The construction of the power plant was started in 1968, in 1971 the station gave the first current, in 1975 the construction was completely completed. The station was in operation on August 26, 1994 . In early September 1994, during a routine inspection, cracks up to 60 mm long were discovered in the steel shell of the reactor core [2] . The nuclear power plant was finally closed on April 14, 1995 [1] . In 1997, the dismantling of equipment was started, which was completed in 2014 [3] .
