Leningrad 2-1 Provides District Heating For Sosnovy Bor :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Leningrad 2-1 Provides District Heating For Sosnovy Bor :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Unit 1 of the Leningrad 2 nuclear power station in western Russia has been integrated into the heat supply system of the city of Sosnovy Bor, state operator Rosenergoatom said.



Output from the Generation III+ VVER V-491 pressurised water reactor unit, which began commercial operation in October 2018, will replace electricity and heating capacity lost with the closure in December 2018 of the first of four RBMK-1000 units at the neighbouring Leningrad station.



Leningrad 2-1 was reconnected to the grid late last month after a short period of scheduled preventive maintenance, the first since the plant began commercial operation.
