Inner containment dome installed at Rooppur N-power plant

The second phase of the ambitious Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) project is gaining momentum fast, reports UNB.
Inner containment (IC) dome metal structures have been installed in the reactor building of Power Unit 2 of the plant recently, according to Rosatom.
According to Rosatom, the Russian contractor of the plant, the upper portion of the dome -- 35.7 m in diameter and weighing 194 tonnes -- was placed in its design position at an elevation of 51.7 m. And the construction height has now reached 60.5 m.
"IC dome installation is one of the 2022 milestones. We performed similar works at Power Unit 1 last year. Thanks to that, this time the dome pre-assembling activities required only 151 days, which is less than 56 days," said Alexey Deriy, director of the Rooppur NPP Construction Project.
