The first power unit of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant in Bangladesh, being built by Rosatom, has been equipped with Russian automated control systems. RASU (Rusatom Automated Control Systems), a subsidiary of Rosatom, installed 22 subsystems at the plant to manage technological processes and radiation monitoring. This is reported by Ixbt.com .
These systems monitor the operation of equipment in the power unit, electricity transmission to the grid, and the stability of technological processes. Gleb Murashov, General Director of RASU, stated that all systems have been configured and are ready for operation. As part of the project, radiation monitoring systems were developed in a compact stand format for the first time.
Last week, a significant milestone was reached at the Rooppur NPP: nuclear fuel was loaded into the reactor of the first power unit, and the physical start-up process was carried out. Located 160 km from Dhaka, the plant consists of two VVER-1200 reactors with a total capacity of 2400 MW.
Being built under an agreement signed in 2015, this facility will be the first nuclear power plant in Bangladesh's history. Currently, construction of NPPs based on Russian technologies is also underway in Egypt, Hungary, Turkey, and China, while research for a project is being conducted in Kazakhstan.
