Russia signs pact to supply tech for Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant

LUCH Scientific Production Association has reportedly signed an agreement to supply thermocouples for four power units of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) in India. In the internal reactor control systems of KNPP units 1 and 2, new sensors designed for thermal control of NPP process equipment will replace the old ones. High-accuracy resistance thermocouples are an essential component of the in-reactor control system, ensuring the safe operation of nuclear reactor equipment. These thermocouples are primary temperature measuring transducers that are designed to measure the temperature of the coolant in the "hot" and "cold" strings of the main circulation pipeline under externally influencing conditions.
