Unit 2 of the Leningrad II nuclear power plant in western Russia has entered the final stage of pilot operation - a 15-day programme of tests at nominal capacity. On successful completion of these tests, the VVER-1200 unit will be stopped for inspection of its equipment and, following regulatory approval, will then be put into industrial operation, which is scheduled for this spring.
"These tests are a criterion for the success of the entire stage of experimental and industrial operation, which total more than 140 days," said Alexander Belyaev, chief engineer of Leningrad II.
