@russianforces Just down, it has been very unstable lately

[Nuclear Energy RA @ra_nuclear]

Fun fact: there was an idea in the 90s to build CANDUs there, and export some of their electricity to China

[Nuclear Energy RA @ra_nuclear]

Public hearings were held about construction of the Primorskaya NPP in Russia’s Far East.
2x VVER-1000 planned.
First concrete in 2027 & 2029, with target commissioning in 2033 & 2035. Seems rather optimistic, considering nothing has been done yet.

[Nuclear Energy RA @ra_nuclear]

Classic arguments against the construction were heard: We cant build on a volcano, we don't need it, we need it but NIMBY.

[Nuclear Energy RA @ra_nuclear]

@realTZV @HarksenNiels Good job!

[Nuclear Energy RA @ra_nuclear]

The hull for the first of four MPEBs (106 MWe floating NPPs) has reportedly been delivered from China to the Baltiyskiy Zavod shipyard for the next phase of construction. Target completion date for the first unit is 2028.

[Nuclear Energy RA @ra_nuclear]

@realTZV @HarksenNiels Where is this from?

[Nuclear Energy RA @ra_nuclear]

@realTZV @HarksenNiels For that reason I was surprised that MPEBs are progressing

[Dirk Egelkraut @realTZV]

@HarksenNiels @ra_nuclear There it is.

[Nuclear Energy RA @ra_nuclear]

@HarksenNiels For ships constructions usually oficially starts with first metal cutting. But for nuclear construction we need to cheat a little and delay till maybe drydock assembly?
But I think PRIS just re-reports data submitted by national agencies

[Nuclear Energy RA @ra_nuclear]

@HarksenNiels Not particularly. I mean there is always usual delaying stuff like sanctions, tenders, work organization, etc.

BREST-OD-300 Installation of steam generator & circulation pump chambers

[Nuclear Energy RA @ra_nuclear]

@HarksenNiels Reportedly Rosatom had previously tried to buy SilMash 's generator production. And is now evaluating localized turbine production with DongFang.

[Nuclear Energy RA @ra_nuclear]

Reportedly, Rosatom is considering buying turbines from DongFang Electric(China) instead of SilMash for Leningrad NPP unit 7 & 8.

While no details were officially provided, lower costs and tight schedules are the speculated reasons.
