structure of the Republic of Belarus provides electricity electricity imports from Lithuania, Latvia and Russia.By 2020, when it will be displayed on the working capacity of the Belarusian nuclear power plant, the situation should change.
Historical Background
Belarusian electric power developed in the framework of a unified system for receiving and distribution of electric power in the USSR.Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Belarus has not built any of its own object.To modernize all previously exploited.
In 1986, after the Chernobyl accident the worst consequences of the explosion felt the Byelorussian SSR, seriously affected the Gomel and Mogilev regions.For information: Ukraine exposure was recorded in areas 30-kilometer zone in Zhitomir and Kiev regions, the Russian Federation has undergone partial irradiation Bryansk region.
The construction of the Belarusian nuclear power plant USSR was considered as early as the 90s of the 20th century.Then, this issue has been recognized by untimely economic and political reasons.
diplomatic decisions and official documents
Republic returned to the issue of the construction of a nuclear power plant only in the 21st century.
In 2006, the experts decided on the territory under the nuclear facility - is Grodno region, 18 km from the town of Ostrowiec.The Belarusian nuclear power plant due to huge investment could not be built by the Republic.Therefore, participation in the construction were invited to three countries: Russia, China and the United States.
During the negotiations on the review of the participation of the US and China in the project of the Russian side expressed its disapproval of the matter in favor of third countries.As a result of "diplomatic bargaining" within five years (2006 to 2011). Russia singles out a loan of 10 billion dollars for the construction of nuclear power plants.The problem was finally closed by direct negotiation VVPutin AGLukashenko in March 2011.At the same time further announced that Russia agrees with the requirement of the Belarusian public auction for the purchase of equipment for nuclear power plants.
construction of the Belarusian NPP
Excavation began with the end of 2011.The process started after the signing of the Decree of the President of Belarus No. 499 "On the construction of the Belarusian nuclear power plant", which determined the contractor - JSC "Atomstroyexport" (as part of the Russian company Rosatom).
In February 2015 period adjusted start station: 2018 should be put into operation one unit, in 2020 - the second.
To date (April 2015), the work is on schedule.
Suppliers determined in public trading.Naturally, some of them have won the enterprises of Belarus.The share of local supply of 7.9%.
The most successful in this regard - Russian enterprise.Part of Ukraine won the bidding (for example, has already put Energomashspetsstal blanks for the main circulation pump).
Today mastered 15% of the funding, 36% of the installed valve and laid concrete 35% (April 2015).

The station is two blocks with VVER-1200/491, the electric power of each of them - 1150 MW (with a capacity factor of 92%).The duration of operation of the reactor between the fuel loading - two years.
Belarusian nuclear power plant will operate on Russian fuel.The issues of nuclear waste will of the Russian Federation.
As power generated by nuclear power plants, Belarus will become the twelfth of eighteen European countries, which will operate nuclear power plants.

Safety Belarusian NPP
station built to the standard Russian design "NPP-2006" (it laid improved technical and economic performance of the third generation of nuclear power plants).
project involves the implementation of all the recommendations of the IAEA on protection against earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, even a direct hit by an airplane.Feature of this nuclear power plant will be the creation of additional passive safety systems (without human) in combination with the traditional.The Belarusian nuclear power plant will be equipped with a unique object - a trap molten nuclear fuel.It is the world's only invention of this level: none of the existing nuclear power plant does not have such protection.
frames for nuclear power in Belarus
Start station planned for 2018, and are trained today.As the Belarusian nuclear power plant is based on the Russian version of the operating reactors, future specialists undergo training at the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant.The Ural Federal University (Yekaterinburg) from September 1, 2015 the first 20 Belarusian students will study at the bachelor.
the end of 2015, the leadership of Belarus guarantees that will launch a training center for nuclear specialists.While work on the station under construction professionals invited from other countries.
