Unit 2 of Russia’s Kola NPP was shut down on 12 November to undergo the final phase of a large-scale modernisation programme to extend its life to 2034. Kola NPP is a branch of nuclear utility Rosenergoatom (part of state nuclear corporation Rosatom). The station is located 200 km south of Murmansk on the shores of Lake Imandra in the Arctic circle and comprises four VVER-440 units which began operation in 1973, 1974, 1981 and 1984. Their 30-year design life has already been extended by 15 years, with additional 15 year extensions for units 1 and 2.
