Description

The agreement between the governments of Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union concluded in 1974 provides that between 1976 and 1980 the Czechoslovak metallurgical and engineering industries would produce and export to CMEA countries the equipment for the primary coolant circuits of WWER-440 and WWER-1000 type nuclear power plants. The Sigma enterprise was entrusted with the development and production of pumps for the primary and secondary circuits. R and D has advanced to the stage of fast breeder reactor power plants. The 500 BIKS water circulating pump for temperatures up to 290 degC and a pressure of 160 kp/cm2 and a service life of 30 years was developed in cooperation with other manufacturers. (Oy)
