Technical and economic assessments of planned and premature removal of first-generation nuclear power plants from operation in Russia
Four power-generating units are now being removed from operation in the Russian Federation - the first-second units with water-graphite reactors AMB in the Beloyarsk and VVER in the Novovoronezh nuclear power plants; these units were shut down in 1983, 1989, 1984, and 1990. respectively. Work is now being performed on these units in preparation for removal from operation. In connection with the exhaustion of the service life, from 2001 to 2010 another 15 power-generating units with a total electric capacity of about 10 GW will be removed from operation in Russia.
