According to the company’s spokesperson, BN-600 power-generating unit of Beloyarskaya nuclear power plant produced the rated output in January 2006. The electricity-generation schedule was complied with.

There weren’t any limit or safety violations of any kind, and the rare gas activity breakthrough in January comprised 0.17% of the upper limit.

The radiation level in the town of Zarechniy and the power plant site was not any bigger than usual and fluctuated between 5.5 and 5 microroentgen per hour, which is believed to be typical of Russia. The corresponding figures for Beloyarskoye reservoir water are 0.16 becquerel per litre, with the figures for head water being 0.074-0.3 becquerel per litre.
