KUDANKULAM: The third unit of India's Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP) is all set to get every other set of kit as Rostov-based Atomenergomash, a machine-building department of Russia’s Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation, has manufactured and shipped out the moisture separator reheaters and high drive heaters. In March 2018, the first batch of kit for turbine constructing of Unit 3 of Kudankulam NPP was completed and shipped out. Since then, the method is on.
The company has additionally sent spare portions for the scheduled repairs of Reactor Coolant Pumps at KKNPP Units 1 and a pair of which are already useful. The civil paintings for KKNPP 3 and 4 started in June 2017.
Moisture Separator Reheaters, manufactured by way of ZiO-Podolsk, a subsidiary of Atomenergomash, are designed to remove water condensed from the method steam to maximise thermal potency and reliability of the low drive turbine. The weight of kit is 47 tones; peak is 7 meters; diameter is four meters.
High Pressure Heaters with a length of greater than 11 meters, that weigh 120 tones, pre-heat feedwater, dropped at a steam generator. The equipment is the one of the vital major components of the turbine island, where the thermal power is extracted from pressurized steam and converted into electric power.
The overall weight of the equipment for KKNPP Unit 3 is greater than 1000 tones. In overall, there will likely be 8 sets of Moisture Separator Reheaters and High Pressure Heaters.
Spare portions for the Reactor Coolant Pumps, manufactured by way of CDBMB (additionally a subsidiary of Atomenergomash) weigh 50 tones and come with bearings, thrust rings and electromagnets. The Reactor Coolant Pumps are used to pump number one coolant (water) around the primary circuit to remove the warmth generated within the reactor core.
The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant is jointly built by way of Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL). Atomenergomash is the provider of the main equipment for the reactor and turbine islands. The design and development works at the website are being carried out by way of ASE Group of Companies, an engineering department of Rosatom.
KNNPP is scheduled to have six Russian VVER-1000 reactors with an installed capability of 1,000 MW every.
KKNPP Unit 1 was synchronised with the southern power grid in October 2013. KKNPP Unit 2 was connected to the grid in August 2016. The 2 X 1,000 MW VVER reactors of KKNPP Units 1&2 have jointly generated 27,033 million gadgets of electricity.
In 2017, Russia and India additionally signed the General Framework Agreement for the construction of KKNPP Units 5&6. Currently the extensive floor and infrastructural works are underway.
