In the course of today, the operations personnel will increase the unit output to 80 per cent RTP. The power tests will follow at this power level. They will end by Saturday, July 18, and, subsequently, the unit output will be increased to 100 per cent RTP.
“It was a hard outage including a number of activities that were unique and that won’t be repeated in the next years. Those were especially the reconstruction of low pressure turbines rotors and modernization of the refueling machine. Also, implementation of a range of additional technical measures to enhance the equipment reliability that result from the proceeding of the project SAFELY 15TERA has been included. We succeeded in completing of all planned activities as well as in meeting the planned outage time.
