Rosatom has commenced production of long-lead manufacture equipment for Tianwan NPP Units 7 and 8

17.07.2019
OMZ-SPECIAL STEEL (St.Petersburg) and ENERGOMASHSPETSSTAL (Kramatorsk) have produced the first forgings for reactor vessels of Tianwan NPP Units 7 and 8. The Units are being constructed with technical assistance of ASE (Rosatom State Corporation Engineering Division).

According to Alexey Bannik, Vice President for China projects,  “these events signal the commencement of production of long-lead manufacture equipment within the framework of implementation of General Contract for construction of Tianwan NPP Units 7 and 8 concluded between ASE EC JSC and Suneng Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. (China) in March 2019”.

The pouring of first concrete at Unit 7 is scheduled for May 2021.

For reference:
Tianwan NPP is the largest facility built within the framework the Russian-Chinese economic cooperation. The start-up of the first stage of Tianwan NPP (power units 1, 2) was held in 2007. These first two units generate above 15 billion KW/hour of electric power annually. The com-mercial operation of power unit No.4 of Tianwan NPP is planned for 2019.

For reference:
ASE (Rosatom State Corporation Engineering Division) was established by integration of the leading companies of the industry: ASE EC JSC (Nizhny Novgorod), Atomstroyexport JSC (Moscow), Atomenergoproekt JSC (Moscow) and ATOMPROEKT JSC (St.-Petersburg).
ASE is one of the leaders in the global nuclear power engineering business holding about 30% of the global NPP construction market. Engineering Division carries out its activities in Europe, Middle East and Northern Africa as well as in the Asia-Pacific region.
80% of the portfolio include foreign projects.
The Division implements design and construction projects for high-power NPPs, renders a full range of EPC, EPC(M) services and develops Multi-D technologies for management of complex engineering facilities.

The Engineering Division rests upon the 50-year experience of the Russian nuclear power indus-try and state-of-the-art innovation technologies.
We construct reliable and safe NPPs with 3+Gen VVER reactors that are in line with all inter-national requirements and recommendations.
