"Comprehensive tests continue at the first unit of the Belarusian nuclear power plant. One of them involved the discharge of steam to test the systems and equipment. The tests revealed that the lids of the steam noise absorbers need an additional adjustment,” the ministry said.
The tests will continue in accordance with the phase schedule. Currently, the first unit is connected to the power grid, the ministry said.
The Belarusian nuclear power plant is being built near Ostrovets, Grodno Oblast using the Russian design AES-2006 featuring two VVER-1200 reactors with the total output capacity of 2,400MW. The engineering division of the Russian state nuclear industry corporation Rosatom is the general contractor.
