Armenian Nuclear Power Plant

Metsamor, Armenia

The 1569th largest power station in the world

407.5 MW · Capacity

The Armenian Nuclear Power Plant (ANPP) (Haykakan atomayin e'lektrakayan), also known as the Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant, is the only nuclear power plant in the South Caucasus, located 36 kilometers west of Yerevan in Armenia. The ANPP complex consists of two VVER-440 Model V270 nuclear reactors, each capable of generating 407.5 megawatts (MW) of power, for a total of 815 MW. The plant supplied approximately 40 percent of Armenia's electricity in 2015. As with other early VVER-440 plants, and unlike Western pressurized water reactors (PWR), the ANPP lacks a secondary containment building.
