• The unique underground industrial dual- purpose ADE-2 reactor has been operating at the Mining and Chemical Combine (MCC) since 1964. The reactor is known to be a reliable source of heat.

• According to the Agreement signed by the Government of Russian Federation and the Government of the United States of America the reactor must be decommissioned after replacement source starting. December of 2006 is determined as the reactor shutdown date.

• Zheleznogorsk total thermal load, which is covered by MCC sources, is 820 Gcal/h. In 2006 the heating demand is planned to be 1090 Gcal/h.

• The dismissal of about 2500 people is going to result from the reactor shutdown and radiochemical production decommissioning.

Replacement Sources: Options

• ADE-2 reactor Core Conversion mode with no fabrication of weapon-grade plutonium.

• Existent heat stations reconstruction.

• Underground nuclear power plant with two VK 300 type reactors construction.

• Fossil fuel power plant construction.

• There is a need to construct a new general power source to meet growing heat demands of the production plants and the city after reactor shutdown and reduction of heat, generated with costly mazut.

• Investment plan studied four options as replacement sources, they were :

Sosnovoborsk Power Plant, New Underground Nuclear Power Plant, Power Plant of MCC, Boiler Workshops of MCC.

• After strong discussions and considerations Mining and Chemical Combine arrived to the decision to place Zheleznogorsk Power Plant on a site with the unfinished TETs construction near Sosnovoborsk.

• Against the contract with PPNL, draft design for a new Power Plant (TETs) was completed using the existing Sosnovoborsk site with the unfinished construction.

• Mining & Chemical Combine (MCC) considers it necessary to provide the plant overall logistics by the year 2010 with Phase 1 entered in 2006

• Power Plant capacity: – electric power – 234 MWt; – heat power – 2193 + 595 = 861 Gcal/h

– working power supply – 564 Gcal/h

• Indicated power source capacity meets power and heat requirements of Zheleznogorsk city, the development of the city and its productions.

CONCLUSIONS

1. To continue the operation of ADE-2 Reactor at present mode till commission the Power Plant, Phase 1.

2. To start the design of a Coal Power Plant, full development – 2 power units and 5 steam-boilers.

3. Phase execution of the Power Plant construction:

• Phase 1, to replace the reactor’s heat 2002 – 2006 to involve the US funding as a part

• Phase 2, full development 2010 funds of Zheleznogorsk city, MCC,

Minatom RF, and other sources

4. Construction and commission of Power Plant allows to create about 1000 new jobs for MCC personnel released as the result of reactor shutdown.
