Russian media: Rosatom supplies control systems for Unit 7 of China's Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant.

The state conglomerate also provided the nuclear island control systems.

TASS editorial report, April 22.

Rosatom has ensured that the control systems for Unit 7 of the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant are ready for startup procedures.

Announced by the group’s press office.

As part of the Russian supply, the company’s experts produced and were responsible for installing and commissioning systems monitoring and diagnosing key reactor parameters, fire protection, reactor control and protection, as well as individual components of laboratory equipment and full-scale simulators.

General Manager Alexey Nikitin stated: “We are supplying standardized control and management system equipment packages for the Chinese project under construction, with configurations unified across all four projects. These systems primarily belong to the 'nuclear island' section, performing critical functions such as monitoring operational parameters of the VVER-1200 reactors, measuring neutron flux, hydrogen concentration, and coolant level."

“The relevant systems are now ready to proceed with further fuel loading procedures.”

The Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant is the largest economic cooperation project between Russia and China.

Currently, two units based on Russian design, equipped with VVER-1200 reactor units, are under construction.

The previously completed four Russian VVER-1000 units are operating well and currently supplying hundreds of megawatts of electricity to China’s power grid.

In June 2018, Russia and China signed an intergovernmental protocol and framework contract in Beijing regarding the construction of Units 7 and 8 (equipped with VVER-1200 reactors).

According to these documents, Russia is responsible for designing the 'nuclear island' portion of the nuclear power plant and providing key equipment for both units.

The engineering division of Rosatom is responsible for the design, documentation, equipment supply, and related services (design supervision, installation guidance, commissioning support) for the 'nuclear island'.
