Russian Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom's Engineering Division has successfully carried out hydraulic pressure tests on the primary circuit systems and equipment of Unit 1 at the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), currently under construction in Bangladesh.These hydraulic tests, performed at a pressure of 24.5 MPa, focused on ensuring both the strength and density of the plant's primary circuit systems, a key element in maintaining the plant's operational safety and efficiency.The successful testing of the hydraulic pressure test has paved the way for the next critical phase in the plant's construction, that is, the hot run of the reactor plant, Alexey Deriy, Vice President for Projects in Bangladesh at ASE JSC, Rosatom’s engineering arm, has said.The testing procedure included several stages: preliminary preparations, filling the primary circuit with water, achieving the required pressure and temperature, and preparing the main and adjacent systems for the test.To oversee and manage these operations, an automated process control system was implemented, ensuring smooth and precise monitoring of the process parameters during the hydraulic tests.The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, located 160 kilometers from Dhaka, will feature two VVER-1200 reactors with a Gen III+ design, delivering a total capacity of 2,400 MW. The plant is being constructed using Russian design, in accordance with the General Contract signed on December 25, 2015.The VVER-1200 reactors fully comply with international safety standards and have been successfully operating in Russia and Belarus, according to Rosatom. Ongoing construction is also taking place in Egypt, Hungary, Turkey, and China. This project is a key part of Rosatom’s international expansion, reinforcing Russia's leadership in global nuclear energy development.

Rosatom Successfully Conducts Hydraulic Pressure Test at Rooppur Plant
18:11 19.03.2025 (Updated: 20:36 19.03.2025) Rosatom's Engineering Division has successfully completed hydraulic pressure tests at the primary circuit systems of the Rooppur NPP unit 1 in Bangladesh.
Russian Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom's Engineering Division has successfully carried out hydraulic pressure tests on the primary circuit systems and equipment of Unit 1 at the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), currently under construction in Bangladesh.
These hydraulic tests, performed at a pressure of 24.5 MPa, focused on ensuring both the strength and density of the plant's primary circuit systems, a key element in maintaining the plant's operational safety and efficiency.
The successful testing of the hydraulic pressure test has paved the way for the next critical phase in the plant's construction, that is, the hot run of the reactor plant, Alexey Deriy, Vice President for Projects in Bangladesh at ASE JSC, Rosatom’s engineering arm, has said.
“The hydraulic tests successfully completed at the Rooppur NPP power unit 1 confirm the high level of quality and safety of our project,” Deriy stated. “This is a significant stage that brings us closer to the next important step, i.e., the hot run of the reactor plant.”
The testing procedure included several stages: preliminary preparations, filling the primary circuit with water, achieving the required pressure and temperature, and preparing the main and adjacent systems for the test.
To oversee and manage these operations, an automated process control system was implemented, ensuring smooth and precise monitoring of the process parameters during the hydraulic tests.
The engineers conducted comprehensive monitoring, ensuring that all equipment status indicators aligned with the design requirements and adhered to international safety standards.
The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, located 160 kilometers from Dhaka, will feature two
VVER-1200 reactors with a Gen III+ design, delivering a total capacity of 2,400 MW. The plant is being constructed using Russian design, in accordance with the General Contract signed on December 25, 2015.
The VVER-1200 reactors fully comply with international safety standards and have been successfully operating in Russia and Belarus, according to Rosatom. Ongoing construction is also taking place in Egypt, Hungary, Turkey, and China.
