The BN-800 sodium-cooled fast reactor at unit 4 of Russia’s Beloyarsk NPP began operating at 100% capacity for the first time on 17 August. Comprehensive testing of the unit at its rated power will be undertaken over 15 days as the final condition in preparation for commercial operation and before nuclear utility Rosenergoatom can receive permission from the nuclear regulator Rostechnadzor to operate the reactor commercially. This is scheduled for late autumn. Since the beginning of this year, as power was gradually increased, Beloyarsk 4 has generated more than 1.3TWh of electricity. It is expected to produce 3.5TWh during the whole of 2016.
