The Novovoronezh nuclear power station (Russian: Нововоронежская АЭС [pronunciation]) is a nuclear power station close to Novovoronezh in Voronezh Oblast, central Russia. The power station was vital to the development of the VVER design: every unit built was essentially a prototype of its design. On this site is built the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant II.
