32 pipeline joints, over 150 meters long, have been connected

Heat is dissipated through natural air circulation

Tests lasted about six hours and confirmed the system's readiness for the next stages of commissioning

About two thousand tests need to be carried out to start test generation

Four units with 6500 kW electric motors are placed at different levels to protect against external influences

163 dummy fuel assemblies were manufactured in Novosibirsk and do not contain nuclear materials

The dome of the structure, assembled over 4 months, consists of 15 special steel mounting sections

Rosatom has begun cold hydraulic tests of the reactor before commissioning operations

Joints must withstand extreme temperature and pressure parameters up to 160 atmospheres

Preparation for hot and cold testing has reached one of the final stages before the physical launch of the power unit

The last set of four steam generators manufactured by Atommash plant has been delivered to the station
