The work on this projects is an example of constructive partnership that opens up new prospects for cooperation in the field of peaceful nuclear energy.
On August 14 the reactor vessel and steam generator for Unit 4 of Xudapu NPP were shipped from the production site of Atommash (Mechanical Engineering Division of ROSATOM). The nuclear power plant (NPP) in China is being built according to the latest Russian design. This is the second large shipment of nuclear equipment for Russian-designed NPPs under construction in China this year.
The total weight of the equipment amounts to more than 660 tons. Combined delivery by railway, road, river and sea transport will be used for the transportation of the large-size equipment to the construction site.
“Today, the equipment for 14 units of nuclear power stations under construction according to the Russian design in Russia and abroad is at various stages of manufacturing at the enterprises of the Mechanical Engineering Division. Coordinated work of the machine builders makes it possible to ship the equipment in accordance with contractual terms, and in the future we will be able to increase production output to meet the growing demand for nuclear power generation in the world,” said Igor Kotov, Head of the Mechanical Engineering Division of ROSATOM.
