Annual Report: A year of achievements and challenges

In 2023, NEK completed 40 years of operation, obtained all necessary permits for long-term operation, and successfully transferred 592 spent fuel elements to the Spent Fuel Dry Storage (SFDS). Due to an unplanned emergency outage, annual production was lower than planned, and the value of the energy produced by the revised plan was slightly exceeded. At the same time, NEK consistently observed all administrative and environmental restrictions and the high standards of the nuclear industry.

In 2024, the main challenges will be maintaining high operational efficiency, the April outage, the October WANO Peer Review mission, the start of a five-year action plan based on the third Periodic Safety Review, and the preparation and active participation in defending the national report on the assessment of fire safety per the EU Directive on nuclear safety.
