Following modernization of the major equipment of Unit 2 power generation system during the previous outages the upgrading of the cooling towers, which was associated with their inefficient operation under high environmental temperature conditions, has become a critical task. In this regard the project «Upgrading of the ANPP cooling towers» was developed and is being implemented. It was prepared by the «Atomproyect» company, and the expertise of the design estimate documentation was conducted by the «Volios Design Institute» CJSC. The construction activities are being performed by employees of the «M-Group» company and the supervision is carried out by the ANPP relevant specialists.

The necessary deliveries have largely been made, the work on general overhaul and modification of cooling tower No.1 is being implemented, only after its completion it is planned to start the work envisaged for cooling tower No.3.

The upgrading of the cooling towers will significantly increase the electricity production.
