The lower tier of the inner containment dome of the reactor building has been lifted at Unit 7 of Tianwan NPP Communications Division of Rosatom State Corporation Engineering Division, PUBLISHED 20.05.2023 The lower tier of liner of the inner containment dome of the reactor building has been lifted at Unit 7 of Tianwan NPP being constructed in China with participation of Rosatom's Engineering Division. The large-sized metal structure with diameter of 44 m and weight of 391 t has been installed in its design position on the cylindrical part of the reactor building containment. For this purpose, a crane with the maximum lifting capacity of 2,000 tons has been delivered to the construction site. "Today marks two years from the moment when the heads of the two countries, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, took part via the video conference in the ceremony of the first concrete pouring into the foundation slab of Unit 7 reactor compartment, which manifests the start of construction of the 4th stage of Tianwan NPS. This project is a bright example of successful cooperation between Russia and China. Over several decades, specialists from our countries have been constructing together the most advanced power units of the NPS, improving and optimizing production processes, moving confidently towards the technological sovereignty", noted Alexey Bannik, Vice President for Projects in China and Prospective Projects of Atomstroyexport JSC. At the next stage, it is anticipated to complete installation works on assembly of the top tier of the liner and installation of the required equipment and pipelines with the total weight of 214 tons on it. Upon completion of this stage, a phase of key installation works inside the reactor building will be opened for all parts of the design, including installation of the reactor pressure vessel, steam generators, emergency core cooling system tanks, pressurizer, reactor coolant pumps and other equipment, as well as welding of the main coolant pipeline.

First batch of nuclear fuel was delivered to Akkuyu NPP The leaders of the two countries gave symbolic permission to deliver the first batch. The CARR reactor is open to foreign customers CARR has received more than 40 applications from abroad. |
Hero of the day 
Unit 2 of the Belarusian NPP included the unified energy system of the Republic of Belarus The grid connection at the reactor power of 40% of the nominal one confirms the availability of all its systems and equipment for electricity generation. In the coming days, specialists will increase the reactor power up to 50% and carry out a series of dynamic tests. INTERVIEW
