RUSSIA'S NUCLEAR POWER OUTPUT DOWN
MOSCOW, January 25 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's nuclear power plants cut
electricity generation by 3.8 percent last year, said the chief
engineers of Russian, Ukrainian and Armenian nuclear power plants at
a conference that began Tuesday.
"In 2004 Russia's nuclear power stations generated 142.9 billion
kilowatts per hour of electricity, or 96.2 percent of the
corresponding period last year," Rosenergoatom said in a press
release.
"Simultaneously, last year's performance merits a positive
assessment. In 2004, upon modernization, 300 megawatt-limitations
were lifted for Unit Two of the Kursk Nuclear Power Station, service
life extended for 15 years for Unit Two of the Kola Nuclear Power
Station, modernization completed and service life extended for Unit
One of the Leningrad Nuclear Power Station [and] Unit Three of the
Kalinin Nuclear Power Station was put into service," Rosenergoatom
reported.
"Already this year, return from these attainments will mean an
increasing utilization rate of the installed capacity and, of course,
an increasing commercial output," the press release stated.
