Specialists from Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Station will take part in the construction of power generating units with fast neutron reactors in China. The authorities of the Celestial Empire are planning to build two power generating units BN-800 with the new generation reactors made in Russia.

Nikolay Oshkanov, the Advisor to the Director General of the Rosenergoatom Corporation, said that the first experimental reactor has been installed in 409 kilometres from Peking by the joint effort of specialists from Russia and the Chinese National Nuclear Company (CNNC). India is showing considerable interest to the power generating units BN-800 as well; this country is planning to commission 275 million kilowatt of generating capacity within its territory.

In order to raise the commercial attraction to the Russian power generating units Rosenegroatom is prepared to involve foreign specialists in the creation of the BN-1200 power generating unit. The project worth 5.5 billion roubles for this unit is planned to be developed by 2017.

Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Station boasts the only industrial power generating unit in the world that runs on fast neutrons - BN-600. It is planned to start up the new BN-800 unit at the station in 2013. Moreover, in the future Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Station may become the site to use BN-1200.
