The reactor pressure vessel (RPV) has been installed for Unit 1 of Egypt’s first nuclear power station El Dabaa, Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom said.
The installation took place on 19 November and was marked by a joint video ceremony attended by the presidents of Russia and Egypt.
The RPV, 330-tonne component, manufactured by Izhora plants in St. Petersburg, was delivered to the El Dabaa site in late October 2025.
