Nuclear Power in Russia Briefing Paper # 62 September 2005 • Despite major problems in the 1980s, Russia is now moving steadily forward with plans for much expanded role of nuclear energy. • Efficiency of nuclear generation has increased dramatically over the last decade. • Electrcity demand is rising 3% pa. • Exports are a major policy and economic objective. Russia's first nuclear power plant, and the first in the world to produce electricity, was the 5 MWe Obninsk reactor, in 1954. Russia's first two commercial-scale nuclear power plants started up in 1963-64, then in 1971-73 the first of today's production models were commissioned. By the mid 1980s Russia had 25 power reactors in operation.
