Russia has shipped two steam generators from a set of four for the first unit at the Rooppur nuclear power station under construction in Bangladesh, equipment manufacturer Atomenergomash said.

The company said the two steam generators have been shipped from Atommash’s factory in Volgodonsk, southwest Russia, along with the completed reactor pressure vessel for Turkey’s Akkuyu-1 nuclear power plant.

There are two Russia-supplied 1,200-MW V-392M pressurised water reactor units under construction at Rooppur.

First concrete for Rooppur-1 was poured in November 2017 and for Rooppur-2 in July 2018. A general contract was signed between Russia and Bangladesh in 2015.
