In China, flushing of all safety systems of the reactor plant has begun at power unit No. 7 of the Tianwan NPP. This is one of the most important technological stages before the assembly of the VVER-1200 (water-water power reactor). This was reported by the press service of the Rosatom State Corporation, which is participating in the project.
The flushing operation on the open reactor is necessary for the final cleaning of all pipelines from contamination remaining after installation, checking the operation of pumping units, technological safety systems and normal operation systems.
