NPP-2006. At the moment, it is the most up-to date typical design of Russian nuclear plant of new “3+” generation with an improved technical and economic performance. The project purpose is to achieve up-to-date safety and reliability characteristics alongside with optimized capital investments for plant construction. The design provides for use of VVER reactor with electric power output of at least 1150 MW (and an option for uprating to 1200 MW). Two NPP projects were developed under the approved technical assignment: Novovoronezh NPP-2 (General Designer JSC ”Atomenergoproekt”, Moscow) and Leningrad NPP-2 (General Designer - JSC Saint Petersburg Research and Design Institute ”Atomenergoproekt”).
