Written by Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Belarus

In accordance with international practice, scheduled maintenance work is carried out annually at each nuclear power plant unit to confirm the reliability of equipment and technological systems. To do this, specialists will run detailed diagnostics, including performing advanced inspection of metal and welded joints of equipment in the reactor and turbine sections. These activities will be made within the approved schedules.

An important part of the upcoming work will be the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one - about 25% of fuel assemblies with nuclear fuel will be reloaded into the reactor core. It was delivered to the station and passed entrance control.

Belarusian and Russian organizations will be involved in the planned repairs.

The second power unit of the BelNPP was put into commercial operation on November 1, 2023 - in total it generated 9.2 billion kWh of electricity. In general, since the inclusion of the first power unit in the unified energy system (November 3, 2020), Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant has produced 33.1 billion kWh of electricity.
