Engineering Division of State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom organized an online seminar for potential suppliers. The seminar was dedicated to specific features of contract conclusion and procurement within the framework of the project for construction of Yakutia small nuclear power plant (SNPP) in Ust-Yansk region of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The event was attended by representatives of Russian companies and individual entrepreneurs who are interested in participation in the project implementation.
During the seminar, the key aspects of future cooperation were discussed: organization of procurement of material and technical resources and equipment, quality requirements for construction and installation works, licensing of equipment, as well as logistical solutions for delivery of materials for SNPP construction. After each block of information, the participants had an opportunity to put questions to the experts, which made it possible for them to work out in detail all the details of the future work.
The SNPP project implemented on the basis of the latest RITM-200 N reactor, will become a driver of energy independence and socio-economic development of the Arctic part of Yakutia. The power plant will ensure stable energy supply to industrial enterprises and social facilities, including the Kyuchus, Deputatskoye, and Tirekhtyakh deposits, as well as the infrastructure projects in Ust-Yansk and Verkhoyansk districts.
“Construction of nuclear power plants is a complicated, large-scale and interesting task. The ambitiousness of our project is emphasized by the fact that its construction takes place in Extreme North, which poses a number of unique challenges for us. I hope that this event will help our suppliers join the project and ensure our successful cooperation during its implementation,” said Sergey Generalov, Director of Yakutia SNPP construction Project.
For information: The design of Yakutia NPP is based on the latest Russian development, the RITM–200N water-cooled nuclear reactor, which is the result of adjustment of the innovative low-power technology of the RITM-200 marine design for ground-based deployment. The design is characterized by compactness, integrated layout and reduced construction period compared to high-power nuclear power plants. The total capacity of the SNPP in Yakutia will be 110 MW (two 55 MW reactors each). The service life of the power plant is 60 years, and fuel will be reloaded every 5-6 years.
