The radiation background at the plant and in its 30-km monitoring zone is within norm.
Novovoronezh nuclear power plant was launched on September 30, 1964.
A total of five WWER (water-water) reactors have been built at Novovoronezh nuclear power plant since its launch.
The reactors were the prototype of serial WWER-400 and WWER-1000.
Novovoronezh nuclear power plant has experience in the field of environment protection and control. In the last 43 years the nearby area has been under constant radiation control with no negative effects reported so far, which proves that WWER is a safe and efficiency reactor.
