China installs steam generator at Tianwan unit 6

World Nuclear News reported that the second of three steam generators at China's forthcoming Tianwan 6 nuclear power unit has been installed, completing a 12-day process that involved bringing the component through a hatch and rotating to a vertical position. The achievement on 8 April was announced today by China Nuclear Industry 23rd Construction Company. Units 5 and 6 at Tianwan are domestic design ACPR1000 pressurised water reactors that will produce 1080 MWe when commissioned.

The first four units at the site are Gidropress VVER units supplied by Russia, as will be the seventh and eighth, for which a general contract was signed last month. When they are all in operation Tianwan would become the largest nuclear power plant in the world with eight units and a total generating capacity of about 8100 MWe.

Russia puts first concrete for second Kursk II unit

World Nuclear News reported that main construction work for the second unit at Kursk II in Russia has begun two weeks ahead of schedule. The site in Western Russia is the first to use the VVER-TOI (typical optimised, with enhanced information) reactor design. Rosenergoatom Director General Andrei Petrov said that Pouring of the first cubic metre of concrete into what will become the base plate of unit 2's reactor building is a "considerable milestone" for the project. He talked about series construction of the reactors: "Last April the first concrete of the nuclear basemat of unit number 1 at Kursk II was poured. And now we start main construction works at unit number 2 ahead of schedule."

The 1255 MWe VVER-TOI - described by Petrov as Russia's "most advanced" modern nuclear reactor - is a Generation III+ power unit and was developed using technical results from the VVER-1200 project. The design offers improved safety measures, including an increased margin of safety from extreme impacts and ability to withstand earthquakes, and is equipped with modern control systems and diagnostics, Rosatom said.

Kursk II will also be the first Russian nuclear power plant to have a digital automated system for managing costs and scheduling during the construction process. Construction timeframe, costs and operational costs are expected to show a "significant reduction" for the VVER-TOI in comparison to Generation III+ units such as Novovoronezh II units 1 and 2 and Leningrad II units 1 and 2, Rosatom said.

First concrete for Kursk II unit 1 was poured in April 2018, and Rosatom on 10 April announced completion of the installation of the first section of the unit's inner containment. The installation of the 15 metre x 9 metre reinforced blocks making up the structure - each weighing 50 tonnes - took almost a month. The blocks must now be joined into a single construction, before concrete is poured into the annular walls to a depth of 4 metres.

Construction of Egypt’s first nuclear power plant to begin in 2020

Egyptian Nuclear Regulation and Radiological Authority has granted the Nuclear Power Plants Authority site approval permit for the construction of Egypt’s first nuclear power plant. The construction of El Dabaa nuclear power plant is planned to take place 250km west of Alexandria city in Matrouh Governorate on the Mediterranean coast, and is expected to begin in 2020, with commissioning expected in 2026. The proposed plant will be developed by Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation ROSATOM under the ownership of the Nuclear Power Plant Authority of Arab Republic of Egypt, which will also operate it.

In 2015, the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy of Egypt signed an agreement with Russian state-owned company ROSATOM to build, finance and operate the nuclear plant, and notices to implement the previously signed contract were signed on December 2017.

According to Rosatom, the plant will consist of four Russian-designed VVER-1200 pressurized water reactors, which are capable of producing 1.2GW each. The first unit is expected to begin commercial operations in 2026, while commissioning of the remaining three reactors is scheduled for 2028.

The VVER-1200 reactor is a third-generation pressurised water reactor that is fully compliant with all international safety and post-Fukushima IAEA requirements. It is designed to withstand the crash of a 400t airplane or earthquakes up to an intensity of 9 on the Richter scale.

Other than low regional seismic activity and sufficient cooling water supply, the proposed site is in close proximity to necessary infrastructure including rail, road and power transmission interconnections.

A financing agreement signed between the Finance ministries of Egypt and the Russian Federation indicates that Russia will fund approximately 85% of the construction cost of the project through a US$25bn loan granted to Egypt, while the remaining 15% will be raised by Egypt from private investors. The loan is repayable over a period of 22 years at an interest rate of 3% a year.

