SSE ChNPP General Director Igor Gramotkin, accompanied by Acting Technical Director Oleksandr Skomarokhov, top management of JV Novarka and SIP PMU, made a regular walk through the New Safe Confinement working area.
The managers became convinced that the project works are at the closing stage: general construction works are almost finished; installation of the main systems is in progress; preparatory works and tests of main cranes system are underway; works on outer and inner cladding are coming to an end; installation of the sealing membrane is in progress. Active works are under way both inside and outside the technological building, as well as in auxiliary premises. First of all these are installation works for various systems.
Besides that, works on arranging the NSC external and internal space are in progress.
All works must be completed by December 2017 — time of the New Safe Confinement commissioning. On these very dates Ukraine will host a regular meeting of the Assembly of the Chernobyl Shelter Fund (CSF) contributors, where the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the Employer — i.e. SSE Chernobyl NPP — will report to representatives of the donor-countries on the execution status of this largest project.
