Kalinin Nuclear Power Station (Russian: Калининская АЭС) is located on the shore of Lake Udomlya in Tver Oblast, Russia. This lake is in the town of Udomlya, about 200 kilometers (120 miles) from Moscow.
Kalinin Nuclear Power Station has 4 reactors, each generating a net capacity of 950MW, with an installed capacity of 3,800 MW. Its net annual electricity output is about 20,106GWh.
The huge cooling tower of this power station is a local landmark. These 96 concrete modules are giants with a height of 150m (490 ft). Most of the electricity in the Tver region is supplied by Kalinin, which also caters to Saint Petersburg, Moscow and Vladimir.
According to the results of the annual contest, the plant became Russia’s Best NPP in 2002. In 2012, the Kalinin NPP shared the second place in the contest for the Best Nuclear Power Plants of the Year with the Smolensk NPP.
The Kalinin NPP experts won the 17th All-Russian Contest for Engineer of Year 2016.
The earliest likely reactor of this nuclear power plant shutdown will be in 2025, with the final unit going offline in 2041.