Japan to suspend operations at nuclear plants if deadline missed

Xinhua reported that Japan's nuclear watchdog denied requests from power companies to extend deadlines for them to complete steps to install measures to protect against terrorism at their nuclear facilities. The Nuclear Regulation Authority said it would suspend the operations at plants that have not fulfilled anti-terrorism measures instituted in 2013 under stricter operational guidelines after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear crisis. Under the guidelines, the operators of nuclear power plants are required to build facilities to safeguard against terrorist attacks, such as standby control rooms so that reactors can still be controlled remotely even in the event of a plane being flown into a plant.

This is in order to prevent the recurrence of the massive amounts of radioactive material that was released into the air, ground and sea following Tokyo Electric Power Co losing control of key cooling and backup functions at the Fukushima Daichi nuclear facility, leading to core meltdowns in reactors after the plant was hit by an earthquake-triggered tsunami.

The ongoing crisis at the plant remains the worst nuclear crisis in the world since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.

The operators, under the new post-Fukushima guidelines, were given within five years to make the counter terrorism upgrades after their reactors cleared safety inspections and were brought back online.

But three power companies, Kyushu Electric, Kansai Electric and Shikoku Electric, said they need more time to implement the anti-terrorism changes at the five plants they collectively operate in western and southwestern Japan.

Seven reactors at four of the plants have already cleared the preliminary safety inspections and have been brought back online.

The power companies have said, however, that they will need between one and two-and-a-half years to complete the required upgrades, with the No. 1 reactor of the Sendai power plant in Kagoshima Prefecture facing the earliest suspension if the necessary work is not completed by March 2020.

The NRA has said it will listen to the operators' opinions and evaluate alternative measures the utilities have or will be implementing in terms of defending against possible acts of terrorism.

A preliminary investors' agreement has been signed between Romanian national nuclear company Nuclearelectrica and China General Nuclear regarding the completion of units 3 and 4 at the Cernavoda nuclear power plant. The unfinished units 3 and 4 at Cernavoda (Image: Nuclearelectrica)
The investors' agreement in the preliminary form was signed at the Ministry of Energy in Bucharest by Nuclearelectrica, CGN and CGN Central and Eastern Europe Investment (Romania) Co. The signing took place in the presence of Romanian Vice Prime-Minister Viorel Stefan; Minister of Energy Anton Anton; China's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Romania Jiang Yu; and Economic Counsellor of China to Romania Guan Gang.

The PIA was approved by Nuclearelectrica's shareholders during its General Meeting of Shareholders on 10 April. CGN has also completed its internal approval process of the agreement.

The agreement calls for the setting up of a joint venture project company as a "technical and operational platform" for the completion of Cernavoda 3 and 4, which will be 700 MWe Candu 6 pressurised heavy water reactors. Under the agreement, the joint venture will be established within the next 60 working days for an initial period of two years. CGN will hold a 51% stake in the project company, with Nuclearelectrica holding the remaining 49%.

Mr Anton said that "Reaching a consensus in the negotiation process, mutually advantageous for both parties, realised by the approval of Nuclearelectrica's shareholders of the investors' agreement in the preliminary form, is in actuality the effective initiation of the concrete measures to continue and develop of Cernavoda units 3 and 4. During the initial two-year duration of the new project company we will define and structure the model to continue the project, being in fact the first essential stage prior to the construction of the two units."

Mr Bian Shuming, general manager of CGN Romania Nuclear Power Co said that CGN is fully committed to working closely together with its Romanian partner on the successful development of the next phases of the project in line with the agreed principles.

Cernavoda is already home to two operating Candu 6 reactors supplied by Candu Energy's predecessor, Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd (AECL), and built by a Canadian-Italian consortium of AECL and Ansaldo. Unit 1 started up in 1996, but work was suspended on a further four units in 1991. Unit 2 was subsequently completed and has been in operation since 2007.

Two units of Kudankulam Nuclear Power perform below par

The two units of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project have generated far less power in the last financial year compared to the previous year. The Unit 1 has generated 36% less power in 2018-19 and Unit 2 has generated 22% less than the previous year as per the data available on NPCIL website. This is the first time both the units have together reported drop in power generation.

The Unit 1 has not generated power in the entire month of March and Tangedco sources said at any given time last year, only one unit was functioning. Set up at a huge cost, the units have been hit by various problems and NPCIL is not coming out in the open about the issues.

