Hitachi and GE to jointly develop next generation reactors

Japan Times reported that Hitachi and General Electric Co will jointly develop a new type of nuclear power plant with small modular reactors. Sources said that the two companies, longtime partners in the nuclear business, aim to commercialize the reactors, which they hope will be cheaper to produce and safer to run, by the 2030s. With construction of nuclear power plants stalled in Japan following the 2011 Fukushima crisis, Hitachi has been looking to expand its nuclear plant business overseas.

A small modular reactor can be mostly assembled at a plant and brought to a power plant site, cutting time and costs needed for the plant’s construction work.

A conventional nuclear plant usually costs about JPY 1 trillion (USD 8.9 billion) to build. Construction in Japan will now cost more after the government raised safety requirements in the wake of the meltdowns at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant triggered by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

Small modular reactors, though offering lower output, are designed to be installed underground to better contain radioactive materials in the event of an accident.

Wood wins contract from HNE for Wylfa Newydd nuclear power plant

Hitachi Nuclear Energy Europe (HNE) has given a contract to Wood to help in delivery of the 2,700MW Wylfa Newydd nuclear power plant of Horizon Nuclear Power in Wales. The Wylfa Newydd nuclear power plant project is being built in Isle of Anglesey in North Wales with an investment of £16bn. It is expected to begin operations in the mid 2020s, with construction likely to begin in 2020, subject to approvals.

HNE under an early contractor engagement (ECE) contract is supporting deployment of two UK Advanced Boiling Water Reactors (ABWR) reactors for the nuclear power plant, which will provide enough power to supply some five million UK homes.

Both HNE and Horizon Nuclear Power are subsidiaries of Hitachi.

Wood has been appointed as architect engineering support partner for the Wylfa Newydd nuclear power plant project. The company will be responsible for supporting HNE in its architect engineer role on technical specifications, procurement and design integration and also for managing interfaces with Horizon Nuclear Power.

Wood specialist technical solutions CEO Bob MacDonald said that “We are looking forward to working with Hitachi on this project which is so important to the future energy security of the UK. Being selected for this work is an indication of the deep and broad technical knowledge of our 2,000 nuclear specialists. Many are internationally recognised experts with wide experience of design integration and delivering optimized solutions.”

Wood said that its appointment is likely to transition into a 10-year framework, extending up to the start of commercial operations, once the Wylfa Newydd nuclear power plant passes further key milestones during 2019.

The company, in turn, selected Black & Veatch to help execute its contract. Black & Veatch will handle the provision of technical services to support contracts needed for the engineering, procurement and construction of the new UK nuclear power project.

Black & Veatch business development (Europe) director Peter Hughes said that “This win marks a key milestone in our journey to diversify the client base and markets Black & Veatch serves in the UK. Wylfa Newydd also meets our goal of broadening the career development opportunities we can offer our professionals. Throughout 2018 we have been announcing wins in the UK energy market. With Wylfa Newydd, we are ending the year on a high.”

Czechs may delay plan to boost nuclear power capacity - Minister

Reuters reported that Czech government may delay its decision on building new reactors at state-controlled utility CEZ's two nuclear power plants. The report quoted Czech Industry Minister Marta Novakova as saying that "The decision about building nuclear units can't be done under pressure and we don't want to be put under pressure from suppliers or other entities.” She added that "The finance ministry is also analysing the risk of potential court disputes.”

The project to expand CEZ's nuclear power plant fleet is the biggest ever Czech energy investment. CEZ operates two plants at Dukovany and Temelin that together covered 38 percent of Czech energy needs last year.

Earlier in October, Ms Novakova told Reuters that the government aimed to pick the best financing model for the multi-billion dollar construction by the end of this year. She also said that any model must respect the utility's minority shareholders.

Russia’s floating nuclear plant starts its first reactor

Bellona reported that Russia’s floating nuclear power plant, long a controversial dream of the country’s atomic energy industry, has finally become an actual nuclear power plant after its first reactor achieved a sustained chain reaction at its mooring in Murmansk harbor last week. The news came in a release to RIA Novosti, a semi-official Russian newswire, which on Friday quoted an unnamed official with Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear energy enterprise.

