Future civil engineers visited Belarusian NPP

Written by Department of information and public relations

A group of first-year students from Belarusian National Technical University majoring in Construction of Buildings and Structures for Thermal and Nuclear Energy visited Belarusian NPP on July 9, 2025.

At the NPP information centre, students learned about the operating principle of a nuclear reactor, the strategy for handling spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste, and the development of global nuclear energy in general. 

During the tour, special attention was paid to the key facilities of the nuclear power plant, the materials and technologies for their construction, which are of particular interest to future construction engineers in the energy sector. 

The students were able to evaluate the unique engineering solutions used during the construction of the reactor compartment sealed shell – a multi-layer structure made of high-strength concrete and reinforcement, ensuring maximum safety of the nuclear power plant. 

When learning the structure of the machine room, special attention was paid to the features of the foundation and supporting structures capable of withstanding significant dynamic loads.   

Future builders were able to assess the scale of the NPP hydraulic structures (cooling towers and spray ponds), and become familiar with their design features and operating principles. 

At the training center, students were told about the training of NPP personnel, the operation of a full-scale simulator of a block control room, which maximally imitates real working conditions. This allowed students to immerse in the atmosphere of reactor control and understand the complexity and responsibility of the work of the operating personnel of a nuclear power plant.
