Rostov NPP: fire-fighting system monitors of the machine room have been tested at power unit No 4 under construction
As a part of the commissioning works at Rostov NPP power unit No 4 the fire monitors that wet down the machine room roof trusses have been tested in the turbine house. The turbine house specialists of Phase II of Rostov NPP, who supervise the construction and assembly works in the turbine house of power unit No 4, explain that this is an important step of the fire-fighting system testing.
“This is one of the most important fire-fighting systems at the turbine house. During the test all of 12 fire monitors have been tested for performance. The tests were successful; it was found that all the monitors were capable of being freely circulated; fire streams washed the entire roof of the turbine house. This operation was carried out within the framework of preparatory activities before the oil acceptance into the turbine house”, the Deputy Head of the Turbine Department of Phase II of Rostov NPP Evgeniy Ziyatdinov explains the essence of the operations.
The test that lasted only ten minutes had been preceded by a voluminous and careful preparatory work. Electrical equipment – pump motors, electric valve actuators, unsealed equipment, turbine bearing assemblies, power generator – had been covered. The turbine house had been cut from the electricity supply; welding net, the turbine house lighting and travelling crane electrics had been turned off. Also within the framework of preparatory activities the turbine house travelling cranes had been set at the proper locations. The specialists of the general contractor, Atomtekhenergo personnel and Rostov NPP operational personnel participated in the tests.
The power block No. 4 is planned to be launched in 2017.
The Rostov NPP is an affiliate company for Rosenergoatom Concern OJSC. The plant is based at the Tsymlianskoe reservoir shore 13.5 km away from Volgodonsk. The NPP operates VVER-1000 reactors with the installed capacity of 1000 megawatts. The power block No.1 commenced commercial operations in 2001, with the second and the third power blocks to follow in 2010 and on September 17, 2015, respectively. The power block No. 4 is currently under construction.
