OMZ subsidiary Izhorskiye Zavody has delivered the reactor pressure vessel for the fourth unit of the Tianwan nuclear power project, currently being built by China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) in the Jiangsu province of China.
The Tianwan nuclear power plant is operated by the Jiangsu Nuclear Power Corporation, a joint venture between China National Nuclear Corporation (50%), China Power Investment Corporation (30%) and Jiangsu Guoxin Group (20%). It consists of two 990 MW (1,060 MW gross) pressurised-water reactors (PWRs) commissioned in 2006 and 2007 and two similar units are currently under construction on the site. Tianwan 3 and 4 will be AES-91 VVER-1000 units designed by Gidropress and supplied by Russian state firm Rosatom. Construction started in December 2012 for the third unit (expected in 2016) and in September 2014 for the fourth unit. The containment dome was installed at unit-4 in September 2015 and the reactor is expected in 2017.
