El Dabaa Reactor Support Ring Arrives
The 20-tonne reactor support ring has arrived and will be installed at a height of 11 metres in the reactor shaft.
According to Egypt’s Nuclear Power Plants Authority (NPPA), the ring is a "key and vital component" made of high-strength steel alloys resistant to thermal and mechanical stress.
It transfers the entire weight of the vessel, including its equipment, nuclear fuel, and operating fluids, to the concrete base in a balanced and safe manner. It also ensures the reactor's stability during operation and contributes to load distribution and resistance to the effects of internal pressures and earthquakes.
The reactor vessel, which could reach 1000 tonnes when combined with equipment and fluids, has been shipped.
Author summary: El Dabaa reactor support ring installation progresses.
