The first steam generator in a set of four has been installed for the Kursk 2-1 nuclear plant under construction in western Russia, developer Atomstroyexport said.

In a pressurised water reactor, the steam generators act as heat exchangers where water carrying heat generated from the nuclear reaction is used to turn demineralised water into steam. They are among the heaviest and largest components on the nuclear island.

Atomstroyexport, a subsidiary of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom, said the Kursk 2-1 project schedule is for the installation of all four steam generators and the reactor pressure vessel before the end of 2022.

The company, a division of Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom, said the testing is one of the most important stages of the hot hydraulic functional tests, including a simulated leak in the primary system. The automatic startup of all four diesel generator sets that form part of the emergency system was also tested.

Russia is constructing and commissioning two VVER-1200 pressurised water reactors at the Belarus site and expects the first unit to be connected to the grid this year.

All shortlisted candidates are ready to file binding bids in the tender to choose an investor for the construction of two nuclear power reactors at the Belene nuclear power station, Bulgaria’s energy ministry said on 31 January.

In December, the ministry invited five companies to file binding offers: China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP), Russia’s Atomenergoprom, a subsidiary of state nuclear corporation Rosatom, France’s Framatome and US-based General Electric.

By the 31 January deadline all five companies had sent letters to confirm they were ready to file binding offers, with KHNP also sending additional questions in order to make a final decision on whether to participate in the tender, the ministry said in a statement.

The deadline for submitting final binding offers is 31 May 2020.