Tthe official was quoted as saying that “The physical launch of the reactor unit on the starboard side of the floating power plant Akademik Lomonosov occurred on Friday. The reactor unit reached the minimum controlled power level at 17:58 Moscow time.”

A series of reactor tests will now follow, according to the official, and the second reactor on the port side of the nuclear barge will be brought to minimum power in the coming days.

After the reactor tests, the Akademik Lomonosov will be towed through the Arctic to the far eastern Siberian port of Pevek, a town of 100,000 people in Chukotka, were it is slated to go online in the summer of 2019. The plant is expected to replace the energy supplied by the Bilibino nuclear power plant – the world’s four northernmost commercial reactors – which Rosatom will begin decommissioning in 2021.

For 12 years Russia has been pursuing its audacious experiment in floating nuclear power, fording a river of doubt, economic downturns and environmental outcry – and confounding critics who said the plant was an expensive publicity stunt that was doomed to failure.

Despite dodging such predictions, the plant remains as improbable as ever – a huge, ungainly nuclear solution in search of a problem.

Since its rocky and often secretive beginnings in the early 2006, Russia has attempted to sell the plant as a cure-all for energy woes in the world’s more remote regions.

And while the plant has spawned a number of imitation plans in other it has failed to draw the windfall of orders Rosatom said would justify its $480 million cost. Rosatom officials themselves have conceded that this price tag is to high to bring the floating plant, as designed now, into serial production.

Yet the corporation has done much in recent months to draw back the veils of mystery it draped over the plant through much of its construction. The apprehensive eyes of the world’s media were upon the plant last April when it was finally towed into the open ocean from St Petersburg’s Baltic Shipyard en route to Murmansk.

Bin Salman launches Saudi Arabia's first nuclear plant project

Aljazeera reported that Saudi Arabia's crown prince has launched a project to build the first nuclear research reactor in the kingdom. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS, launched seven strategic projects in renewable energy, atomic energy, water desalination, genetic medicine and the aircraft industry during his visit to King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology.

The two most significant projects include a nuclear research reactor and a centre for the development of aircraft structures.

In March, MBS announced his country's readiness to develop nuclear weapons in the event that Iran heads in that direction.

He told US broadcaster, CBS, in an interview that "Saudi Arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb, but without a doubt, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible.”

Incidentally, the US, which withdrew from a landmark nuclear deal with Iran signed in 2015, reimposed oil and financial sanctions against Iran starting Monday.

Last year, the International Atomic Energy Agency said the Saudi government had invited proposals for the construction of two nuclear power reactors to boost the country's energy mix.

The kingdom is considering building 17.6 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear capacity by 2032, the equivalent of about 17 reactors, making it one of the biggest projects globally.

Construction begins on China first floating nuclear plant

ECNS reported that construction on a floating nuclear power plant worth 1.4 million yuan (USD 202,000) has begun in Yantai, East China's Shandong Province, which will reportedly be the country's first floating nuclear power plant. The first platform of the project will be put into use in 2021. It will be able to provide clean energy to coastal cities, islands, offshore work platforms, polar and remote regions. The construction is a major step to guaranteeing China's marine strategy and security.

The China National Nuclear Corporation is in charge of the project, the report said, citing announcements made at the 2018 nuclear power industry forum in Yantai on Thursday.

At the start of the year, the CNNC and Yantai government signed an agreement to cooperate on a clear energy composite supply platform and pool-type low-temperature reactor, according to the CNNC website.

Bulgaria targets 2019 to pick strategic investor for Belene nuclear plant

Sofia Globe reported that Bulgaria’s Government approved on November 7 a draft framework for the selection process of a strategic investor for the Belene nuclear power plant, with Energy Minister Ms Temenouzhka Petkova indicating the process could take 12 months in a best-case scenario. The draft will now be presented to Parliament, which earlier this year gave the Cabinet a mandate to hold talks with potential investors, but stopped short of lifting the 2012 moratorium that halted all work and shelved the Belene project.

Ms Petkova said that the process will start with a request for proposals. These will target a number of potential investors, beyond the three companies that have previously shown interest, she said.

