State nuclear corporation Rosatom said the mission had been carried out by a team from WANO’s Moscow Centre.
Rosatom said WANO representatives had monitored operators practicing various modes of operation of the plant on a full-scale simulator. They also analysed design and technological documentation and held interviews with operational personnel.
A WANO Moscow Centre spokesman was quoted by Rosatom as saying the technical support mission is an assessment of the operational readiness of the power unit.
Leningrad 2-2 is a Generation III+ VVER-1200 nuclear unit with a net design power capacity of 1,085 MW and a gross capacity of 1,199 MW. Construction began in April 2010.
The existing Leningrad nuclear station, Leningrad 1, has three commercially operating RMBK-1000 units and a permanently shut-down RBMK unit. Leningrad 2 will have four VVER-1200 units.
