Double Launch: The 'Hearts' of New Nuclear Power Plants Depart Russia for Egypt and Turkey! ⚛️🚚 A landmark event took place in Moscow during the World Atomic Week, speaking volumes about the scale of Russia's nuclear industry. A ceremonial shipment of VVER-1200 reactor pressure vessels — the most modern and safe reactors in the world — was initiated via a teleconference! Two giants have simultaneously set off on their journeys: ✅For the El-Dabaa NPP (Egypt): This is the first nuclear power project in Egypt's history, being implemented by Rosatom. The plant will become a cornerstone of the country's energy independence. ✅For Unit 4 of the Akkuyu NPP (Turkey): This is Türkiye's first nuclear power plant, constructed under the Build-Own-Operate model. The launch of all four power units will meet up to 10% of the country's electricity needs. Why is this important? 🤔 The reactor pressure vessel is the very "heart" of a nuclear power plant. Its shipment marks the transition from large-scale construction to the key installation stage. Each of these cylinders, as tall as a multi-story building, weighs over 330 tonnes! Their production is the result of cutting-edge technology and the coordinated work of a whole network of Russian enterprises. The live broadcast of the equipment dispatch from the manufacturing plants to VDNH clearly demonstrated that Russia is not just building power plants, but is creating reliable nuclear energy for the future of entire countries and regions. #Rosatom#WorldAtomicWeek#NuclearEnergy#VVER1200#ElDabaa#Akkuyu#Egypt#Türkiye#NuclearConstruction#FutureOfEnergy#Technology#Export
