1973.
ST.
PETERSBURG, January 21. /TASS/. The Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant (LNPP)
reached an unprecedented figure of electricity generation for Russian NPPs
totaling 1 trillion kWh throughout the service period, information and public
relations department of LNPP said.
"The
Leningrad NPP reached the record-breaking electric power generation for
domestic nuclear power plants on January 20, 2018, amounting to 1 trillion kWh.
Four power units of the LNPP provided such quantity of electric power to the
national grid system during 45 years (starting from December 1973). Such figure
was recorded for the first time in the history of the Russian nuclear energy
industry," the department said.
Total
energy consumption in Russia amounted to 1.04 trillion kWh in 2017, said Andrei
Petrov, chief executive of Rosenergoatom - the LNPP operator. "Comparing
with other countries, the LNPP is among top five European NPP in terms of this
indicator. NPPs above it are working with six power units," Petrov noted.
The
Leningrad NPP (branch of Rosenergoatom) was put into service in 1973 with four
power units equipped with RBMK-1000 reactors.
