Reactors ageing in the world

To November 2022, in total 427 power reactors are in operation and 56 new reactors are under construction worldwide. The age distribution is presented in Figure. From this amount, 65 VVER reactors are in operation in 12 countries and about 20 VVERs are under construction. In EU countries, 19 VVER units are in operation. The next 12 are in Ukraine. The high level of safe, effective, reliable, and long-term operation (LTO) behind the projected lifetime with lifetime extension up to 60-80 years and without a former general designer is the real and actual challenge for the European nuclear community.



The youngest reactorVVER 440

VVER unit in Mochovce (Slovakia) reached its first criticality on 22nd October 2022. The controlled fission chain reaction is already underway in the reactor, although the reactor power is still very close to zero. The power operation is expected at the beginning of next year. We wish all the best and long-term operation to the 3rd Mochovce reactor!
