The completely installed containment will ensure the maximum nuclear plant safety.
The installation of the large-sized metal structure took place at a height of 63 m and took 10 hours. It has a weight of 340 t and a diameter of 50.8 m.
After the installation of the lower dome of the outer containment, the Akkuyu NPP builders will install the outer containment dome. The large-sized reinforced concrete structure will protect the reactor plant against external impact during the entire lifetime of the nuclear plant.
Generation 3+ nuclear plant power units are equipped with high-tech safety systems designed for extreme loads: earthquakes up to 9 points on the MSK-64 scale, hurricanes up to 60 m/s, tsunamis and air shock waves up to 10 m high.
