Introduction

In the history of mankind has there been scientific developments, more prominent in its consequences than the discovery of uranium fission and mastery of nuclear energy. The man has at its disposal a huge, nor incomparable strength, a new powerful source of energy inherent in the nuclei of atoms.

Energy - it's core. All the benefits of civilization, all material areas of human activity - from laundry to study the moon and Mars - requires energy. And more and more. To date, atomic energy is widely used in many industries. Construct powerful submarines and surface ships with nuclear power plants. With the search for peaceful nuclear energy minerals. The massive use in biology, agriculture, medicine, space exploration found radioactive isotopes.

The aim of work envisages the fulfillment of the following tasks:

- produce energy by processing primary energy into secondary.

- the welfare of citizens; -the development of the economy;

- increase energy security;

-environmental protection.

1.Ukrain npp

Nuclear power of Ukraine dates back to 1977, when the first Chornobyl NPP unit was put into operation. According to the plans of nuclear power development 9 nuclear power plants had to be built in the former USSR at the territory of Ukraine. In the period from 1977 till 1989 it was planned to put into operation 16 units with total capacity of 14800MW at 5 nuclear power plants, which were Zaporizhzhya NPP, Khmelnytsky NPP, Chornobyl NPP and South-Ukraine NPP,Rivne NPP.

1.1Zaporizhzhya npp

Beginning of construction – 1979

Start up of the Unit 1– 1984

Number of power units — 6

Type of reactor — VVER-1000

Total capacity — 6000 MW

NPP Satellite town — Energodar, Zaporizhzhya region

Zaporizhzhya NPP is the largest nuclear power plant not only in Ukraine, but also in Europe. It is situated in the steppe zone of Ukraine, on the bank of the Kakhovka water reservoir. In the period from 1984 to 1987 the four power units had been put into operation.

Unit 5 was started up in 1989 and unit 6 — in 1995.

Zaporizhzhya NPP is a state-of-the-art high-tech enterprise, a powerful electricity supplier in Ukraine.

The plant generates 40-42 billion kWh that accounts for one fifth of the average annual electricity production in Ukraine and for almost 47% of electricity generated at Ukrainian NPPs.

ZNPP is the first among Ukrainian nuclear power plants with VVER type reactors that constructed on-site spent fuel dry storage facility (SFDSF). Commercial operation of this facility started on August 10, 2004.The designed capacity of SFDSF at Zaporizhzhya NPP is 380 casks that will provide for storage of all spent fuel assemblies, which are removed from the reactors during the overall plant service-life. Currently, 80 casks have already been installed on the site. SFDSF of Zaporizhzhya NPP is the first nuclear facility, whose design passed all stages of the review and approval envisaged by the new nuclear legislation of Ukraine.
