The Novovoronezh nuclear power station (Russian: Нововоронежская АЭС [Audio file "Ru-Нововоронежская атомная электростанция.ogg" not found]) is a nuclear power station close to Novovoronezh in Voronezh Oblast, central Russia. The site was vital to the development of the VVER design; every unit built was essentially a prototype of its design. On this site is built the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant II.

In 2002 Novovoronezh-3 was modernised and life extended, including new safety systems.[1]

In 2010 Novovoronezh-5 was shut down for modernization to extend its operating life for an additional 25 years, the first VVER-1000 to undergo such an operating life extension. The works include the modernization of management, protection and emergency systems, and improvement of security and radiation safety systems.[2]
