Russian nuclear scientists have completed the first stage of concreting the foundation for the control building at the construction site of power unit No. 7 of the Leningrad NPP. This was reported by the press service of Rosenergoatom.
The builders have completed the concreting of the first of two sections of the foundation slab of the control building — one of the seven facilities that make up the so-called "nuclear island".
According to Konstantin Khudyakov, Director of the Leningrad NPP facilities program at TITAN-2 CONCERN JSC, 37 mixers were used to deliver concrete to the site. The concrete was laid using 4 truck-mounted concrete pumps. More than 700 tons of reinforcement were laid in the foundation slab of the building.
Rosenergoatom explained that the requirements for the foundation of the control building are as strict as those for the reactor building. The facility must be earthquake-resistant.
