The last RITM-200 reactor for the Ural icebreaker went to the Baltic NW

22
Rosatom completed a contract for the construction of reactor installations for icebreakers of the 22220 project. Today, the second reactor RITM-200, produced by PJSC ZiO-Podolsk, which is a part of the engineering division of the Rosatom state corporation, Atomenergomash has been sent to the Baltiysky Plant in St. Petersburg. This was reported by the press service of the holding.

The last RITM-200 reactor for the Ural icebreaker went to the Baltic NW




The enterprise sent the first reactor to St. Petersburg at the end of September. Thus, the press service, Atomenergomash reported, having manufactured three reactor installations for nuclear icebreakers LK-60Я of the 22220 project, fully fulfilled its obligations. Each reactor installation includes two RHYTHM-200 reactors. In 2016, the installation was received by the Arktika icebreaker, in 2017, the first production icebreaker, Sibir. Now the second serial icebreaker "Ural" is also provided with a nuclear installation.

The newest Russian reactor installation "RITM-200" is part of the main power plant of the icebreaker and includes two reactors with a thermal power of 175 MW each. Its main advantage over other similar installations lies in its compactness and economy, as well as an energy-efficient integral layout, which makes it possible to make the icebreaker double-set, i.e. able to work both on deep water and in river beds, thereby replacing two types of icebreakers.

At the present time, three LC-XNUMHA multi-purpose nuclear icebreakers of the 60 project (Arctic, Siberia and Ural) are being built at the Baltiysky Plant. According to project data, new icebreakers will become the largest and most powerful in the world. They will be able to conduct caravans of ships in arctic conditions, punching ice up to three meters thick.

      Yes, "bastard" Russia, "barbarian", as liberals like to humiliate us .... Very few countries in the world can create this, it needs scientific potential and resources of many decades of trial and error, scientific research, etc. , which were laid back in Stalin's time.! We use and many clickers are still trying to shit heroic at those times .. Forgive us for, .... We will return everything! hi

          When the accident at Fukushima happened, the super-civilized japon did not find a robot capable of working in the high radiation zone. And here, lapotny, as early as the 1986 year in Chernobyl, such robots worked.

      ... this reactor weighs,

      The weight of the reactor is 147,5 tons, height - 7,3 meters, diameter - 3,3 m. Delivery of oversized cargo is carried out on a special railway conveyor with a carrying capacity of 240 tons. The reactor will be transported by rail to the Novy Port station in St. Petersburg, where it will be loaded onto a special barge and delivered to the shipyards of the Baltic Shipyard by water. hi

        sanchez for info, thanks for the video, hi but it’s better to transport such cargo by sea, otherwise the wear of the railway track will be high, and in our places the rails are literally on the ground because the sleepers are rotten, and the remains simply do not change them.

          ... C'mon, they’re not transported them every day ten times. Moreover, there is no sea in Podolsk.

        An old, proven delivery method in our area, since the time of the Thunder-stone - and there was something more weight. good

      ANCIENT (Sergey Vitalievich): I wonder how much this reactor weighs

          I'm sorry hi
          on our roads, as you know, from time to time the trains fall due to the bad roadway slope, which I’m afraid of

          Don’t be afraid, Sergey Vitalyevich, in this case everything will be fine - the Russian Guard will track Yes
          I’m not going to bet you, I’ll regret it, as is customary in Russia for centuries to spare the wretched ...

          But thanks for that. God give you health. Take care of yourself - try to drive less on railway transport - on our roads, as you know, from time to time trains fall due to a bad roadway No.

    The weight of the reactor is 147,5 tons, height - 7,3 meters, diameter - 3,3 m.

    It weighs almost like a whole piece of steel .... :) Specially calculated. A piece of nickel chrome steel in volumes of 19m3 weighs about 160 tons.
    There are roughly 1.5 m3 of free space inside. That's because there is pressure ....
