in within walking distance" between the components. "We will use this accumulated positive experience in the implementation of the next project, the manufacture of steam generators for the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in India, which has started," he added.
Rosatom awarded Abbasov its employee of the year award in 2016 for his team's work on increasing efficiency in the production of steam generators.
This work included eliminating wasteful efforts in technological operations at the manufacturing site in Volgodonsk and minimising as far as possible deficiencies in the welding process, AEM-Technology said. This led to a reduction by two months in the manufacture of the set of steam generators compared to the current industry standard, it added.
Each PGV-1000 steam generator has a diameter of just over 4 meters, a height of 5 meters and a length of 15 meters. It weighs 340 tonnes and an operating life of 40 years.
AEM-Technology says it currently has the technological capacity to produce eight steam generators per year.
