Russia has successfully delivered the nuclear reactor vessel and other equipment for Unit 7 of the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant in China, the Atomstroyexport JSC representatives told Sputnik on Thursday.
The core catcher casing has been installed for two of the Russian-supplied VVER-1200 reactors being constructed in China. The 156-tonne casing is part of the core catcher, which is intended to prevent release of radioactive substances in the event of a severe accident.
