FIELD: construction of nuclear power stations. SUBSTANCE: nuclear-reactor power unit, vertical cavity communicating with burial ground provided in its bottom part, tilted shaft joined with vertical cavity and used to provide communication between the latter and nuclear power unit, loading facilities communicating through tilted well with vertical cavity are constructed; provision is made for disconnecting reactor vessel of nuclear power unit from abutting associated structures by means of explosive materials and for its displacement to burial ground as well as for filling cavity with rock and materials absorbing radionuclides and preventing their spreading; nuclear power station is assembled of n separate nuclear power units erected on their respective construction sites and spaced apart at safe distances; tilted shaft running from each power unit is joined with common vertical cavity; tilted shafts and tilted well are joined to vertical cavity at different depths. EFFECT: improved reliability and environmental friendliness of waste disposal and reduced aftereffects of station operation. 7 cl, 1 dwg
