An analysis of a decade of electricity generation at the Bushehr nuclear power plant

According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, by the end of 1400, Bushehr nuclear power plant as the only nuclear power plant in the country produced 82 billion and 105 million kilowatt hours of electricity.

On This The basis of 47 billion and 441 million kilowatt hours of electricity generated by Bushehr nuclear power plant has been injected into the country’s electricity network and the rest has been spent on activities carried out in the power plant.

In this regard, the amount of electricity generated in 1400, equivalent to 4 billion and 379 million kilowatt hours, an estimated 3 billion and 998 million kilowatt hours of this amount has been sent to the electricity network.

* Selection of activities of Bushehr nuclear power plant in 1400

The study of the activity of this power plant unit in 1400 shows that in the first 3 months of this year, Bushehr nuclear power plant was inactive due to repairs that started on February 7, 2017, with the coordination of Tavanir, and on June 2, 1400 Resumed.

This unit is 1000 MW of electricity generation after 4 months of continuous electricity generation on the 10th October Last year, it was taken out of production again due to the eighth cycle refueling operation, and resumed its activities on January 10 of the same year, and now it provides 1000 MW of the load required by electricity applicants in the country.

Accordingly, since the 12 months of 1400, the Bushehr nuclear power plant has been generating electricity for 6 months, 3 months out of operation due to power plant repairs, and another 3 months has not been able to generate electricity due to fueling issues.

* $ 4.11 billion profit of Bushehr nuclear power plant from fossil fuel saving place

The study of the production of Bushehr nuclear power plant shows that the 10-year operation of this power plant has resulted in saving 82.3 million barrels of crude oil. This is despite the fact that in 1400 alone, we saw savings of 6.9 million barrels of crude oil.

It should be noted that the most savings in crude oil consumption by the Bushehr nuclear power plant dates back to 1396, which provided the use of enriched uranium to save 11.7 million barrels of oil.

Accordingly, over the past decade, if we assume an average oil price of $ 50 per barrel, the Bushehr nuclear power plant generated $ 4 billion and $ 115 million in profits for the country from the export of energy equivalent to crude oil, which provided savings. .

The issue of the positive impact of the Bushehr nuclear power plant does not end with the issue of saving fossil energy consumption, and this power plant has also had a significant impact due to the lack of greenhouse gas emissions.

According to the statistics provided in the development news of the Atomic Power Generation and Development Company, Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in 1400 provided the ground to prevent the release of 2 million and 642 thousand tons of greenhouse gases, while during the decade of operation of the plant to prevent the release of 45 868 thousand tons of greenhouse gas has been created.

* Development of nuclear power plants in developed countries

According to Fars, the map Distribution The geography of nuclear power plants in the world indicates that developed countries such as the United States, Europe and East Asia have the largest number of power plants and use the rich benefits of this clean energy in electricity generation. Meanwhile, the development of this industry in Iran in the last decade has been significantly slow.

“Developed countries are focusing on nuclear energy while warning other countries about it,” said Asgar Sarmast, an energy expert.

“The development of the nuclear power industry in Iran can be considered the key to the energy issue in the country,” the energy expert continued.

Accordingly, considering the importance of diversifying the country’s electricity generation network with a view to the development of clean energy, it seems that more attention is paid to nuclear power plant construction than before, and the government should invest in the construction of power plants to use nuclear energy. To lead.

In the event that the issue of construction of nuclear power plants based on nuclear energy in the country intensifies, the problem of winter power outages will reach a sustainable solution and the country’s electricity network can be relied on with reliable reliability.Note Will encounter.
