Two new power units with VVER-1200 reactors are being built at the Leningrad NPP.
Construction of the third and fourth power units with VVER-1200 reactors continues at the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant. Work on both sites is progressing ahead of schedule.
In the third power unit, all elements of the "fusion trap" have already been installed - one of the main passive safety systems of nuclear power plants, developed by Russian experts. Now the contractor is preparing to install the third layer of the inner braking shell and continues with the construction of the concrete shaft. Next year they plan to install a reactor vessel there.
In the fourth power unit, a shaft is also erected and "melt trap" elements are installed. In addition, the construction of the inner and outer containment shells of the reactor building continues.
Once operational, each of the new power units will produce nearly 9 billion kWh of electricity annually. It will provide electricity to the residents of the region and support the implementation of large investment projects in the Leningrad region.
