August 6, 2019 saw the completion of concrete works for the Unit No. 2 turbine hall foundation slab. The slab structure received 3 782 tonnes of rebars and 23 550 cubic meters of concrete.
As Sergey Lastochkin, the Vice-President of Rooppur NPP construction Project has pointed out, this is an important stage of the construction that will be followed by the works for erection of the walls of Unit No. 2 turbine hall. The specialists employed at the construction site for the first NPP in Bangladesh have commenced the preparations for this period of work.
The Rooppur NPP construction works are conducted according to the schedule.
For reference:
Rooppur NPP with two VVER-1200 reactors and the total capacity of 2400 MW is being constructed under the Russian design, 160 km from Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, in accordance with General Contract dated 25 December 2015. The General Contractor for Rooppur NPP construction is Atomstroyexport (the engineering division of Rosatom).
The Russian design with VVER-1200 reactors that was selected for the first NPP in Bangladesh, was successfully implemented at Unit No 1 of Novovoronezh NPP-2. This is an evolutionary GenIII+ design which fully complies with all international safety requirements. In 2017, the new Russian power unit was named among the three best nuclear power units in the Word by the well-known international magazine POWER (USA). In
Each stage of constructing the Rooppur NPP in Bangladesh is closely monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and by the national regulatory authority.
