The Belarusian-2 nuclear power plant began trial operation on 31 May, a stage which will see reactor output increased to its maximum level, the operator said in a statement.
The Belarusian nuclear power station said power levels will be increased from the current 50% of full capacity to 100% and will be coupled with a wide range of technical, equipment, and operating testing, including a brief disconnect from the national power grid.
The official Belta news agency quoted a ministry of energy official as saying that the Belarusian-2 reactor output level was in the process of being raised to 75%, with a total of more than 200 tests scheduled.
