Belarusian nuclear power plant to get utility water in October
20.04.2016
The Belarusian nuclear power plant will start getting utility water from the Viliya River in October 2016, BelTA learned from Mikhail Filimonov, Director General of the state enterprise Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant, during Atomexpo Belarus on 20 April.
The Director General said: “One of the key steps in building the Belarusian nuclear power plant is delivering utility water from the Viliya River. It will be done in October 2016. The source of utility water is located 11km away from the construction site. The necessary pipes have been laid down. Small amounts of water will be borrowed from the Viliya River only for the sake of compensating for losses due to vaporization.”
Apart from that, the installation of primary equipment of the first power-generating unit will begin this year. The reactor vessel was delivered to the construction site from Russian Volgodonsk in late 2015. Its installation will begin in May. Nuclear fuel is supposed to be delivered to the power plant by the end of 2017.
At present work is in progress at 105 out of 131 facilities of the Belarusian nuclear power plant, including 78 facilities of the first reactor and 27 ones of the second reactor. No deviations from the schedule have been registered, stressed Mikhail Filimonov.
The Belarusian nuclear power plant is a project to build an AES-2006 type nuclear power plant 18km away from Ostrovets, Grodno Oblast. The Belarusian nuclear power plant will have two power-generating units with the total output capacity of up to 2,400MW (2x1,200MW). In line with the general contract for building the nuclear power plant, the first power-generating unit is scheduled for commissioning in 2018, with the second one to go online in 2020.
