The reactor vessel for the 7th power unit of the Tianwan NPP was manufactured in Volgodonsk, Rostov region of Russia, at Atommash, which is part of the Rosatom corporation. The reactor vessel, as well as other equipment for this project – four steam generators, three MCP vessels and one bubbler – were sent to China from the port of St. Petersburg in June and arrived at the international port of loading. Lianyungang two months later. The cargo was delivered to the same dock as the Tianwan NPP. Alexei Bannik, Vice President of Atomstroyexport for projects in China, told Sputnik that upon arrival, the VVER-1200 reactor vessel weighing 334.2 tons and 12 meters long, like other equipment , it passes a mandatory procedure: input control. Specialists from the Chinese customer Atomstroyexport, which is also part of Rosatom and the manufacturer, will carefully study Russian products. After the positive conclusion of both parties, preparations for the installation of equipment in the reactor building will begin. The installation of the dome of the reactor building of the 7th power unit of the Tianwan NPP has been completed. Previously, a mast crane was installed and assembled inside the building. The Russian side hopes that this year the reactor vessel of the 7th power unit will be in the design position, after which the installation of the rest of the equipment and systems in the building will begin, said Alexei Bannik. vessel installation process. First, the builders will use a crane to lift it up to the reactor building, transport it inside through the transport lock, and then install it in the building with the help of a polar crane. This production process requires the highest skill and precision on the part of the installers. According to contractual obligations, Unit 7 should produce the first kilowatt of electricity in 2026. Parallel to the Tianwan NPP project, another Russian-based Xudapu nuclear power plant project was implemented in China. At the end of July, the dome of the reactor building was installed at the third block of this station. Already in the fall, the Russian side is expecting the shipment of the reactor pressure vessel to the construction site. The ceremony of sending a giant nuclear reactor vessel and a set of steam generators for this project took place in Volgodonsk, in the production center with. plant Atommash, last month. The shipment of the next two power units from the Tianwan and Xudapu NPPs will take place in 2024, Igor Kotov, General Director of the Russian consortium Atomenergomash, said during the equipment shipment ceremony. According to him, the production of equipment for four power units in China is one of the key projects for the development of a strategic partnership in the energy sector between Russia and China, which is under the personal control of the company’s CEO Alexei Likhachev. State Corporation Rosatom The Xudapu NPP is located in the Chinese province of Liaoning. Units 3 and 4 are being built according to a Russian project and meet all modern IAEA safety requirements. The object is designed and built by the State Corporation Rosatom. The laying ceremony for the new power units of the Xudapu NPP took place in May 2021. Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping took part in the ceremony via videoconference. Mutually beneficial cooperation with friendly countries. Important projects continue to be implemented in the energy sector. Rosatom’s work on projects in China is an example of a constructive partnership that opens up new prospects for low-carbon generation.
