MOSCOW, 02 January (RIA Novosti).

The fast breeder reactor BN-800 type nuclear power plant Beloyarskaya is loaded with nuclear fuel. The reactor, the first of its kind, is a more powerful development of the fast breeder reactor BN-600, which in the nuclear power plant in the Urals has been in operation for years.

The loading of nuclear fuel has begun, the Russian nuclear power plant operators RosEnergoAtom announced on Sunday with RIA Novosti. According to the director of the nuclear power plants Beloyarskaya Mikhail Bakanow the new reactor will be ramped after extensive tests nor 2014. By charging the reactor with first nuclear fuel "a psychological line is exceeded, after which the new reactor begins to live"'ll commented security manager Valeri Schamanski.

The AKW Beloyarskaya not far from Yekaterinburg was gone in 1964 as the first nuclear power plant with reactors of different types to the grid. The first two thermal reactors, the AMB-100 and AMB-200 have already been decommissioned. The operating time of the third facility - with the fast breeder reactor BN-600 type - expired in early 2010, but was extended after a test.

The BN-600 reactor with a capacity of 600 MW, was built in 1980 and is now the only industrialized reactor in the world, used to fast fission neutrons. The successor BN-800 has a capacity of 800 MW. In the future, be used as fuel in the reactors of this type of nuclear waste and weapons-grade plutonium.
