First unit of BelNPP to be shut down for preventive maintenance

The first unit of BelNPP will be stopped for preventive maintenance by the end of April. It will last about 80 days. This was stated by Energy Minister Viktor Karankevich. The head of the department notes that similar maintenance work is carried out annually at nuclear power plants to ensure a stable operating condition of equipment.

Now the first unit is working at nominal capacity. Since its commissioning into the unified energy system, more than 7.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity have been generated.