Although she did not name the companies, she said that the interested parties were from China, Franch and South Korea. China National Nuclear Corporation is believed to be one interested party, with media reports also claiming that France’s Framatome was interested in a contractor role

An invitation would also be extended to Russia’s Rosatom, the parent company of Atomstroyexport, which was picked to build the two 1000MW reactors.

Ms Petkova after the Cabinet meeting, as quoted by Bulgarian National Radio said that “We will also invite potential large-scale electricity consumers, who might show interest in joining the project, whether as minority shareholders or through electricity purchase contracts.”

Any offers would be evaluated by the Energy Ministry, which would be followed by direct talks with interested parties. If all stages listed in the draft are navigated successfully, a shareholder agreement could be signed within a year, allowing the new Belene project company to start seeking financing for construction, she said.

Bulgaria’s contribution will be to spin off all Belene assets from state-owned electric utility NEK – the site, where more than one billion euro was spent to prepare for construction, and equipment delivered by Atomstroyexport, which Bulgaria had to take after losing an arbitration suit in 2016.

Toshiba set to liquidate UK nuclear NuGen - Report

Financial Times quoted people familiar with the company as saying that Toshiba is set to liquidate UK nuclear arm NuGen, dealing a hammer blow to plans to build a new plant at Moorside in Cumbria. The Japanese conglomerate, whose board is meeting is almost certain to take the decision to wind up NuGen after all avenues to sell the unit were exhausted.

A source close to NuGen told the Financial Times that “It is 80 per cent likely that Toshiba will decide at the board meeting to wind it up.” The source added that “There were a number of options being explored [to sell NuGen], none of which have come to fruition or could now come to fruition.”

The decision to liquidate NuGen is likely to be confirmed in the early hours of the morning, UK time, once the Toshiba board has met, the person said, though he cautioned that the conglomerate might delay the decision to a later date.

China likely to triple nuclear power capacity by 2030 – Report

Reuters reported that China's total nuclear capacity is expected to reach 120-150 gigawatts (GW) in total by 2030, a senior industry official said more than triple the current rate but still lower than previous forecasts after a slowdown in new approvals. The prediction was made by Mr Yu Jianfeng, chairman of the government-run China National Nuclear Corporation during an event at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai.

Mr Yu said CNNC was still planning to spend USD 12 billion on overseas procurement over the next five years and he urged global partners to participate in the future development of China's nuclear industry. He said that "China is expected to become the world's largest nuclear power nation, and the development of the China National Nuclear Corporation will be more open and international.”

As China embarked on massive economic expansion around three decades ago, nuclear was seen as a crucial part of efforts to reduce reliance on use of polluting, climate-warming fossil fuels. The world's second-biggest economy launched an ambitious reactor building programme using technology from France, the United States, Russia and Canada.

But though some predicted capacity could reach at least 200 GW by 2030, Japan's Fukushima disaster in 2011 forced policymakers to rethink. Repeated delays to key projects have also slowed the pace of construction.

After deciding to focus on bigger and safer "third generation" reactors like the U.S. AP1000 and Europe's EPR, China vowed to raise total installed nuclear generation capacity to 58 GW by the end of 2020, and put another 30 GW under construction.

The total now stands at 39 GW but the government has not approved any new conventional nuclear projects in three years. It is now expected to fall short of its 2020 targets.

China-designed UK nuclear reactor plan clears second assessment stage

Reuters reported that the first Chinese-designed atomic reactor for use in Britain moved a step closer to fruition on Thursday as the UK nuclear regulator said it had completed the second stage of its assessment of the technology. General Nuclear Services, an industrial partnership between China General Nuclear Power Corp and French utility EDF, hopes to use the design at a nuclear plant planned to be built at Bradwell in Essex, eastern England.

CGN intends to make a number of investments in Britain’s nuclear power sector, most notably the new Hinkley Point C project in southwest England.

Britain’s Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) said the Chinese HPR1000 reactor had completed stage two of its generic design assessment (GDA) - the formal process for approving a new reactor.

The four-stage assessment process is expected to take around four years in total and was started around two years ago. The project will now move to stage three of the process.

The ONR said in a statement that “The regulators have not identified at this stage of the GDA process any fundamental safety, security or environmental issues that would prevent the issue of a Design Acceptance Confirmation.”

