The Rostov Nuclear Power Plant (Russian: ), also known as the Volgodonsk Nuclear Power Plant (Russian: ), is a Russian nuclear power plant located on the left bank of Tsimlyansk Reservoir in the lower stream of the Don river near Volgodonsk, Rostov Oblast.[1]
Construction of Rostov reactor No. 1 began in 1977 and operations began in 2001. Construction of reactor No. 2 commenced in 1983 and finished in 2010. Unit 3 was connected to the electrical grid for the first time in December 2015.[1] Unit 4 underwent first criticality on 7 December 2017,[2] and put into commercial operation on 28 September 2018.[3] Units 3 and 4 are of an upgraded VVER-1000/320 subtype.[4]
The post–Soviet Union revival of the nuclear industry of Russia took place at Rostov in the early 2000s, with the completion of the building of unit 2 in 2010, unit 3 in 2015 and unit 4 in 2017. Unit 4 was the last VVER-1000/V-320 reactor built.[5]
