1. The importance of nuclear
energy in Lithuania
Why nuclear energy is so important for us? In
2009 INPP (Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant) was
creating 76,23 % energy of Lithuania. Also INPP
was the most powerful nuclear plant in whole
world. Nuclear energy concludes ¾ of all energyworld. Nuclear energy concludes ¾ of all energy
in Lithuania because of that it is very important
to improve nuclear industry in Lithuania. Here
we will present closed INPP and Visaginas
Nuclear Power Plant Project.
2. Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant
Ignalina nuclear power plant was started to built in 1974.
On December 31, 1983 unit 1 commissioned.
In 1986 all erection works were being completed, so unit 2
was started in 1987.
3. It took 11 years to build the world's
most powerful nuclear plant.
4. INPP (Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant) Unit 1 was
shut down at the end of December of 2004.
Following the resolutions taken by the
Government INPP Unit 2 was shut down on 31
December 2009.
5. During the 26 years of operation Ignalina NPP
has produced 307,9 billion kWh of electricity:
Unit 1 - 136,9 billion kWh and Unit 2 - 170,2
billion kWh.
6. Some facts
• Location – Utenos region,Visaginas.
• Explotation was started on December 31, 1983.• Explotation was started on December 31, 1983.
• Explotation was finished at 22:54 on December 31,
2009.
• INPP has had 2 reactors.
• Kind of the reactors - RBMK (rus. РБМК, Реактор
Большой Мощности Канальный)
• Power – 3000 MW
• In 2008 INPP was making 70% energy of Lithuania.
7. Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant
Visaginas nuclear power plant is a plannedVisaginas nuclear power plant is a planned
Nuclear power plant project in Lithuania. It is
proposed to be built at the site of the closed
Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant.
8. Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant established in
the 2008 August 28 and this company carries
out new nuclear power plant projectout new nuclear power plant project
preparation.
9. The capacity of the power plant would be up
to 3,400 megawatts and it would likely
consist of two reactors.
10. Depending on the choice of reactor, the
power plant can be built by 2015 or 2017 to
2018. The project is expected to cost around
US$9 billion.US$9 billion.
