en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 16, Unit 1 of the Rostov Nuclear Power Plant was reconnected to the grid after completing planned maintenance and modernization. The overhaul, which began on March 21, was the longest in the unit's history, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of its commercial operation. Thanks to proper planning and organization, the work was completed 10 days ahead of schedule.

During the overhaul, experts and contractors at the Rostov Nuclear Power Plant conducted comprehensive maintenance on the reactor unit, including fully unloading fuel from the core, repairing major equipment and all three safety systems, and completing major overhauls of the high-pressure cylinder and turbine generator in the turbine hall, with rotor disassembly and repair. As part of the life extension program for Unit 1, a significant amount of modernization was also carried out, including updating the safety control system equipment for process parameters, replacing water treatment filters in the pump station, upgrading process water system pumps, and replacing cables and equipment for the independent power supply system.

Andrey Salnikov, Director of the Rostov Nuclear Power Plant, stated that these measures are a key step toward obtaining the license to continue operating the facility beyond 2031.

Unit 1 of the Rostov Nuclear Power Plant was commissioned on December 25, 2001, and has since generated over 199 billion kWh of electricity, enough to meet the power demand of all users in the Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts for two years.
