A transport gateway has been installed at the first power unit of Rooppur NPP – MIR

Transport Gateway Installed at Ruppur NGS Unit 1The assembly of the transport lock of the reactor building of the first power unit of the Rooppur NPP (Rooppur) in Bangladesh, built by Rosatom, has been completed.According to the statement of the engineering division of Rosatom, the transport gateway is the largest equipment in the field of NHS. Loading and unloading of nuclear fuel can be carried out at the facility with a transport lock 12.7 meters long, 10 meters wide and weighing 235 tons. Thus, equipment of the first and second class can be delivered at the construction stage of the NPP. After the NPP is put into operation, fuel simulators will be delivered through the lock, and the reactor will be fully serviced. . Aleksey Deriy said: “Bringing the transport lock to its design position is an important step in completing the construction work on the reactor building.” blocking will be carried out after installation of the block 1 dome. Equipped with two VVER-1200 reactors with a total capacity of 2400 MW, the Rooppur NPP is being built according to the Russian project, 160 km from Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, in accordance with the General Agreement dated December 25, 2015. for the first nuclear power plant of the Novovoronezh NPP in Russia A Russian-designed reactor of the VVER-1200 type, which was successfully implemented at Unit i, was selected. A distinctive feature of this reactor is a modern 3+ generation design that fully meets all international safety requirements (ASE A.Sh. was created in cooperation with St. Petersburg companies). The engineering division ranks first in the world in terms of the portfolio of orders and the number of simultaneously constructed nuclear power plants around the world. About 80% of the department’s revenue comes from foreign projects. The Engineering Department carries out projects for the construction of large-capacity nuclear power plants in Russia and the world. The company offers a wide range of EPC, EP, EPC(M) services, including project management and project activities, and also develops multifaceted technologies for managing complex engineering objects. The unit uses the successful activities of the Russian nuclear industry and advanced innovative technologies.
