Installation of the transport lock has been completed in the Power Unit 1 reactor building at the Rooppur NPP construction site in Bangladesh by Rosatom State Corporation Engineering Division.The transport lock is the largest piece of equipment at the NPP site, while its length is 12.7m, its width is 10m, and its weight is 235 metric tons. Through the transport lock, nuclear fuel is loaded and unloaded into the plant, and equipment of class 1 & 2 is delivered at the stages of NPP construction. After the NPP start-up, fuel simulators will be delivered through the lock, and it will ensure full maintenance of the reactor.Further work on the assembly and adjustment of the transport lock will be carried out after the jacketing of the power unit 1 dome.
