At Novovoronezh NPP, the second innovative power unit is launched at 90 percent of power

While Western studios are in a rush to present the Soviet and Russian nuclear power industry as a kind of “monster threatening the planet”, produce art tapes with a high one-sided and engagement ratio, the nuclear power industry continues to evolve and improve.

Today, the 90 power unit of the Novovoronezh NPP (it is the 7 power innovation unit NNPP No. XXUMX) has been launched at 2% of power. The main component of the 2 generation facility is the VVER-3 reactor, which is distinguished by a high degree of reliability and protection.

It is reported that with the release of the 7-th power unit of the Novovoronezh NPP, a new phase of the DL started during the pilot operation at 90% of capacity. We are actually talking about the final stage, after the completion of which the 2-th innovation EB NNPP-2 will reach 100-percent power. The unit will be preliminarily tested at nominal parameters over the 15-day period. These tests will end the series of numerous and multi-level inspections of power installations.

Testing of the electronic number 2 of the Novovoronezh NPP-2 after today's output to 90-percent power will be performed on 6 days. During this time, steam generators will be checked, thermal-hydraulic character tests, etc. will be carried out.

The newest power unit is expected to be fully operational at the end of 2019.

The new power unit is new jobs, additional kW-hours of electricity for both industry and domestic consumption, as well as additional confirmation of the leadership of Russian nuclear energy in the world.

Nuclear energy is a global future. It is important for us to stay in the first place, and even with a margin. And to develop all this primarily in their own country.

[Honest Citizen]

It would not hurt us to develop an "aggressive marketing strategy" what exactly WE would build nuclear power plants around the world, and not the United States. What exactly WE would be the trendsetters. Whatever in any state, when the question "to build and who is the contractor" arises, there was not even a shadow of doubt that it was Russia and not someone else. Because our nuclear power plants are safer, but we talk a little about it. Well, our TVELs are much more reliable.

And what has "everything bad" to do with it? Marketing policy is not only about selling the final product. This is, in fact, a whole range of activities designed to popularize the final product. This is how "from the wheels", as they say, I can immediately point out some areas: environmental safety, operational safety, cheap electricity.
I think that in Rosatom smart people, much smarter than me, they will come up with other moves - if they are assigned a task.

[Monar]

Spread flyers in mailboxes?
Nuclear power is the level of decision of governments and their experts. Those Germans close their nuclear plants knowing all your arguments.

[Honest Citizen]

Alex.
Thickly troll. Flyers, boxes ...
In Germany, nuclear power plants are being shut down also because they "have competently treated the population." This is also "marketing", only from the other side.
Well, as soon as "nuclear batteries" appear for flashlights, players and telephones, then it will not be a shame to throw advertisements into the boxes.

[Monar]

Something I do not remember the many thousands of rallies in Germany for the closure of nuclear power plants. It bumbled at Fukushima and Merkel rushed to close. A purely political decision.
But France does not close. There 70% of electricity is generated at nuclear power plants. About 100 years will have to rebuild energy.

what exactly WE would build in the world of nuclear power plants, and not the USA.

After the accident at Three Mile Island, the Americans killed the entire industry, as a result of which an attempt to build new AP-1000 reactors led to a real horse race, during which Westinghouse suddenly found out that he no longer had suppliers of equipment for the nuclear power plant and went bankrupt, an attempt to resume the production of the main components of nuclear power plants in the United States, it failed completely, as domestic suppliers could not provide the required quality, and had to order their production from competitors from South Korea. The main reason is the leak of competencies in heavy engineering to Asia and the complete loss of heavy engineering, as well as a mess in the production of nuclear fuel: they could not master the centrifuge uranium enrichment technology, and their archaic diffusion plants cannot provide the current number of reactors with fuel either volumes, nor in economics. Where else should they build reactors, if the current ones are critically dependent on the supply of enriched uranium from Russia?

[Rwmos]

With Westinghouse, everything is much more fun. No, Vogtl NPP had to hire 1500 (!!!) subcontractors from all over the world. But it’s even garbage, in the end, since there is money, you can buy a saucepan for the reactor in Korea.
Now what is the point. The problem is not the diversion of competencies in the field of heavy equipment. The problem is the leak of competencies in general in everything that is not PR or a commercial. We bought a boiler for the reactor - drove fifty meters - dropped it, thawed it back to the port, covered it with a tarp and told everyone. that was what was intended. The commission for construction is nailed - with overwhelming catches over 400 people !!! In a state of alcohol or drug intoxication, and picking up a plan, he sees that the fittings are imposed at random, and not according to plan. What, nafig, heavy, they are not able to build a wall, because everything is in nirvana with an overdose!

