Work continues on equipment for South-Ukrainian NPP

The workshops of the enterprise are working on the manufacture of equipment for the modernization of the flow path of the medium-pressure cylinder of the turbine of the power unit No. 2 of South-Ukrainian NPP.

Thus, the blade workshop No. 55 has begun work on the manufacture of guide vanes for diaphragms and a set of rotor blades for a medium pressure rotor. Some of the guide vanes were transferred to the workshop of machining and welding production No. 72 for the assembling and welding of diaphragms. Casting and forging workshop No. 50 completed the manufacture of blanks for diaphragms.

Previously, equipment has already been shipped for Unit No. 2 of South-Ukrainian NPP: a high-pressure rotor, nozzles and diaphragms of 2-7 stages of a high-pressure cylinder.

The contract for the modernization of the flow paths of the 1000 MWe reactor turbine at South-Ukrainian NPP was signed with NNEGC “Energoatom” on February 25 this year, it became the first contract of “Turboatom” for the modernization of the flow path of 1000 MWe reactor turbine in Ukraine. Such a large-scale modernization of turbines at Ukrainian NPPs is being performed for the first time. The company has a positive experience in performing similar work for customers outside the country, including at Unit No. 5 of Kozloduy NPP (Bulgaria).

The current contract is a part of the approved 5-year program for the modernization of equipment at nuclear power plants in Ukraine, calculated until 2024.
