Russian nuclear power reactors

Part of: Nuclear Russia

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.

MOSCOW – As the lofty, but helplessly overblown idea of a “nuclear renaissance” continues to deflate right before our eyes both in Russia and elsewhere in the world, one particular aspect is becoming more and more intriguing: Where will the Russian atomic industry next direct its undying energy? And what sorts of risks will the world and the ecological community be left to deal with?
