Nuclear Thermal Power Plant

Nuclear heat and power plant - a nuclear power plant designed to produce electrical energy and heat in the form of steam and hot water.

Currently, in Russia there is only one nuclear thermal power station - the Bilibino NPP . ^[1] In the early 2000s, it was planned to create a nuclear heat and power plant in Rikasikha (Primorsky district of the Arkhangelsk region) to provide heat and electricity to Arkhangelsk , Severodvinsk and Novodvinsk . ^{[2] [3]} , but these plans did not materialize.

In the long term, nuclear heat sources should take a leading place in the heat and electrification of large cities located in the northern regions. ^[four]

In addition to specialized nuclear power plants, some nuclear power plants can play a role in heat supply. For example, the Leningrad NPP and the Beloyarsk NPP, in addition to generating electricity, also supply nearby settlements with low-grade heat and hot water. ^{[5] [6]}
