Rosatom has sent a VVER-1000 reactor vessel to India for the sixth power unit of the Kudankulam NPP, the state corporation's press service reported.
The equipment weighs 300 tons. It was manufactured at the Atommash plant.
It was transported by special road transport to the factory pier, where it was loaded onto a river vessel and brought to the seaport of Novorossiysk. Then, in the port, the reactor vessel was moved into the hold of a sea vessel, which will travel 11,000 km to India.
The construction of four new power units based on the Russian project is ongoing at the Kudankulam NPP in India. The station's design, construction, and equipment supply are carried out by divisions of the Engineering Division of Rosatom State Corporation.
