Work to segment and package the steel reactor pressure vessel head of the Brunsbüttel nuclear power plant in Germany has been ...

In this design, primary circuit components are placed within the reactor pressure vessel, eliminating the need for primary circuit pipework, with the intention of enhancing safety and reliability.

The reactor pressure vessel (RPV), a 500t steel container, holds nuclear fuel to generate heat and produce steam for the world’s largest turbine, built by Arabelle Solutions. Manufactured by ...

Meanwhile, the fuel to be used in the second unit has also been delivered to the site. The vessel of unit 3 is hoisted into place (Image: Akkuyu Nuclear) The cylindrical reactor pressure vessel (RPV) ...

Workers installed the 42-foot reactor pressure vessel on Tuesday night. The 500-tonne steel container will be used to safely house nuclear fuel. This in turn will heat water into steam that drives ...

When looking to acquire a stirred reactor, operating pressure should be the first consideration, bearing in mind the robust walls often necessary for higher-pressure vessels can make temperature ...

Uranium was found in one of the three meltdown-hit reactors at Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.

The reactor pressure vessel is the first to be built for a British power station for more than 30 years. At just 13 metres tall and weighing 500 tonnes, it will create the heat needed to make ...

Pressure will reach 155 bar, five times more than on a submarine at normal operating depth. The steel vessel is 25cm thick, 13m (42.6 ft) long, and weighs 500 tonnes. Hinkley Point C The reactor ...

laying bare part of the steel frame and rebars from the bottom to the top. The inner skirt’s functions connect the reactor pressure vessel with the containment vessel. But the melting of the ...

Images taken by the robot under the No. 1 reactor at the plant also confirmed heavy damage to a concrete “pedestal” under the pressure vessel. The inspection by the robot started on March 29.
