	Welcome To Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant
		The thermal power output of one unit is 4800 MW, the electrical power capacity is 1500 MW.
		The Ignalina nuclear power plant, like all the stations with RBMK reactors, has a direct cycle configuration - saturated steam formed in the reactor proper by passing the light water through the reactor core is fed to the turbine at a pressure of 6,5 MPa.
		The Ignalina NPP experts affirm that the available number of the containers will not solve the problem of the spent nuclear fuel, basing on the evaluation that in the case of Unit 1 shutdown at the end of year 2004, and Unit 2 shutdown in year 2010, 350 containers in addition would be required.

	PHASE-OUT DILEMMAS AT LITHUANIA'S NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - Eurasia Daily Monitor
		Ignalina is the only nuclear power plant in the three Baltic states, and Lithuania is among Europe's most nuclear-dependent countries for electricity generation.
		The nuclear plant accounted for 80% of Lithuania's power output, and it made Lithuania into a major exporter of electrical power to neighboring countries.
		Thus, Ignalina's phase-out for safety reasons, to be accompanied by the phase-out of oil-shale-based power generating plants in Estonia for ecological reasons, will increasingly complicate the Baltic energy picture in the years immediately ahead.
