Rosatom has completed the delivery and installation of the full automated process control system (APCS) for Unit-1 of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, marking a major milestone in Bangladesh’s first nuclear power project.
The system was supplied by Rosatom Automated Control Systems (RASU) and includes 22 subsystems for process automation and radiation monitoring for the VVER-1200 reactor unit.
According to project officials, the systems will monitor equipment performance, electricity generation, and operational safety during both commissioning and commercial operation.
Gleb Murashov said all APCS equipment for Unit-1 has now been delivered and commissioned at the construction site, adding that several technological improvements were introduced, including compact radiation monitoring systems.
The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, being built with Russian technology, will consist of two VVER-1200 reactors with a combined generation capacity of 2,400 MW.
The Generation III+ reactors comply with international safety standards and are already operating in Russia and Belarus, while similar projects are under construction in Egypt, Hungary, Turkey, and China.
