Construction sites abroad. A molten core catcher for Unit 3 was delivered to the construction site of Egypt’s El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant. The delivery from Russia took six days. The total weight of the cargo amounted to 480 tonnes. The core catcher designed by Russian engineers is part of the passive safety system intended to prevent radioactive substances from being released into the environment in the event of a severe accident. The core catcher is a steel vessel that retains corium in emergencies and prevents its fragments from escaping beyond the reactor containment. Installation of the core catcher at Unit 3 is scheduled for October this year.
