This amount of electricity would be enough to provide electricity to the whole of Russia for 9.5 months.

This amount of power transmitted to the grid of the country for the period from the date of commissioning of the first unit of Kursk NPP in December 1976.

This figure is second only to power generation of the Leningrad NPP, which lasts longer than Kursk station.
