Russian company NPP Doza has completed production of an additional batch of 93 continuous and periodic radiation monitoring stands for the Akkuyu NPP under construction in Türkiye. The equipment passed acceptance inspection and is ready for installation.
The RK stand is designed for continuous monitoring of the radiation situation in the premises and technological systems of nuclear fuel cycle enterprises. The equipment can be integrated as a lower-level element of automated radiation monitoring systems (ASRK – Avtomatizirovannikh Sistem Radiatsionnovo Kontrolya) at nuclear power and industrial facilities, including facilities for the production, processing, use and storage of radioactive materials.
Akkuyu NPP will eventually host four Russian-designed VVER-1200 reactors. The pouring of first concrete for unit 1 took place in April 2018, for unit 2 in June 2020, for unit 3 in March 2021, and for unit 4 in July 2022. Rosatom is constructing the reactors according to a build-own-operate model. Unit 1 is expected to begin operation in 2025-26.
Currently, work is underway at Doza on the production of an additional 90 stands for two more units of the station, with shipment of equipment planned for the fourth quarter of this year.
