摘要

The head of Russia's Federal Atomic Energy Agency (Rosatom) has said that the basic design of a Russian-made 1,200MW nuclear power system should be completed in 2006 with the construction of the first unit planned to begin in 2007. The Nuclear Society of Russia told NucNet that Rosatom head, Sergei Kiriyenko said the new-design unit is known as 'NPP-2006'. The first unit could be built at Russia's Novovoronezh nuclear power plant near the city of Voronezh, about 500km south of Moscow, by 2012.
