The Rostov NPP: large-scale heating system’s assembly activities are in progress at the 4th power block under construction
The industrial pipelines of the reactor room’s safety systems are being assembled at the Rostov NPP’s 4th power block. The works are held as a part of the technological system’s spill over an open reactor, which is planned for late 2016.
The spill stage pre-supposes that the pipelines installed and the reactor unit’s equipment will be purified using chemically demineralized water.
“A spill over an open reactor marks the countdown to the power block’s physical start-up”, Sergey Olontsev, the Senior Vice President of the ASE Group’s Russian project management, said. “Taking into account the importance of this upcoming event, we are already getting ready for it. Besides, we are preparing for the trial phase and the assembled equipment tests”.
As of now, the machinery hall’s and the reactor room’s crane have been launched operational. The pre-commissioning activities have been completed to apply the auxiliary voltage to the 6-kilowatt sections, with the 0.4-kilowatt sections being 90% powered. The AO Atomtechenergo is working on the pre-commissioning activities over the refueling machine and the electric motor’s and the motor-operated valves’ idling. The reserve diesel power plant’s units are being pre-commissioned, too.
“We are actively working on assembling the heating systems. It is important that we do understand that the most crucial operation – the technological systems’ spill over an open reactor – has to be completed timely”, Andrey Salnikov, the Rostov NPP’s director.

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.
