Akademik Lomonosov nuclear power plant in context

By gross operating capacity Akademik Lomonosov nuclear power plant is the 10th largest of 10 operating nuclear sites in Russia, holding 0% of the country's operating capacity, and ranks 171st of 172 worldwide.

Its operating units started up in 2020; the median unit is 6.0 years old, younger than the median of 37.5 in Russia.

The 2 units with both construction and grid dates on record took 12.7 to 12.7 years (median 12.7) from construction start to grid connection; the median across all reactors connected in the 2010s is 5.9 years.

No other nuclear site with an exact position in this dataset lies within 300 km.

2 operating units are rated differently now from their design net capacities: Unit 1 +6.7% and Unit 2 +6.7%.

Build time by unit

Unit 22007201912.75.9 (2010s)

How these are worked out: ranks use gross operating capacity; ages count from the start-up year on record, as on the age page; build times run from construction start to grid connection, as on the build-times page; ratings are the tracker's net and design net capacity, as on the uprates page. Distances are straight-line between exact positions, so a site with only an approximate position gets none. A unit missing a date or a rating is left out of the figure that needs it.

Elevation is read at the listed coordinates from a 30 m terrain model (ASTER GDEM 30 m). Two independent models differ by a median of 6 m across our plants and by up to about 40 m on steep or coastal ground, and a point on a shoreline can read as sea level. Distance to the water is measured to a generalised 1:10 million coastline, so a few kilometres or less is not resolved. This is context, not a design-basis or flood-risk figure.
