The experts at CNIITMASH JSC (part of JSC Atomenergomash, a machine-building branch of ROSATOM) constructed and delivered eight water jet pumps for Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant Units 5 and 6.

The equipment is designed to be utilised for cooling spent fuel storage pools and feeding chemical solutions to the primary circuit's emergency cooling system.

“Manufacture and commissioning of the water jet pumps at Kudankulam NPP is one of the crucial stages for the provision of reliability and safety of NPP operation. In other words, the pumps are a part of the protection system of the primary system,” Alexey Korenets, Executive Projects for CNIITMASH JSC Pilot Production, said.
