en.Wedoany.com Reported - The reactor pressure vessel and steam generators for Unit 4 of Turkey's Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, built by Rosatom, have arrived on-site. According to a company statement, the four steam generators produced for Unit 4 were safely transported to a temporary storage area using self-propelled modular transporters, marking a significant milestone in the construction of the Akkuyu NPP.

These steam generators were manufactured at the Atommash plant in Volgodonsk, which is part of Rosatom's mechanical engineering division. The equipment was shipped to Turkey via a sea voyage of approximately 3,000 kilometers. Steam generators are among the equipment with the longest production cycles, taking about two years from manufacturing to delivery. Each production stage undergoes comprehensive quality control, and the equipment must pass hydraulic and vacuum tests before leaving the factory. Passing these tests confirms that the equipment can operate safely and reliably for at least 60 years.

To date, Rosatom engineers and production teams have manufactured over 7,000 tons of reactor equipment for the four units of the Akkuyu NPP, including four reactor pressure vessels and 16 steam generators, all key components of the new-generation VVER-1200 reactor technology.

Sergei Butkikh, General Director of Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant Joint Stock Company, stated that steam generators are a vital part of the reactor facility. The thermal energy generated by the reactor is transferred through this equipment to the secondary circuit for electricity generation. The arrival of equipment for Unit 4 on-site demonstrates the stable operation of the project's production and logistics chain. Equipment required for the assembly phase will continue to be delivered according to construction readiness, and the construction and assembly work for all facilities of the nuclear power plant is proceeding as planned.
