In 2022 at the Kursk NPP-2 they plan to build 147 facilities at the same time

The readiness of the Kursk NPP-2 at the beginning of 2022 is 37.49% - a third of the replacement plant has been built, which corresponds to the plans for the construction of a two-unit NPP facility.

Last year, the builders completed the installation of the framework of the tur-bine building. It is 49 meters high. The heating circuit is almost closed. In the re-actor building of the first power unit, the installation of the dome part of the in-ternal containment was completed, which makes it possible to start connecting and starting up the polar crane, assembling the reactor vessel, steam generator, and main circulation pipeline. In 2021, the evaporative cooling tower of the first power unit was significantly extended - 90 meters.

“Last year, work was carried out at 115 facilities at the same time. About 48 bil-lion rubles have been disbursed,” said Andrey Osharin, first deputy director for the construction of new units. – We’ve started this year very actively. There is more work to be done.”

The list of key events for 2022 is currently under approval. At the moment, the list of important tasks at power unit No. 1 includes the installation of a thermal circuit, the commissioning of a circular overhead crane, and the installation of the reactor vessel in the design position. At power unit No. 2 it includes the completion of concreting of the ceilings of the installation of the main circula-tion pumps, installation of ECCS tanks in the design position, completion of concreting of supports for steam generators.

“The fact that the list of key events and state tasks is being specified does not prevent the work from continuing,” Andrey Osharin explained. In 2022, we will begin to implement actions to ensure the physical start-up of the first power unit. We will start construction of more 32 facilities. The plan is to place over 164,000 cubic meters of concrete. The number of personnel will reach 9 thousand people, this is without taking into account the engineering staff.
