Hotline of power engineering specialists:
From July 3 to 15 August, 23 students of the Lipetsk State Technical University and the Zadonsk Polytechnic College worked at facilities of the branch. Before starting to work, the young people received safety briefings, learned the rules of labour protection and, being fully staffed with necessary materials, tools and overalls, received permits to work with power equipment.

"The tour to NV NPP is a unique opportunity to get to know the nuclear power industry. We usually get the bulk of theoretical information in this field in higher education institutions, but personally attend an enterprise of this importance, and personally observe the work of power engineers at nuclear power plants - this is a completely different level! Impressions of the trip were the most positive!" commented a participant of the students’ energy crew "12 kW of the youth" Alexander Nezhumira.
