia.
It just so happened the other night that I had a dream – and I remembered it. It’s an extraordinary event, basically, because for the most part, either I don’t dream at all or I don’t remember what I’ve just dreamt about. Shortly after that, another event occurred, and a truly extraordinary one this time: A bunch of complete strangers chose our city – the city I was born in and where I live, and where my mother and my children live – they chose our city for nothing else than building a new nuclear power plant.