EDF Energy said the approval is a “key step” for a new nuclear power station at Bradwell, which will use a British version of the HPR1000 reactor following full approval.

The company added that however, the project is still in an early pre-planning stage, which will involve years of investigative work and public consultations before detailed proposals are produced to allow a planning application to be made.

Poland sees first nuclear power production after 2030

Reuters reported that Poland expects its first nuclear power plant to start operating after 2030 as the country aims to cut its use of coal in producing electricity. Deputy Environment Minister Michal Kurtyka said that the east European country, which hosts global climate talks in December, generates around 80 percent of its electricity from coal in outdated power plants, many of which will have to close in the coming decade. Mr Kurtyka told Reuters that "The discussion over launching the nuclear power plant has accelerated. It is mostly about the international partnership. We are able to finance the construction on our own, but we have to draw the technology from somewhere.”

He added Poland would talk with France, the United States, Japan and South Korea about nuclear technologies.

Mr Kurtyka, also a former deputy energy minister said that "The energy minister is also in such talks with the US side. The recent signals show that they are very advanced (...) I assume that (the) nuclear power station will start generating power after 2030.”

During a visit to Poland earlier in November, US Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Polish Energy Minister Krzysztof Tchorzewski signed a joint declaration of enhanced cooperation over energy security, including the nuclear power plant.

The Energy Ministry is expected to publish Poland's long-term energy policy by the end of the year, likely at the U.N. climate conference in Katowice, the heart of the coal industry in the south of the country.

Armenian energy ministry finds extension of nuclear power plant for ten years possible

ARKA News Agency reported that The Armenian Nuclear Power Plant’s operation may be extended for another ten years, Garegin Baghramyan, the acting energy infrastructures and natural resources minister, said Wednesday at a news conference. In his words, similar nuclear power plants already have a 60-year operation practice. Before extending the power plant’s life for ten years, he said, it is necessary to carry out a careful examination of the reactor.

Mr Baghramyan said that “If it will be fit for continuing its operation, then it will be possible to ask the International Atomic Energy Agency for permission to extend the nuclear power plant’s operation. Of course, the key matter will be safety of its operation, but the safety system of the nuclear power plant has already been improved several times.”

The acting energy minister stressed that the plant’s life can be extended only with taking into account the state of the reactor.

Atomic energy should remain the pivotal segment in the country.

Land acquisition for Jaitapur Nuclear plant completed - Minister

Times Of India reported that the land acquisition process for the Jaitapur nuclear power project is complete, energy minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule said in a written reply to the legislative council on Thursday. According to a government official, almost all PAPs (project-affected people) have accepted compensation. But the state has stayed or cancelled 11 thermal power projects planned earlier.

The Jaitapur project is touted as one of the world's largest. Compared to 200MW per reactor in many of India's currently operational nuclear power plants, Jaitapur will have 6 reactors of 1.650MW each. At 9,900MW, Jaitapur would produce more power than all nuclear power plants in operation in India (about 7.000MW). Energy ministry sources said that "The delegation of the company EDA (Electricite de France) recently met CM Devendra Fadnavis and assured they would start work on the project by year-end. Though it will take seven years to complete, the initial phases are expected to be in place in 3-4 years.”

Replying to a question by Mr Anant Gadgil on opposition from locals, Bawankule said the project is being developed by Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd and the state has been assisting in land acquisition, which stands complete. The last report had suggested around 84% of landowners at the site in Konkan had agreed to receive compensation.

Earlier, the project had invited criticism from opposition parties, including BJP's partner Shiv Sena, and environmentalists who said nuclear power plants were being phased out after the Fukushima disaster and more and more countries were adopting renewable sources.

Rusatom Service completes modernization of turbine unit at Armenian nuclear power plant

Rusatom Service, a unit of Russia's Rosatom that services nuclear power plants abroad, said that it has completed the modernization of the equipment of one of the two turbine units at Armenia’s nuclear power plant in Metzamor as part of a project designed to extend the service life of the facility. It said the modernized turbine unit was connected to the power grid of Armenia last week. During a series of tests, the equipment reached the peak capacity of 238 MW.

Rusatom Service said that the modernization launched on June 1, 2018, involved modernization of the turbine, replacement of separators, steam superheaters, the turbine generator, the replacement of conductors and the transformer. To accomplish this task, about 400 Russian specialists worked around the clock at the facility together with their Armenian colleagues.

