Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant: the referential project for Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant

The Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant project in Astravyets will have 2 power units with Russian VVER-1200 reactors; 2,400 MW total capacity Construction of the first power unit was launched on November 06, 2013. Commissioning of the power units is scheduled for 2018 and 2020. The NPP-2006 design was selected for the first Belarusian NPP since it fully complies with IAEA requirements. VVER-1200 is a flagship nuclear reactor and a core product of Russia`s ROSATOM' State Atomic Energy Corporation. Being an evolution of VVER-1000 reactors the new design features improved performance across all parameters and a range of additional safety systems preventing radioactive substances from getting out of hermetically sealed containment in cases of emergency. VVER-1200 has a 20% higher power capacity compared to VVER-1000. It also has an extended 60-year service life, high capacity utilization (90%), and an 18-month refueling cycle.
