New nuclear reactors under construction and being planned in Turkey will help meet the fast-growing economy’s “massive” demand for energy and reduce the country’s dependence on polluting fossil fuels, the Italian representative of the NIATR (Nuclear Industry Association of Turkish Republic) said.

According to Turkey’s ministry of energy and natural resources, energy consumption in 2012 was 239 TWh a year, while in 2023 forecasts say it could reach as much as 478 TWh.

However, Massimo Giorgi of NIATR told NucNet that the current energy mix will not meet demand and the lack of reliable, diversified, low-cost energy is an obstacle to Ankara’s economic plans.

Once fully operational, the $20bn Akkuyu nuclear power station, where Turkey is building four 1,114-MW pressurised water reactor units supplied by Russia, will provide about 10% of the country’s total electricity generation.

Russian nuclear equipment producer Atomenergomash has begun manufacturing the main components for Unit 6 of the Kudankulam nuclear power station under construction in Tamil Nadu, southern India.

The Russian state company said it has started the manufacturing process for the plant’s reactor pressure vessel (RPV) and steam generator set.

In a nuclear power plant, the RPV is one of the largest reactor components, a vessel containing the nuclear reactor coolant, core shroud, and the reactor core and fuel. Steam generators act as heat exchangers where water carrying heat generated from the nuclear reaction is used to turn demineralised water into steam.

According to Atomenergomash, the various parts of the RPV and steam generators have already been forged, but are now being tested and are undergoing preliminary anti-corrosion procedures. The final manufacturing stage will consist of assembly of the components by welding.