[Rwmos]

And all, the US nuclear power plants are no longer being built. The French - in fact, too, the second dozen years ruined and saved from the budget Areva bucks two blocks for dates. China is engaged in low-power reactors - Rosatom simply has no competitors in the world

[Andrey83]

What about South Korea?

[Rwmos]

A policy focused on the development of nuclear energy in the Republic of Kazakhstan will be curtailed. This was announced by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Moon Zhe Ying, during the ceremony of the decommissioning of the Kori-19 nuclear power plant held on June 1.

2017 year, consider the same as it was with the Germans. Kaput nuclear power plant from Korea. By the way, Westinghouse's bankruptcy also went awry for them - you thought who built the reactors for them? And now the Republic of Kazakhstan has broken off with reactors for Westinghouse - in the USA, China and India. Consider them, too, have run into bankruptcy

Rosatom may not have competitors in the world. And effective managers, in pursuit of profit, will drive any industry into depression that they have what we have.
On July 18, 2019, an emergency at a nuclear power plant: three power units were disconnected near Tver This is reported by Rambler: https://news.rambler.ru/incidents/42515721/?
Friends say who has relatives there, everything could end sadly.
Service staff is not enough. The machine park was sold at the price of scrap metal. They wanted to remove the firefighters. Now there is a machine park in the garages, and if they do not want to order something through the company, they go to the garages from the station.

[Rwmos]

There the transformer on the power transmission line flew, everything is in order at the nuclear power plant. And about the power line networks it has long been said that after the cheating of the current repair in the 90 they are now restored for several decades. But this is not a problem of effective managers, but the total looting of the country from the IMF - because of these debts for the current repair of networks, there wasn’t any money

[sak1969]

At the nuclear power plant, the protection did not work, and the transformer passed it.

[Rwmos]

On the contrary, the short circuit in the transformer laid two power lines, and therefore the shutdown of the reactors - there is nowhere to supply the electrician.
The old garbage - in Moscow, and then they began to deal with substations only when a quarter of Moscow was de-energized due to an accident.
True, what is surprising - there were no consequences at all))) New York in the 1977 year was de-energized - almost the whole city was not torn down due to panic and looting

An aggressive marketing policy in which all means are good to achieve goals, including blackmail and bribery, has long been the main competitive advantage of American and Western corporations. Its promotion costs corrupt states 30 to 50% of the value of contracts. But we should not forget that there should be a powerful informational cover for such muddy schemes that for a limited circle of Russian media it is not available in principle. Therefore, in the case of Russian products, the option of anti-advertising with discrediting American and Western developments is more likely to be more suitable.

[Antonina Ignatenko]

Yes, we with our Nord Stream are also good: we also have blackmail, and bribery, and dirty PR; the student surpassed the teacher. Of course, I’m glad for our nuclear energy, but I imagine what a mess in Rosatom in terms of spending money. For half a century, they built nuclear energy, which now brings crazy money to a limited group of people, while the people who built it receive 12 thousand rubles of pension per month. While this state of affairs continues to persist, I cannot perceive the victories of Rosatom as the victory of Russia.

Uh ... And so it is. The USA does not build nuclear power plants in the world. Westinghouse bankrupt the construction department. True, before that he sold it to the Japanese.
The Germans do not build. The British do not build. There are not even projects of new blocks.
The French have it, but they have enormous problems with implementation.

The Chinese are building. But they basically have blocks of others and they build more for themselves. But they are also building Rosatom. So everything in the world has already developed approximately the way you wanted.

Well, no one has such an aggressive policy as Rosatom. Only he offers to provide the full cycle of the unit’s life, and is ready to build conditions for participating in the sale of electricity.

So everything is world-class here. If we had the same in aviation or shipbuilding, now Boeing would be a contract manufacturer for Tupolev ....

I just want to say that all these benefits somehow do not really reach the people.

[carstorm 11]

You have already been told not to compare the final price and wholesale. For the final price, you still need to build a structure so that you can bring everything to the house. or do you think they’re selling at 50 kopecks somewhere, where is the consumer paying this money? if you decide to take it then at the price of electricity we are one of the most inexpensive countries. for example, I’ll say this: if you pay 500 rubles a month for light, then the German pays exactly the same expense 2200

Everything is relative. The salaries of the Germans are completely different, they can afford to pay more!

[bk316]

So the Germans have different salaries!

And the electrons don't give a damn about it. The share of salaries in the cost of electricity is negligible. Therefore, everything is right with us and with the connection of electricity and with the price. True, this is largely the legacy of the USSR and it is a pity that they cannot restore order with the connection of gas.

[carstorm 11]

gas connection will never rush. we already consume wild quantities of it in the country. almost the most in the world. and gasifying the population quickly means that it will drive even more to the domestic market. export only 30 percent of the rest we eat ourselves.

