2021-04-07 17:15:00 Atommash shipped VVER-TOI - new type of nuclear reactor for the first unit of Kursk NPP-2

“Creation of any new high-tech product, especially new generation reactor, is always non-trivial task. On the one hand, in the case of VVER-TOI and equipment for it, basic design decisions are already well known and have been worked out by us in practice, in production. On the other hand, in nuclear engineering, any changes in manufacturing of new product cause whole series of decisions for adapting technological process. And these are rather lengthy and complex processes. A lot depends on effectiveness of this task. At the moment, we have moved forward quite successfully" - said Igor Kotov, General Director of JSC “AEM-Technology”.

During a two-day visit to Petrozavodskmash the expert got an insight into the manufacturing procedure of the main coolant pipeline (MCP), specimen testing operations at the Main Factory Laboratory (MFL), the system of tool keeping within the tool storage area, activities connected with an increase of the operational factor of ARIES milling and boring facility, logistic processes as well as the structure of the information centre.

2021-03-31 12:48:00 Petrozavodskmash completed cladding of pipe blanks for Tianwan NPS Unit 7

An anticorrosive layer has been applied to the internal surface of the pipes by electroslag cladding. The average thickness of the clad layer is 6mm.  A corrosion resistant layer has been applied to 36 pipe blanks. Some of them are to be sent for bending to make sharply-bent branches for the RCP. Others are left straight. Later on sixteen RCP pipe spools for Tianwan NPS Unit 7 will be assembled from the straight and bent pipe blanks.

2021-03-25 14:42:00 Hydraulic tests performed at Atommash have confirmed the tightness of the second nuclear reactor for the Republic of Bangladesh

The hydraulic tests were carried out in a three-level underground caisson test bench. To install the reactor pressure vessel in the design position, a supporting ring was first installed in the test bench, and then a VVER-1200 reactor pressure vessel was placed on it. The reactor pressure vessel with height of 11 meters was lowered into the caisson with high precision and closed with a process cover.

2021-03-24 21:27:00 Atommash has started manufacturing the Passive Core Flooding Systems for the first Power Unit of the "Akkuyu" NPP (Turkey)

Atommash will manufacture the Passive Core Flooding System Tanks for Power Units No.1 and No.3 of the "Akkuyu" NPP under construction. Some of the blanks were already subjected to the incoming inspection, the bottoms and shells are being machined. On turning-boring machines, edges are cut for circumferential welds, on horizontal boring machining centers; work is carried out with holes and nozzles. Preparation for penetrant test is performed.

2021-03-18 15:20:00 Petrozavodskmash started manufacturing pump sets for Tianwan NPS

Petrozavodskmash employees have performed fit-up of the first guide vanes for RCPS housings of Tianwan NPS. Therewith guiding blades were installed as per the requirements of the design documentation in strict compliance with the position tolerances. It is correct positioning of these components that ensures smooth, vibration-free performance of a pump set during operation.

2021-03-15 00:56:00 Atommash started to manufacture Reactor for Unit No.3 for “Akkuyu” NPP

Director General of AEM-technology Igor Kotov: “Equipment for the first in Turkey NPP “Akkuyu” is one of the main high-priority purposes in our portfolio of orders. All main stages of equipment manufacture are thoroughly controlled by Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NDK) of Republic of Turkey that definitely imposes special responsibility on us.
