China. A 331.7-tonne reactor pressure vessel was installed at China’s Tianwan Unit 8, which is being constructed with input from Rosatom. Manufactured in Russia, the reactor pressure vessel was delivered to the construction site in China in late August. “Installation of a reactor vessel requires high precision. Russian engineers assisted their Chinese colleagues in this technically complex process. After the installation of large-size equipment is finished, specialists from Rosatom’s engineering division will supervise the assembly and commissioning of the reactor systems at Unit 8,” said Alexey Bannik, Vice President for Chinese and Advanced Projects at AtomStroyExport. Currently, China is building four Russian-designed power units with VVER-1200 reactors, two at the Tianwan NPP and two at the Xudabao NPP.
