Kursk NPP (Kurchatov)

Kursk Nuclear Power Plant - one of the largest power plants in Russia.It is located on the bank of the river.Diet.Kursk is located forty kilometers from the plant.Nuclear power plant consists of 4 units.The total capacity of all - 4 GW.

General

Address to which is Kursk NPP: Kurchatov, Industrial Zone, ABK-1.On the basis of the nuclear power plant works and the information-analytical department in charge of public relations.From this center also supplied information to the media about those or other events organized by the Kursk NPP.Contact Department: (47131) 4-95-41 (tel / fax), (47131) 2-32-60, 5-43-68, 4-85-44 - Information Centre, (47131) 5-68-13,5-46-38 - newspaper.The publication, which is issued on the basis of the facility, called "For the peaceful atom."

story buildings

In 1965, the Soviet Union, and more particularly, in the European part of the country, marked an acute shortage of solid fuel.In this connection, it adopted a special program for the construction of nuclear power plants.Construction of Kursk NPP was assumed at the same site where the planned hydroelectric power station.Nuclear power plant project has been executed by the Moscow Institute.Zhuk and Leningrad VNIPIET.According to the documentation, each block of the object contained 1 RBMK-1000 and 2 turbines.The first prospectors began Leningrad specialists.They made the preliminary work on the ground.

main part of the follow-up activities lay on the survey team following the expedition.The staff conducted research under the main and auxiliary elements of the future nuclear power plant.In addition, there were explored Lipinski, Dichnyanskie and Tarasovskoye (Kurchatov) waterworks for drinking water supply, deposits and loam sand for construction.Upon completion of this work event followed the second and third line.It was conducted engineering and geological survey for the construction of industrial and residential buildings.Kursk NPP is being built by people came from all over the Union.At the facility, in addition to Russian, worked Belarusians, Georgians, Bashkirs, Kalmyks, Kazakhs, Ukrainians.

Description

into operation two lines of the object (each with 2 power) were introduced in the period from 1976 to 1985-th years.The nuclear power plant was the second, where they were installed reactors of the RBMK-1000 (first became Leningrad).In every unit there is the following equipment:

  • turbines K-500-65 / 3000 (2 pieces).
  • uranium-graphite reactor RBMK-1000 with additional support systems.
  • Generator TBB-500-2, 2 pcs.The capacity of each - 500 MW.

Each unit is equipped with some special rooms.They contain the reactors, control panels, accessories, fuel transportation system.Each queue has a common room for special cleaning systems, water and gas.For all the four blocks that includes Kursk NPP, equipped with a computer room.

energy distribution

station operates 9 power lines:

  • 3 to 750 kV for the Belgorod and Bryansk regions, as well as the northeast of Ukraine.
  • 1 - 110 kV is used for backup supply the needs of the station.
  • 6 lines of 330 kV, two to the north of Ukraine, 4 - to the Kursk region.

must be said that this nuclear plant is considered one of the most important nodes of UES of Russia.The main energy consumer is the system of "Center".It covers 19 regions of the Central Federal District.The share, which falls on the Kursk NPP installed capacity of all plants Chernozemya, more than 50%.In addition, the facility provides 90% of the energy value of industrial enterprises located in the area.

construction of the fifth power

Construction of the station began in 1985, the year in December.In the 1990s, working several times suspended and then resumed again.In the mid-2000s, almost no construction was carried out, despite the fact that the unit had a fairly high level of readiness.By March 2011 it became known that the entry of this part of the station into operation may require 45 billion. Rubles.and 3.5 years.

Justification construction unit 5

The analysis experts concluded that in the original draft were not taken into account the impact of network constraints under which the use of five units is not justified from an economic point of view.In this regard, in March 2012, the decision was officially announced that the construction of the original plan will not continue.Considering the option of the new VVER-1200.But in this case it is necessary to radically change the whole project.Less obvious justification dostraivaniya fifth power grew in the case if we take into account the construction of a replacement facility Kursk NPP-2 in the village.Makarovka, on the other side of the Diet.Roughly new units will be in operation until the output of exhaust components Kursk NPP - in the period from 2020 to 2022.

Kursk NPP service

In the current (2014) year from August 22 began planned activities for Unit 4.In particular, to repair the seventh turbogenerator, which was disconnected from the network at runtime.According to information obtained from the Center for Public Affairs conducted activities that are included in the annual schedule.Power of the 4th power unit at the time the work has been lowered by 50%.It has also repair unit №3.It was launched on August 31 of the current 2014 year.Planned activities were carried out, diagnostics and modernization of the equipment and systems.The radiation background in the territory, where the Kursk nuclear power plant, which is represented by a photo in the article and in the vicinity of the object does not exceed the established norms, and the natural background values.

conditions for employees

should be noted that one of the primary tasks that confronts a guide, a security personnel.In addition, the management of Kursk NPP generates for employees economic environment conducive to ensuring a high level of social life.consumption.The objects through which the implementation of the tasks, acts "Energetic" (a complex of sports facilities) and the "Orbit" (sanatorium).First opened in 1986, the year.Each year in the sports and recreation groups and sections involved more than 2 thousand people.The pools are daily wellness sessions.The complex "Energetic" held training for beginners and experienced athletes.For all units of Kursk NPP is represented by time spent on physical education activities, and interplant intrashop competitions in various sports.Sanatorium "Orbit" is working since 1987.It is located in a pine forest, in a picturesque area on the right bank of the Diet, near Kurchatov (fifteen kilometers).Departmental health center includes a dining room, dormitories, a medical complex.On the territory there is a library, cinema room.Vacationers can enjoy the sports and dance floor, a pool and fitness rooms, a juice bar and a solarium.Over the past few years it has been updated physiotherapy and dental equipment, purchased salt mine.On the territory of the sanatorium has a modern hydrotherapy.Sanatorium "Orbit" is an excellent base for the organization of restoration and recreational activities for the staff of the nuclear power plant.
