Russian heavy machine-building company Atommash said yesterday it had completed production of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) for the Ostrovets nuclear power plant in Belarus. It is the first RPV manufactured at Atommash\u2019s production site after a nearly 30-year hiatus and the first since it became part of Rosatom, the Russian state nuclear corporation, in 2012.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A ceremony to mark shipment of the RPV to the plant\u2019s construction site was attended by Andrey Nikipelov, general director of Atomenergomash (AEM), Igor Kotov, general director of AEM-Technology, Mikhail Mikhadyuk, deputy energy minister of Belarus, and Mikhail Tikhonov, industry and energy minister of the Rostov District.<\/p>\n

Atommash is part of AEM-Technology, which is a unit of AEM, Rosatom\u2019s power engineering subsidiary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe revival of the Atommash industrial complex was one of Rosatom\u2019s priorities,\u201d Nikipelov said at the ceremony. \u201cWork to upgrade equipment, train personnel and introduce new technologies has been done in the shortest time possible. Specialists from several companies, including Tsniitmash and Zio-Podolsk helped with this work\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tsniitmash, another subsidiary of AEM-Technology, develops steel and welding materials used in reactor casings, steam generators, pressure compensators, hydraulic tanks, primary circulation pumps, stainless steel equipment and other equipment, including turbines and piping for VVER-1000\u00a0and AES-2006\u00a0reactors. Zio-Podolsk, an AEM subsidiary, also manufactures equipment for nuclear power plants, including steam generators.<\/p>\n

Atommash\u2019s completion of the RPV for Belarus confirms that it has \u201ccompletely regained its competence\u201d as a manufacturer of key equipment for nuclear power plants, Nikipelov said. Atommash is the only company in Russia that is able to produce the full set of equipment for a nuclear island, he added, including the reactor vessel and steam generators. Atommash is able to make up to four sets of such equipment per year, he said.<\/p>\n

Atommash is currently working on equipment for the Novovoronezh and Rostov nuclear power plant projects in Russia. It will soon start work on nuclear island equipment for the Akkuyu and Kudankulam plants in Turkey and India, respectively.<\/p>\n

Revived company<\/h4>\n

Atommash was established in 1973\u00a0at Volgodonsk as Russia\u2019s then principal nuclear equipment supplier. It began producing large-scale reactor components in 1977\u00a0including pressure vessels, internal reactor parts, and steam generators. In 1981\u00a0Atommash manufactured the first VVER-1000\u00a0reactor pressure vessel, which was shipped to the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant. Later, its products were supplied to Balakovo, Zaporozhie, Smolensk, Kalinin, Rovno and Khmelnitsky plants. By 1986, Atommash had produced 14\u00a0RPVs, of which five have remained at the factory. It became a joint-stock company in 1994, and after bankruptcy in 1997\u00a0was taken over as a branch of Energomash.<\/p>\n

Atommash supplied some parts for Bushehr in Iran and Tianwan in China, but until securing contracts for VVER-1200\u00a0core melt traps (core-catchers), each 810\u00a0tonnes, its focus was on the chemical, oil and gas industries and it had not handled any nuclear plant work for several years.<\/p>\n

It has capacity to make components up to 1200\u00a0tonnes, and has a major mooring berth accessible from the Volga-Don canal.<\/p>\n

As a result of complex legal proceedings and a fraud conviction of the CEO, in October 2012\u00a0the plant was leased to AEM-Technology.<\/p>\n

Manufacturing of further components, including RPVs and core melt traps, for the Baltic plant was assigned to it from AEM Petrozavodskmash.<\/p>\n

In April 2013\u00a0it was awarded the contract to supply the RPVs, associated equipment and core melt traps for the two 1200\u00a0MWe Ostrovets reactors in western Belarus. It has already supplied two core melt traps for Novovoronezh II. Plant upgrading is under way. It is to make the steam generator set for Rostov 4.<\/p>\n

AEM-Technology was established in 2007\u00a0as a private joint stock company based in St Petersburg and is the leading AEM entity for manufacture of reactor equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
