The pouring of concrete for the foundation slab of the reactor building at Turkey's Akkuyu-4 nuclear power plant has been completed, project company Akkuyu Nuclear said.
Akkuyu Nuclear, a subsidiary of Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom, said the completion of the foundation slab means construction of the reactor cavity walls can begin.
The foundation slab pouring took 3,500 tonnes of reinforcement and 17,500 cubic metres of concrete mix – enough to cover 10 football pitches to a height of one metre.
