Nuclear power construction is characterized by high capital costs, a significant number of participants in the design and construction processes. One of the most significant factors of the efficiency of NPP projects implementation is the adopted technology for the construction. An analysis of the Soviet and modern experience in the NPPs construction allows to assert that the piece reinforcing application leads to an increase in the project implementation time. The technology of large-block assembling of NPP structures and equipment have been widely used by the world leaders in NPPs construction, but the implementation of this technology required significant costs for the organization of the necessary infrastructure. In the context of the rapid development of computing systems, instrumentation and mechanical engineering, it is proposed to fundamentally rethink the processes of NPP construction. It is proposed to return to the technologies of large-block installation of NPP structures by switching from rail lifting mechanisms to pneumatic wheels, by robotizing the processes of enlargement and installation of structures and equipment. The functions of managing and making organizational and technological decisions can be partially transferred to a specially developed neural network that has access to an array of data on previously implemented projects. This approach allows us to consider the NPP construction project as a cyber-physical system and opens the way to a whole range of areas of fundamental and applied research in the field of technology, organization and management of the construction of NPP.
