en.Wedoany.com Reported - Rusatom Automated Control Systems (RASU), a subsidiary of Rosatom, has completed the delivery of the full suite of Automated Process Control Systems (APCS) for Unit 1 of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant in Bangladesh.

The system comprises 22 subsystems for automated process control and radiation monitoring, which have now been installed on site and are entering the pre-commissioning preparation phase. This "electronic brain" will be responsible for monitoring equipment operation, grid power output, and technological processes throughout the commissioning and subsequent operational lifecycle of the VVER-1200 unit.

RASU General Director Gleb Murashov revealed that several technical improvements have been implemented in this delivery. Notably, the automated radiation monitoring system features a compact desktop design for the first time, a first-of-its-kind implementation for such systems. The system's deployment signifies that Unit 1 of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant is now ready for operation in terms of digital control and safety monitoring, laying a critical foundation for the subsequent reactor physics startup and grid connection.

The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, located 160 kilometers west of Dhaka, is Bangladesh's first nuclear power plant. It adopts the Russian VVER-1200 Generation III+ design with a total installed capacity of 2,400 megawatts. This reactor model has proven its high efficiency and reliability in Russia, Belarus, and other locations. The successful delivery of this automated control system marks a significant milestone for Rosatom on the "critical path" of overseas nuclear power construction and provides a standardized delivery template for subsequent projects adopting similar technology, such as those in Egypt and Turkey.
