The concrete base slab has been completed for Russia’s Brest-OD-300 pilot demonstration power plant at the site of the Siberian Chemical Combine in Seversk, southwest Siberia, Russian nuclear fuel manufacturer Tvel said.

Tvel said the foundation slab consists of nine separate blocs and is 2.5 meters thick with dimensions of 90 metres on 82 metres.
