Novovoronezh, Nuclear city in Voronezh Oblast, Russia.
Novovoronezh is a town situated on the Don River, about 55 kilometers south of Voronezh. It features a central nuclear power plant that anchors the town's layout, connecting residential and industrial areas.
The town was founded in 1957 to support nuclear energy development in Russia. The power plant began generating electricity in 1964, marking a significant milestone in Soviet energy engineering.
The residents are mostly nuclear engineers and technicians who have made their homes here and shaped the town's character. This specialized workforce gives the city a distinct identity focused on technical expertise and scientific work.
The power plant is the center of town life and provides employment and district heating for residents. Most facilities are within walking distance or easy reach by local transport since the town has a compact layout.
The town maintains a partnership with Paks, Hungary, which enables regular exchange of experts and knowledge in nuclear energy. This international connection links two nuclear centers across national borders.
