Rosatom to Began Assembling Reactor Vessel for Leningrad

On March 11, 2025, ZiO-Podolsk JSC (a company of Rosatom's Mechanical Engineering Division) along with the start of the flange machining operations started assembling the RITM-200 unit intended for the new-generation universal nuclear icebreaker Leningrad (the keel-laying ceremony was held in 2024 with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin). Maxim Tyukavkin, Deputy Head of Rosatom’s Mechanical Engineering Division, and Anton Lebedev, Director General of ZiO-Podolsk JSC, participated in the launch ceremony.

“The Mechanical Engineering Division of Rosatom has launched the mass production of RITM-200 reactor units. This is yet another impressive demonstration of the absolute leadership of our domestic industry. Our technical solutions propel scientific and industrial progress, while also facilitating the fulfilment of tasks of national importance. Our successful history of manufacturing and operating the cutting-edge RITM reactor units provides a solid basis for reaching the goals of the Northern Sea Route development and SMR technology promotion,” pointed out Maxim Tyukavkin.

Currently, for the first time in the plant’s history, there are eight RITM series reactor units at different stages of production (for icebreakers and floating power units).
