In the today’s morning hours, the fuel loading into the production Unit 1 reactor has been completed. All 163 fuel assemblies (out of which 91 modernized are used) are placed in the reactor core, where they will work for the next annual campaign. Subsequently, an inspection of the reactor core loading correctness has been performed by the officers of the State Office for the Nuclear Safety.
