Production of components for a small nuclear power plant in Uzbekistan has begun at a Rosatom facility in St. Petersburg, Orda.kz reports, citing Gazeta.uz.
The steel casting process for the first reactor was presented at the Power Uzbekistan 2025 exhibition in Tashkent.
At the AEM-Spetsstal metallurgical plant in St. Petersburg, which is part of the machine-building division of Russia’s state corporation Rosatom, reactor equipment is now being manufactured for the first unit of the small nuclear power plant (SNPP) under construction in Uzbekistan.
Metallurgists cast the first steel for the future RITM-200N reactor unit. The casting process was showcased during the Power Uzbekistan 2025 exhibition, held as part of Uzbekistan’s International Energy Week, which began on May 13 in Tashkent.
According to the company, the steel ingot weighs 205 tons and is made of alloy steel. It will later be used to produce a component of the RITM-200N reactor vessel, which will be part of the plant.
Six RITM-200N reactor units are planned for the small nuclear power project in Uzbekistan.
