Immediately at two Russian nuclear power plant discovered the problem

Currently, the Leningrad nuclear power plant worked all four of power, which under the control schedule bear the burden total 3540 megawatts. Violations of limits and conditions for the safe operation of power plants there. The radiation background at the industrial plant in line with long-limits.

Power of the fourth power unit of Leningrad nuclear power plant is reduced by half to 500 megawatts in connection with the shutdown of a turbine generators news agency.

As reported in the department of information SELA, on Friday at 7:38 Moscow time turbogenerator number 7 was stopped because of the problems encountered. "After removing the comments in the industrial overheated steam turbine TG-7 will again be put into work. This is a common technical situation, any risks associated with radiation, no" - said the head of the department of information SELA Sergei Averyanov.

Currently, the Leningrad nuclear power plant worked all four of power, which under the control schedule bear the burden total 3540 megawatts. Violations of limits and conditions for the safe operation of power plants there. The radiation background at the industrial plant in line with long-limits to the natural radiation areas. According to the automated system of radiation monitoring, radiation background unchanged at 0.13 per hour, which is in line with long-limits to the natural radiation areas.

Since the beginning of this year, the Leningrad nuclear power plant produced 19 billion 337 million 324 thousand kWh of electricity. Indicator formulation for 18 days of September amounted to 1 billion 751 million 673 thousand kWh. During the years of operation, beginning with the launch the first unit in December 1973, produced 756 billion 229 million 500 thousand kWh of electricity.

In the Saratov region off the second power Balakovo nuclear power plant: defective generator

In the Saratov region is disconnected from the network second power Balakovo nuclear power plant. This is due to the failure of the electrical generator number 2, told Interfax at the center of public information AES.

"To fix the problem at equipment (oil pipeline system seal) 19 September at 12:50 Moscow time power number 2 Balakovo nuclear power plant has left, by request, from the network in accordance with the project algorithm," - said the agency interlocutor.

"Reactor operates at a reduced level of power. Energobloki number 3 and number 4 continue to operate unchanged at a given level of power.

Power number 1 is on the repairs until mid-December 2008, "- he said.

"In accordance with the international scale of assessment of events at nuclear power plants, this event is not related to security and the estimated outside the scale", - stressed the representative of AES.

The radiation background at the station and surrounding area - no change is at a level consistent with the rules of operation of power plants, and no more than natural background levels.

As the press service of the "Rosenergoatom", intended to eliminate the defect during the day.

Previously, it was reported that unit number 2 Balakovo nuclear power plant, August 29, is included in the network after routine preventive maintenance, was again shut down for troubleshooting electrical equipment on 31 August. The newly integrated power network on Sept. 2.

Balakovo nuclear power plant with four VVER-1000 was built in the years 1985-1993. Installed power station - 4 thousand megawatts.