[bk316]

gas connection will never rush.

Yes, God hurry him, the local kings, with the help of their front companies, profit from the "last mile".

[carstorm 11]

Well, that's another topic. for criminal cases. I speak in a general way.

[Antonina Ignatenko]

As much as necessary, we consume as much. With our poverty and climate, there is a lot of cooking and heating. And the redneck policies of today's government will cost them and their children work, reputation, and, ideally, freedom.

[Antonina Ignatenko]

So why does a German pay clearly - Germany is not among the leaders in nuclear energy! It is not clear why electricity and delivery cannot be made free from the profits from electricity exports for those who built this energy infrastructure.

[Megatron]

The German gets very different money. And to the fools who have put some cons to me here, I’ll say: read how Chubais sawed and pilfered, privatized RAO EU and how we pay to different gaskets there, which are now called "energy sales companies", but they belong, oddly enough, to relatives and friends of various bureaucrats. This is how people are robbed in a communal apartment by all and sundry, read about the younger's seagull, with garbage disposal, and more on this topic.

I hope that we will continue to be leaders ...

[depressant]

Europe, frightened by Chernobyl, is reducing the number of nuclear power plants, and we are building up energy units. And it pleases me. An alternative way to generate electricity using windmills, tidal waves and other things is not able to fully meet the needs of industry if it grows. And the production of electricity through controlled fusion is still very far away. Moreover, in the initial stages, such production will be very expensive.

Europe, scared by Chernobyl, reduces the number of nuclear power plants

The accident in Chernobyl caused a slight neurosis among Europeans, they were really scared after the accident in Fukushima. Merkel said that the Fukushima accident is apocalyptic and that a high-tech nation like the Japanese has been helpless. Following Germany, Belgium, Spain and Switzerland abandoned nuclear power plants. In general, over the past decades, 164 nuclear power units have been shut down. I agree that the production of electricity through controlled fusion is a matter of the future, but now Europe needs gas, and Russia is buying this gas and will buy it for a very long time.

And how is it? They say that everything is well-groomed in the territories of the nuclear power plant - flower beds with Christmas tree flowers :-))

Guys, what are the cons? I saw photos of the territory of our nuclear power plants. Everything is really well-groomed and very beautiful there, and it pleases me. I did not mention the technological cooling pools. There are workshops at any production facility, and there is an adjacent territory. Why do you try to see only the bad in the statements of your colleagues in the forum? More optimism and goodwill! :-))

Novovoronezh NPP marks 55 years this year. From memory, the power start of the 1st unit with the VVER-210 RP took place on September 30.09.1964, XNUMX.

[depressant]

The consumption of electricity generated by nuclear power plants decreased from 1996% from 2013 to 6,8. The European layman is intimidated by the consequences. In fact, production has become more expensive. As for their windmills, they say that a hum for many kilometers can’t be approached, let alone live and produce something. And developing countries do not follow the path of Europe, which gave a chance for the excellent development of our Atomprom.

[Svetlana]

Consumption electricity generated nuclear power plant, from 1996 to 2013 decreased

Do not believe it. You can measure the energy production of nuclear power plants. Consumption - it is impossible, because electricity, after production, falls into single power grid and from there to the end user. Therefore, where is the energy that boiled your tea produced, at a nuclear power plant,
TPP, HPP, etc., it is impossible to calculate. In a single, central distribution network, everything was mixed up.

[asv363]

And in Russia, output at nuclear power plants is growing steadily, year after year. In the same Germany, according to local media publications, direct and indirect costs of subsidizing photovoltaics amounted to about 100 mln. Euro as of 2013.

[Elephant]

Only for some reason, almost no new plants are added to the country.

[Vadim237]

They just don’t talk about them - but they are added.

[depressant]

Feeling like an ignoramus, I went to see what "photovoltaic" was. Although, of course, from the constituent words, one could guess that this is simply the generation of electricity using light-sensitive elements. In particular, photodiodes. But, without encountering the term earlier, I learned something new. Converting light into electricity using FEP - photoelectric converters. Three generations - silicon wafers, thin films, organic and inorganic. Vacuum spraying, etc.
Yes, I remember, here, in VO, one comrade said that he equipped the roof with panels.
But the panels are not weatherproof. And we are not in the Sahara.
The advantage of a nuclear power plant in power and all-weather. But you can’t put it anywhere. For example, at the junction of lithospheric plates. Or on a fault. They say that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is standing on a kind of geological crack that stretches from Italy right up to the Ural Mountains.

[asv363]

All right, not all-weather. In our conditions, you always have to put a diesel generator. In general, the solution is not for reliable power supply.
There is no fault under Chernobyl.

From 1996 to 2013, the consumption of electricity generated by nuclear power plants decreased by 6,8%.
