“In August, the second unit of the Leningrad NPP-2 with a VVER-1200 reactor was brought to the minimum power level,” Likhachev is quoted by TASS as saying.
He said that "this month the turbine will be launched on it, the first kilowatts of electricity will be produced by the unit in October".
Earlier it was reported that Russian nuclear power plants in 2019 set a new record for electricity generation, producing almost 209 billion kilowatt-hours.
