At the hearing on 10 April the decision was announced, according to which the sum was enforced by action from JSC "Metrostroy" in favor of JSC "CONCERN TITAN-2".
The total amount stated was 160 294 223,89 rubles. It is a penalty for the price of unfulfilled work stages at the New Power Units construction site of the Leningrad nuclear power station. The company "Metrostroy” did not recognize the claim and stated that reduction of the penalty was required.
In addition, still in force is the decision of the court on collecting from JSC "Metrostroy" the unjust enrichment in the amount of 249 931 216 rubles, as well as 200 000 rubles state duty related to the case.
This decision is based on the fact that according to the contract for the complex set of commissioning work for the new power units of the Leningrad nuclear power station, OAO "Metrostroy” and JSC "CONCERN TITAN-2" agreed on estimated limits of reimbursement of travelling expenses and transportation of the workers. Thus, JSC "CONCERN TITAN-2" not only reimbursed expenses of JSC "Metrostroy" within the specified limits, but made an overpayment, in consequence of which an unjust enrichment was formed on the side of "Metrostroy”, which is subject to be returned to the JSC "CONCERN TITAN-2".

This operation will take 72 days.
Cold phase includes hydraulic tests to verify tightness and strength of reactor plant components, circulation flushing of the primary and secondary circuits, their water chemistry adjustment, verification of design values of thermohydraulic, strength, vibration, dynamic characteristics of the reactor plant and of the primary circuit equipment.
As for the hot run, this is performed in order to confirm operability of the main and auxiliary equipment and reactor plant systems when they are already in the design, operating modes. During this sub-phase experts shall run the four reactor coolant pump sets for 100 hours at hot parameters (temperature of +260°С minimum), blow down main steam lines with their own steam, conduct safety systems integrated tests, check the auxiliary power supply system, reactor plant control and protection systems.
Vladimir Pereguda, Leningrad NPP director:
- We have come to the power unit commissioning phase. According to the Russian and international NPP safety norms and rules it is required to verify high quality of installation operations applied when erecting the equipment and process systems, and confirm that the Power Unit will be operating in full compliance with the design. For this end, more than one hundred of pre-start tests are to be performed during the cold and hot run for the reactor plant equipment and systems.
