Construction sites. A molten core catcher (melt trap) for Unit 4 was delivered to the construction site of Egypt’s El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant. The ship carrying the core catcher components left the Russian port of Novorossiysk in October to deliver them to Egypt ahead of schedule. “We installed melt traps at Units 1 and 2 in 2023, and at Unit 3 in 2024. If we manage to install the trap at Unit 4 this year, this will prove our process is resilient,” said Alexey Kononenko, Vice President of ASE and Director of El Dabaa Construction Project. Rosatom is simultaneously building four power units with VVER-1200 reactors in Egypt.
