Mr Putin was informed about the standards of the plant's performance-in particular, its capacity factor, which approaches 80%. "This is the best achievement since the Soviet years," he commented.

As he examined the accident statistics of Russian and foreign nuclear power plants, Mr Putin noticed that other countries' rate exceeded that of Russia twofold.

The Prime Minister showed his high appreciation for the promptness of construction at the plant.
