The scope of supply includes fuel assemblies, absorbing elements of compensating groups, control rods and sleeves of the control and protection system for both reactors of the nuclear-powered ship.
The next stage is the production of nuclear fuel for the icebreakers "Leningrad" and "Stalingrad".
The nuclear icebreaker "Chukotka" of Project 22220 has entered the final stage of preparation for mooring trials. The contract for the construction of the vessel was concluded between FSUE Atomflot (part of SC Rosatom) and the Baltic Shipyard in August 2019.
