PAO "ZiO-Podolsk" (part of Rosatom's machine-building division — Atomenergomash) has started assembling the RITM-200 reactor vessel for the "Leningrad" nuclear icebreaker, Project 22220. This was reported by the state corporation's press service.
The assembly began with the machining of the reactor vessel's flange.
Machining is the foundation of the entire RITM-200 equipment manufacturing cycle. And now we are observing deep drilling of channels — this is a unique technology that was invented at this enterprise, it is patented.
The "Leningrad" icebreaker's power plant consists of two RITM series reactors. These units are half the weight and significantly more powerful than their Soviet counterparts. This allows for a significant increase in cargo flow along the Northern Sea Route.
RITM-200 reactors have already been installed on the "Arktika", "Sibir", and "Ural" icebreakers, which confirms their high efficiency and reliability.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Rosatom enterprise set a new record in the production of zirconium cladding for nuclear fuel.
