November 22, 2013, the following block (В6-1) of ChNPP II Generation Ventilation Stack (VS-2) of 18 tons was dismantled.

Mt. Alexander Plotnikov, Ukrtransbud’s Project Manager of VS-2 dismantling noted that one of the major difficulties in this project was to recruit personnel of appropriate qualification. This difficulty was caused, first of all, by the fact that overhead works were anticipated. Besides, all the activities are carried out within radiation fields and due to this comprehensive medical examination in the Research Centre of Radiation Medicine must be conducted.

Within special area the earlier dismantled blocks are being cut. The fragments are moved to Unit 3 Turbine Hall for temporary storage.

The monitored parameters of radiation conditions do not exceed design-based reference levels.
