The Rivne Nuclear Power Plant (Ukrainian: Рівненська АЕС), also called Rovno[1] is a nuclear power plant in Varash, Rivne Oblast, Ukraine.
The Rivne Nuclear Power Station were the first VVER-400 reactors to be constructed in Ukraine. As the plant was being designed and constructed it was under the name of "West-Ukraine NPP" however during commissioning it was renamed to "Rivne NPPP".
The Regulatory Committee of Ukraine, during a meeting in Varash, adopted а decision оn extending the lifetime of Rivne power units 1 and 2 bу 20 years.[2]
The power station has four reactors with a nameplate capacity of just over 2500 MWe. In 2018 unit 3, after modernization, received a life-extension license extending its operation by 20 years until 2037.[3]
