Rivne nuclear power plant

Rivne nuclear power plant in context

By gross operating capacity Rivne nuclear power plant is the 3rd largest of 4 operating nuclear sites in Ukraine, holding 20% of the country's operating capacity, and ranks 44th of 172 worldwide.

Its operating units started up between 1981 and 2006; the median unit is 41.5 years old, older than the median of 39.0 in Ukraine.

The 4 units with both construction and grid dates on record took 6.9 to 18.2 years (median 7.8) from construction start to grid connection; the median across all reactors connected in the 1980s is 7.3 years.

The nearest other tracked nuclear sites are Khmelnitski nuclear power plant (125 km).

2 operating units are rated differently now from their design net capacities: Unit 1 +5.5% and Unit 2 -2.1%.

Build time by unit

Nearest tracked nuclear sites

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.
