Hungarian Ganz EEM starts making equipment for Belarusian nuclear power plant

The Hungarian company Ganz EEM (part of Atomenergomash, the mechanical engineering division of the Russian state corporation Rosatom) has started making equipment for the Belarusian nuclear power plant, OAO Atomenergomash Press Secretary Inna Vavulina told BelTA.

The Hungarian company will make eight heavy-duty circulating pumps for the nuclear power plant’s cooling system. The company will make a small-scale model at the start to confirm parameters of the future large-size pumps.

Inna Vavulina remarked that it was not the first order Ganz EEM will fulfill for Russian nuclear power plants. For instance, in 2012-2013 the company shipped 18 pumps for the third and fourth power-generating units of the Rostov nuclear power plant, with seven of them already past their trial runs.

The Russian-Hungarian joint venture Ganz Engineering and Energetics Machinery was founded in 2008. The company makes equipment for reloading fuel for nuclear power plants as well as turbines, axial-flow pumps, and diagonal-flow pumps of medium and large output capacity.

OAO Atomenergomash is the mechanical engineering division of the Russian state corporation Rosatom. Atomenergomash provides effective comprehensive solutions for nuclear power industry, heat power industry, gas, oil, and chemical industries. The company comprises about 30 major manufacturing, research, and engineering enterprises in Russia and abroad.
