In Nov 2006 the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) produced 1,305.4mln KW/h of electricity

The monthly production plan of the Federal Tariff Service of Russia was fulfilled by 105.76%.

In Nov 2006 the output was 200.2mln KW/h bigger than in Nov 2005.

The units #3, 4 and 5 operated at planned rate.

The plant ratio made up 98.86% (with the planned index being 94.06%).

No safety conditions and limits violated.

The radiation effects of the Novovoronezh NPP on the environment were within admissible control limits:

Index	Neutral radioactive gases	Nuclide iodine — 131
Monthly emission, in % of control levels	3,1 %	0,3%

The average value of the radiation background in the populated areas 30 km away from the Novovoronezh NPP complied with the natural radiation background for the Central European Region of Russia – 8–25 microroentgen/hour, which is confirmed by Table 2.
