How Rostov-2 started up

摘要

The construction of twin 1000MW capacity units of the Rostov (Volgodonsk) nuclear power plant in parallel started in 1979, but the project was mothballed in 1990. In 1998 it was resumed, and the first nuclear power unit was put on line in 2001. The next year, the examination and survey of Unit 2 started. In 2006, a supplement to the Rostov NPP project covering Unit 2 was issued. In 2007, the document passed a review by the Federal Agency for Construction, Housing and Public Utilities (Rosstroy).
