First they visited the exposition, and then listened to two lectures. On this day the speakers were the Project Director of Akkuyu NPP of the JSC “Atomenergoproekt” (a part of Rosatom Corporation) Kuchumov A. Yu., and Dr. Phys.-Math.Sci., Professor of INPE MEPhI Kazansky Yu.A.
The first lecture was devoted to technical solutions of the Project NPP Akkuyu. Andrey Kuchumov told about status of the implementation of the first Turkish nuclear power plant; about the basic technical and economic indices of NPP Akkuyu and its differences from the Novovoronezh NPP-2; about technical solutions of safety systems and measures to enhance the stability of power units to extreme conditions.
