“The installation of steam generators is an important stage in the creation of the reactor primary circuit system. It opens up a possibility to start the installation of the reactor vessel of the first power unit in the nearest future, and in the prospect – the installation of the main coolant pipeline,” said Oleg Shperle, ASE JSC Vice President, Director for Kursk NPP Construction Project.
For reference:
The steam generator is a heat exchanger with a length of 15 meters and a weight of 355 tons. It is designed to produce steam supplied to a turbo generator to convert thermal power into electric power.
