Leningradskaya NPP is the only plant in Russia where two different types of PowerPoint units operate together. Channel uranium-graphite RBMK-1000 and water-cooled VVER-1200 run side by side. In addition, a new innovative power unit 3+ with a VVER-1200 reactor runs commercial energy production operation from October 29, 2018. It replaced the RBMK-1000 power unit No. 1 shut down on December 21, 2018. Today we are building a VVER-1200 power unit No. 2.
The Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant is located in the city of Sosnovy Bor in the Leningrad Region of Russia, on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, about 70 kilometers west of the center of St. Petersburg. As of 2021, the plant has four nuclear reactors of the RBMK-1000 type, of which the first and second power units have been shut down.
