Russia - Nuclear Plant Tour
TI: 10:50:26
WTN was given the rare opportunity on Thursday (18/1) to film the Russian Defence Ministry conducting a nuclear accident drill. The drill took place at the Kursk nuclear power plant, 80 outside the city of Kursk, 550 miles south of Moscow. The Kursk reactor is one of four in Russia of the same design as the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the site of the world's worst nuclear accident in 1986. Teams of specially trained Defence Department soldiers working with local authorities rehearsed what steps they would take in an accident. Wearing
special protective suits, they practised carrying out victims, spraying special foam to put out flames, washing radiation off cars and buildings, and carrying off truckloads of radioactive soil.
The Atomic Energy Minstry, which also participated, said it hoped there would never be another disaster like the one at Chernobyl in 1986, but wanted to be ready just in case.

Vladimir Marshkov, specialist in directing operations in case of nuclear
explosion near Moscow, SOT (in Russian): After the Chernobyl disaster, and after the disaster in Armenia, there stands a major question: how can one correctly coordinate such a large number of people and workers? But now the main matter is how to succinctly coordinate all of the workers in an organised
manner.

Safety fears surround the world's oldest atomic power plant
Do you want to hijack a nuclear power plant? Ask Leo Scherer, he tried... After September 11th (9/11) Leo devised a secret operation to show the world how easily terrorists could get close to nuclear power plants.
In 2002, he led a group of Greenpeace activists which managed to plant harmless booby traps around the perimeter of the world's oldest atomic energy site at Beznau in Switzerland. Because of Leo, the operating firm reinforced its security measures.
Today, visiting his friend Hein…

A primeira usina de energia nuclear no mundo na Rússia

A Usina Nuclear de Obninsk, foi a primeira usina nuclear do mundo, ou seja, o primeiro reator nuclear que produziu eletricidade industrialmente, embora em pequena escala.
Construída na Cidade das Ciências de Obninsk, Oblast de Kaluga, a cerca de 110 quilômetros a sudoeste de Moscou, na União Soviética, ela foi conectada à rede elétrica em junho de 1954. A usina permaneceu em operação até 2002, embora sua produção de eletricidade para a rede tenha cessado em 1959; depois disso, funcionou apenas como uma central de pesquisa e produção de isótopos.

RUSSIA: NUCLEAR POWER FACILITIES
Russian/Nat
Russia's Atomic Energy Minister Yevgeny Adamov said on Tuesday that two of the country's nuclear facilities remain shut following a failure in the country's power grid.
Reactors of the Mayak nuclear fuel processing plant near the Ural Mountains city of Chelyabinsk and the Beloyarsk nuclear power plant, were shut down by a power outage over the weekend.
Adamov told a press conference emergency systems at both facilities worked well, which prevented a major mishap.
The Mayak plant, built in the late forties to produce plutonium for the Soviet army, has been instrumental to the Soviet Union's military might.
It also was the major source of radioactive contamination in the Checlyabinsk region, often described as the most polluted in the world.
Mayak was responsible for at least three nuclear accidents, the worst of which occurred in 1957, when large areas of land and the River Techa were contaminated with radiation.
Adamov also commented on plans to lift the nuclear submarine Kursk, which sank with all its 118 crew members in the Barents Sea on August 12.
He said it would be best to leave the submarine where it is -- on the sea bottom.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
We have nuclear reactors at Mayak, which were shut off during the activation of emergency systems. In other words, a failure in the power grid activates a scheduled routine in our system. One of such routines envisages outage of power from the external grid. A corresponding technical mechanism is launched to switch off the (nuclear) facility. And these means were activated in a normal way.
SUPER CAPTION: Yevgeny Adamov, Atomic Energy Minister
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
As far as the (Kursk) nuclear reactors are concerned, the submarine should not be lifted. I don't refer to those dead and other elements related to the submarine, like weapons. The interest of designers and researchers is natural: they want to see more attentively and analyse. But as far as the nuclear power unit is concerned, there are no factors that would require lifting it to the surface.

World's first NPP - way to RBMK type reactors
Obninsk (1954) was the first grid-connected nuclear power plant in the world,i.e. the first nuclear reactor that produced electricity industrially.
The technology perfected in the Obninsk pilot plant was later employed on a much larger scale in the RBMK reactors.

Kalinin nuclear power plant, Russia
With rising demand for energy, especially electricity, the world is in need of new resources. Fossil fuels produce harmful carbon emissions and green technology .
LÜTFEN KANALIMIZA ABONE OLARAK BİZE DESTEK OLUN! On this months show, we hit the road with a new navigation system that puts augmented reality in .
STG implements the project for the construction of the power distribution facilities of the Kalinin nuclear power plant.
In the 1940s, the USSR created 44 secret cities dedicated to make nuclear weaponry. Where are these cities and whats life like there today? More of Ksenia .
Facts about Russia: 4 facts about unique Russian inventions
1. King-tank
King-tank (also known , the Bat, the Tank of Lebedenco) - armored combat mobile device developed by engineer Nikolay Lebedenco in Russia in 1914-1915. This is actually a wheeled combat vehicle. Construction and testing of the tank were carried out in 1915. According to tests it was concluded that the tank had been unsuitable to be used in combat conditions. And the project was closed. Built item was dismantled for scrap.
2. Sport weight
In the English language, there is a word girya, which means the weight. The word was borrowed from the Russian language. All modern sport weights originated from the weights that were created in Russia in the early 1700s. Originally, the weights were used for weighing grain. Farmers began to use weights as a power tool at festivals and fairs. And weights became widely used as sports equipment only in the XX century.
3. Nuclear power plant
In 1948, the father of the Soviet atomic bomb, Igor Kurchatov initiated the establishment of the world's first nuclear power plant. In May 1950, near the village Obninsk of Kaluga region, work began to build the world's first nuclear power plant. The world's first commercial nuclear power with the capacity of 5 MW was launched on the 27 June 1954 in the USSR, in the city of Obninsk. Currently, 31 countries use nuclear power. Totally 388 nuclear power reactors with a total capacity of 333 GW operate in the world.
4 Gorodki
Gorodki - it is a Russian folk sports game. In a game of skittles is necessary to determine the distance to knock out throw bits (of the city) - the figures, which are made up of five wooden cylinders (chocks).

'Russia to have most advanced nuclear reactor ever developed'
Russia must modernise its economy in the next few years, regardless of who is in charge. President Medvedev's been outlining the country's direction at the St. Petersburg Forum of top business leaders. He also warns that the government's large role in the economy, along with corruption, threaten development and must be tackled. RT's Anissa Naouai is in St. Petersburg.

Accident at nuclear power plant in Central Russia. 3 nuclear reactors shut down
Three nuclear units of four have been disconnected at the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in the Tver Region in Central Russia.
Originally, it was reported that only two of the four nuclear power units were disconnected. The public information center of the NPP said that the radiation background was normal. No damage was caused to the equipment at the station either.
News agencies reported that nuclear power units N1 and N2 at the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant were shut down automatically due to a short circuit. EMERCOM later confirmed the information.
Representatives of the Kalinin NPP also said that the nuclear units were to be switched on before July 19, after specialists find out the reasons of the incident. They also said that the fourth power unit was disconnected due to the rupture of the condenser seal of turbine No. 2.
The Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant, built in 1984, is located in the north of the Tver region, 125 km from the city of Tver, on the southern side of Lake Udomlya. The NPP is 330 km far from Moscow and 400 km far from St. Petersburg.
