Construction sites. AEM SpetsStal (a steel-making facility of Rosatom’s mechanical engineering division) manufactured a large batch of billets to be processed into the equipment for Unit 1 of Egypt’s El Dabaa NPP. 24 large-size billets weighing over 650 tonnes were shipped to three of Rosatom’s manufacturing sites. They will be used to make primary circuit components, including the reactor pressure vessel, pressurizer, and primary coolant pipes. Another production facility of Rosatom’s mechanical engineering division, PetrozavodskMash, proceeded to manufacture pipes for the reactor island of El Dabaa Unit 1. Workers began cladding the pipes intended for the primary coolant loop. The total weight of the set of pipes will amount to 276 tonnes. Rosatom is building four VVER-1200 power reactors in Egypt.
