9 pumps worked for more than a day! Tons of concrete were poured into Akkuyu's foundation

Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant's fourth unit has completed the foundation pour for its turbine building, using 2,241 cubic meters of concrete in a continuous operation lasting more than nine days, according to project operator Akkuyu Nuclear. The milestone advances Turkey's first nuclear plant, a $20 billion project led by Russia's Rosatom, toward its target of bringing all four units online. The foundation must now cure to its design strength before further construction proceeds. The work underscores the scale of the build, where each unit's turbine hall requires thousands of cubic meters of concrete. Next, watch for the start of superstructure work on unit four and progress on commissioning of earlier units.
