Specialists of area No. 1 of JSC MSU-90 are finishing installation of racks in the nuclear fuel pool.

The racks were moved to the reactor building by a transportation lock trestle crane. Then the racks were reloaded to a polar crane and lowered into the fuel pool. Metal structures were mounted on special metal frames.
When all racks are mounted, the fuel pool will be filled in with water again to continue testing.
