Additive tech. Rosatom’s Electric Power Division set up a laboratory for 3D nuclear equipment modeling. Five sections of the laboratory, including 3D pre-print, 3D printing, polishing, assembly, and painting, ensure end-to-end production of equipment models. Three-dimensional 1:10 scale models of key nuclear plant components will be used in nuclear staff training centers and for public education purposes. It is planned to make up to 13 models by the end of the year. These will comprise exact copies of a VVER-1200 reactor, a pressurizer, a primary coolant pump, and other pieces of equipment.