A senior NPCIL official said that “We had to take up maintenance issues in both the units and therefore the total power generated last year was less compared to the previous year. Both the units will restart in a few months." But he refused to detail the issues confronting the two units.

Tangedco gets more than 1000MW from the two units. A senior Tangedco official said that “The discom is dependant fully on private sector power companies or is purchasing from open market to make up for the loss from the nuclear power plants."

The official said that “Unfortunately, the NPCIL is not saying when the units will restart operation."

It has come to a stage where Tangedco has clubbed the Kudankulam power source along with renewable sources owing to the uncertainty in generation. “We are not able to prepare any schedule based on Kudankulam supply. It is as good as not being there,” said the official.

Since 2015-16, Unit 1 has generated 17,795 million units and since 2016-17, Unit 2 has generated 7,639 million units.

Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Plant Hits Its Biggest Milestone

Hinkley Point C has hit its biggest milestone yet on schedule. The completion of the base for the first reactor, known as “J-zero”, means that the construction of the nuclear buildings above ground can now begin in earnest. The final 9,000m³ of concrete was the largest concrete pour in the UK, beating a record set by the Shard in London. Reinforced with 5,000 tonnes of Welsh steel, the base has been under construction by the UK-French joint venture of Bouygues-Laing O’Rourke for six months.

Good progress and efficiency improvements means that the second Hinkley Point C reactor will hit its own J-zero moment in June 2020

Final contracts have now been signed for an innovative joint venture to install the pipes and cables at the power station. The MEH Joint Venture brings UK contractors Balfour Beatty, Cavendish Nuclear, Altrad and Doosan Babcock together to share expertise and incentivise collaboration and efficiency. The JV was influenced by the success of a single organisation carrying out this complex work during construction at Taishan, the EPR operating in China.

Pipework will be made by Bilfinger in Immingham at a modernised facility which will boost UK industrial capacity in this highly specialised area.

TEPCO to Decommission Fukushima Daini Nuclear Plant

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc will formally decide to decommission the Fukushima Daini nuclear plant after informing the prefecture's governor of its policy as early as this month. Excluding the nearby Daiichi, crippled by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster, it is the first time that the utility, also known as TEPCO, has decided to decommission a nuclear plant.

The decommissioning of all four nuclear reactors at Daini will likely require more than 40 years and some 280 billion yen ($2.6 billion) in costs, the source said. If realized, all 10 nuclear reactors in Fukushima Prefecture will be scrapped.

Closure of the Daiichi plant, which suffered core meltdowns at three of its six reactors, has already been decided.

After telling Fukushima Gov. Masao Uchibori about the policy, it may be formally approved at a TEPCO board meeting, scheduled at the end of this month, the source said.

The Daini complex was also hit by tsunami waves in the 2011 disaster and temporarily lost reactor cooling functions. But unlike the Daiichi plant, it escaped meltdowns.

Start up of Olkiluoto 3 Delayed by Six More Months Until July 2020

TEOLLISUUDEN VOIMA has revealed it has received an updated schedule for the start-up of Olkiluoto 3, the third plant unit at Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant in Eurajoki, Finland, from Areva-Siemens. According to the new schedule, the unit is currently expected to commence regular electricity production six months behind the previous schedule, in July 2020.

Areva-Siemens, the French-German consortium supplying the unit, announced this spring it will update the start-up schedule on grounds that modification outage work carried out at the site was progressing slower than expected.

The plant supplier has now stated that nuclear fuel will be loaded into the reactor in January 2020, that the unit will be connected to the national grid in April 2020, and that the unit will start regular electricity production in July 2020. The commissioning programme indicates that the unit will produce one to three terawatt hours of electricity with varying power levels during the period between first connection to grid and start of regular electricity production.

Mr Jouni Silvennoinen, the project manager at TVO said that “The re-baseline is now more exhaustive, which we believe will make it possible to improve project performance. The scheduling work was not only a schedule updating exercise, but it consisted of methodology to change the ways of working.”

He added that “Although, the completion of the plant unit will be further delayed, we are currently working to reach the fuel loading phase and to take over the OL3 EPR [a third-generation pressurised water generation] unit.”
