Volgodonsk NPP (36 photos)

December 5 Volgodonsk NPP was visited by bloggers.
The initiators of the event were the JSC "Concern" and OAO "Atomenergoprom".
The tour was supported by the State Corporation "Rosatom" and the agency's interactive marketing "rare stamps».
[...]
The guests visited the Information Center of Volgodonsk NPP, the first power unit, where they visited the block control room and turbine hall.

From the impressions of bloggers xmms, netmsz and darkness-s made this post.

The general plan of the plant. It is planned to build another 2 unit (2nd run, 3rd stroyut 4 planned).

The general plan of the main hall of the Information Centre.

The most interesting picture from sfotkatsya at the information center.

The model VVER-1000 reactor, which is operated on a given NPP:

And this picture shows just the filling of a nuclear reactor - fuel assemblies where the cartridge and loaded with uranium fuel

Then we asked not to shoot.
It is considered the first line of the physical protection of the station.

Kyoto, built with nuclear power plants and nuclear power plants due



11
Similarly, the Golden Corridor of the Chernobyl Volgodonsk NPP is also accessible to all premises station without going outside.



12
Transitions, corridors, maybe under the ground is something there.



13
Further pictures through the glass, so the quality is not very.

Spray ponds

Gas economy

View of the turbine building and transformers



16
We went to the entrance of Turbine hall



17
Turbine plant



18
And we find ourselves actually in the computer room, where we see the turbogenerator. It is here, and this machine generates electricity



19
Near to the entrance end of the turbine. This steam is supplied from steam generators. The steam temperature at the entrance to approximately 300 degrees.



20
In fact, this room somewhere with a football field.



21
On the other end is a generator. Compared with the turbine it seems small.



22
They are connected through a clutch here. on this side of steam in the turbine has cooled, before the turbine can easily touch - it is a little warm.



23
So it looks from the other end:



24
At the bottom of a huge space for repair and service in times of PPR.

...



26
The entire hall is entangled pipes. With red marking - pairs, with green - water, and blue - the air



27
Incidentally, with regard to the radiation. The steam turbine is supplied non-radioactive. This is the second circuit. Radioactive coolant loop 1 (purified water with possible additives) heats the water in the steam generators of the second circuit, which is converted into steam. And in the steam in the condenser is cooled with water from the cooling pond. So dosimeter treacherously silent.
Interestingly, the water in the loop reactor 1 is not boiling, because Pressurized



28
Along the perimeter are here are the fire Soup



29
We then proceeded to the control room. Entrance to the reactor compartment is located next to the entrance to the turbine hall. Only the entrance turnstiles controlled by additional growth in humans. They are a means of physical protection, so no pictures.
After the turnstiles through a thick door, we pass into the reactor compartment



30
Go down the stairs and go through the gateway in the control room.



31
The gateway hangs mirror silhouette. In general, the campaign at the station a lot, but it does not irritate



32
We take off the helmet and get in the room control room. It snachinaetsya a corridor.



33
After going through it myself get to the control panel. Unusually lack mnemotablo, as stontsiyah with RBMK-1000



34
All the walls in the range of panels, the purpose of which reserved for 2-3 minutes do not understand, even if to ask, and this we do not recommend, need not distract people.



35
Yet the question of radiation. Staff, unlike stations RBMK works obyno clothing because Station 2 cooling circuit of the reactor, no radiation emissions and work areas are not considered dirty.
In the background was the MCR 6-7 mR / h, less than at home.
Each unit has 3 diesel generators, which are here in this building:

Last look at the station

via1, via2, via3, via4 there better, but pictures are repeated, and there is still here.
