The reactor of the Armenian NPP will be stopped today for repairs.
According to the standard annual repair campaign program, today the reactor will be shut down. Turbine unit No. 3 will be also shut down for partial modernization, RİA Novosti reported.
On August 1, the launch of a power unit with a partially modernized turbo unit No. 4 is envisaged. Commissioning of turbo unit No. 3 is planned for December 1 of this year after completion of its modernization.
As a result of the works planned for 2018, a significant increase in the output of the power unit is expected.
The Armenian government's program provides for the extension of the operating life of the existing NPP unit until 2026, as well as the phased commissioning of new units, although the life of the reactors has long expired.
