Excavation Works Begin for Uzbekistan Small Modular Reactor
About 1.5 million cubic meters of soil will be excavated during the digging of a pit 13 meters deep for the RITM-200N small modular reactor being built in Uzbekistan.
The first cubic meters of soil were excavated in a ceremony attended by notable figures, including Pavel Bezrukov, Abdujamil Kalmuratov, and Ulugbek Mustafoyev.
"Today marks the beginning of a new phase in the implementation of the nuclear power generation project in Uzbekistan. As with all our international projects, the construction is designed with a high degree of localisation. The work is being carried out by Uzbek subcontractors."
