The port is intended for receiving process equipment for the construction and further operation of the power plant, including the delivery of fresh fuel. The port on Padma river is operating normally, receiving both construction cargo and process equipment, Russian nuclear energy firm Rosatom said in a statement on Friday. Transportation of large oversized cargo for the plant will be transported by sea from St Petersburg and Novorossiysk to Mongla. The transportation of massive equipment -- the weight of the reactor vessel is 333.6 tonnes while the steam generator is 340 tonnes -- is a complex logistic operation. JSC Atomenergomash, a nuclear engineering production of Russia, manufactured the reactor vessel and the steam generator.
