Another view inside the containment building, showcasing the complex network of platforms, equipment, and handling systems essential for reactor operations.
In the centre, a rig flask stands near the top plate, used for loading and unloading fuel elements and experimental rigs. The positioning of these flasks was crucial to ensuring safe and efficient reactor operations.
Above, the polar crane spans the space, providing the precision necessary to manoeuvre heavy components. Its ability to traverse the entire top plate made it indispensable for maintenance, refuelling, and equipment handling.
Along the curved walls, access walkways and control panels provided operators with crucial monitoring points, allowing for real-time oversight of reactor operations.
