The first tier of inner containment will be installed in four stages.
On March 8, specialists from Rosatom Engineering Division (ASE) started to install the first tier of inner containment of the reactor building at Unit 1 of El-Dabaa NPP in the Arab Republic of Egypt.
The first tier of inner containment consists of 12 leaf-type segments, each weighing from 60 to 80 tons. The first tier of inner containment will be installed in four stages. On March 8, the specialists from ASE with cooperation of the engineers from NPPA installed the first three leaf-type segments. The works were preceded by concreting of the lower foundation plate.
“Commencement of the inner containment installation is one of the milestones scheduled in 2024 for El-Dabaa NPP construction project and a clear evidence of the rapid progress of the construction works in our first nuclear power plant project in Africa. Implementation of these important works are a result of the coordinated teamwork between ASE and NPPA,” noted Alexey Kononenko, ASE JSC Vice President – Director for the El-Dabaa NPP Construction Project.
