- Designing works of cargo transportation routes of the new NPP to be shortly accomplished
The last works of designing the routes for the transportation of heavyweight and bulky equipment necessary for the construction of the new Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) as well as the major share of NPP building components have been drawing to a close. Experts have already evaluated the condition of all sections along the route such as bridges, overpasses, turns, etc., which need reconstruction. 33 topographic plans have been drawn up and coordinated; initial project proposals have been selected and calculated; and other technical parameters have been assessed. - 2010-08-17
- Sites are suitable for the construction of the new Visaginas NPP from the engineering geological point of view
Half a year of surveys led to the conclusion that both potential construction sites are suitable for the construction of the new Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) from the engineering geological and hydrogeological point of view. That was one of the last assessments of the sites in accordance with the safety requirements of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).Technical specifications of site assessment should be prepared by October.
