Construction of the inner containment of the reactor building begins at the Leningrad NPP-2

24 metal structures with a total weight of 156 tons will be produced for the lower tier

Rosatom has started manufacturing the sealing lining of the inner containment (IC) of the reactor building of the third unit of the Leningrad NPP. This was reported by the press service of the state corporation.

In the near future, a special slipway will be installed next to the nuclear island, on which all the elements of the containment will be assembled and supplemented with sealed penetrations, elements of safety systems, ventilation, maintenance platforms, etc. Enlarged assembly on the slipway will ensure high quality of the assembled structures, reduce labor costs and shorten the construction time of the power unit.
Evgeny Milushkin, Head of the Capital Construction Department of the Leningrad NPP-2

Specialists will manufacture 24 metal structures with a total weight of 156 tons. The lower tier of the IC will be assembled from them.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the "machine vision" system began to monitor the work of employees of the Leningrad NPP.
