Rooppur NPP: Support truss installed in Unit-2 reactor building
Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant engineering touches another milestone with installing support truss was first installed found in the Reactor Construction of Unit 2 recently.
The assist truss is one of the most important factors of the reactor pit equipment in fact it is built to reliably hold the reactor vessel in position and protect in the event of any adverse situation including earthquake.
The truss is a welded metal structure, comprising radial beams. The support truss is designed to resist thermal and radiation exposure over an interval of 60 years-entire lifetime of the reactor.
At the next stage the reactor pit will be concreted and the thrust truss will be installed.
“Installation of the support truss is probably the milestones of 2020. It had been implemented 16 days before schedule. Building of the first and second units at the Rooppur NPP is normally running according to schedule,” said Sergey Lastochkin, Vice President of Atomstroyexport and Director of the Rooppur NPP Building Project.
“Development of the Rooppur NPP is carried out in compliance with strict sanitary and epidemiological safety precautions. Remote thermal checking measure has been presented, not merely at the access points to the site, but also at the entrances to workplace buildings and the canteen. Distinctive washing and disinfecting of all business office rooms and vehicles is usually completed, employees are being given masks, gloves and sanitizers. Field control of personnel by doctors is normally conducted at building facilities,” Sergey Lastochkin added.
Atomstroyexport (ASE), the engineering division of Russia’s point out atomic strength corporation implementing the Rooppur NPP construction as the General Contractor. RNPP could have two vitality units, each of just one 1,200 MW potential. Russian era 3+ VVER 1200 reactors will be installed in the project.