It said over the past few years the service life of more than 2,500 components, systems and structures have been extended at the plant. Also heavy and large equipment has been supplied (a total of over 70 railway cars of modern, high-tech equipment).

The press release said that "This was made possible thanks to the professionalism, skillful organization and well-coordinated work of the Russian and Armenian specialists.”

It said also the project to extend the service life of the plant will be completed by the end of 2021, as a result Armenia will receive a nuclear power plant with modern equipment, and with a safety close to world standards.

The project to modernize and extend the service life of the Armenian NPP is being implemented as part of an intergovernmental agreement between Armenia and Russia.

The Armenian Nuclear Power Plant is located some 30 kilometers west of Yerevan. It was built in the 1970s but was closed following a devastating earthquake in 1988. One of its two VVER 440-V230 light-water reactors was reactivated in 1995. Armenian authorities said they would build a new nuclear power plant to replace the aging facility. The new plant was said to operate at twice the capacity of the Soviet-constructed facility. The plant currently generates some 35 percent of Armenia's electricity.

Belgian nuclear plant may breach EU law - Judge

Euractiv reported that a European Court of Justice advocate-general has cast doubt on Belgium’s decision to extend the life of one of its ageing nuclear power plants, suggesting that environmental impact assessments may not have been carried out properly. In an opinion issued on 29 November, Advocate-General Juliane Kokott insisted that extending the operating lifespan of two of the Doel plant’s reactors without a proper audit of environmental concerns means EU rules “have been infringed”.

Mr Kokott concluded that the Espoo and Aarhus conventions, international treaties governing transboundary environmental issues and public participation in decision-making processes, had not been respected.

But Mr Kokott also suggested that “overriding grounds of public interest” like security of power supply legitimately played a part in the Belgian authorities’ decision and said keeping the decision on the extension “is not ruled out”.

Doel reactors 1 and 2, located near the Belgian-Dutch border, were scheduled to go offline permanently in 2015, in keeping with a decision made in 2003 to shut down nuclear plants that reach 40 years of age.

But the government decided later in 2015 to extend both reactors by 10 years, provided that operator Electrabel would invest €700 million in improving the security of the atom smashers.

Argentina wants Russian built nuclear power plants

Tremont Herald reported that Argentina wants Russian built nuclear power plants an agreement on strategic partnership in the nuclear power generation sphere is to be signed by Moscow and Buenos Aires during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to the South American country. According to Russia’s ambassador to Buenos Aires Dmitry Feoktistov, it will envisage the possible construction of a major NPP designed by Russia. He said that “Russia is ready to bring a ready-made project and its own financing to Argentina adding that we can build such a power plant, operate it and sell electricity to Argentine partners at a certain fixed price.

Global demand for Russian-built nuclear power plants is on the rise. Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom expects to sign foreign contracts worth USD 26 billion this year for the construction and maintenance of nuclear facilities. Russia is constructing NPPs in China, India, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, and a number of other countries. Earlier this month, Russia agreed the construction of new units at the Tianwan nuclear power plant in China which is the biggest joint NPP project between the two nations.

AEC approves restart of No 1 reactor at second nuclear plant

Focus Taiwan reported that the No 1 reactor at the second nuclear power plant in New Taipei's Wanli District is expected to restart soon, following the completion of its annual maintenance. Atomic Energy Council said that Taiwan Power Co. (Taipower) submitted an application on Nov. 13 to restart its No. 1 reactor, after it was taken offline on Oct. 11. The reactor failed to pass its initial inspection after on-site inspectors discovered leaks on the ceiling of the reactor's building.

A report was later filed by Taipower to the AEC on Nov. 23 that explained the cause of the leak and detailed repairs done to resolve the issue.

The AEC finally gave the green light to restarting operations on Friday after receiving a final safety assessment review from its inspectors.

A restart date has yet to be confirmed by the AEC.

The last time work was carried on the second power plant was on June 7, when its No. 2 reactor was taken offline for a brief safety inspection, but operations resumed within a day.

The inspection was scheduled because the vibration calibration of the reactor's side bearings needed to be adjusted, according to Taipower.
