BHEL despatches 40th Nuclear Steam Generator to NPCIL

Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd has dispatched its 40th Nuclear Steam Generator to the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. The firm said that the steam generator, to be installed in NPCIL’s Rajasthan Atomic Power Project, was flagged off from BHEL’s Trichy plant in Tamil Nadu.

BHEL has been catering to the nation's nuclear programme since 1976 by way of design, manufacture, testing, and supply of critical nuclear components such as reactor headers, steam generators, other heat exchangers and pressure vessels.

The first stage of the indigenous nuclear power programme of the country has attained maturity with 18 operating pressurised heavy-water reactors (PHWRs).

Twelve PHWRs accounting for 74 per cent of the nuclear power capacity are equipped with BHEL-supplied steam turbine generator sets -- 10 units of 220 Megawatt (MW) each and two units of 540 MW.

Taiwan shuts down 1 of 6 nuclear reactors

Kyodo reported that Taiwan shut down one of its six nuclear reactors as its 40 year operating license expired, adding uncertainty to the island's power supply outlook. State-owned Taiwan Power Co said the No. 1 reactor of the No. 1 nuclear power plant in Shimen, New Taipei City, was retired from service on expiration day, while the plant's other reactor is scheduled to be retired next July.

It said the decommissioning process, involving the storage of used reactor fuel rods, is estimated to take about 25 years.

The company originally planned to store the fuel rods at an outdoor dry storage facility, but cannot do so due to the opposition of the New Taipei city government. If they cannot be discharged, the decommission process cannot begin.

Taiwan has two other nuclear power plants, each with two reactors. Currently, only three of the island's five reactors are operational, as two of them are under maintenance.

Construction of a fourth plant, also in New Taipei City, was suspended in July 2015 for three years over safety concerns in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.

Since then, construction has not been resumed because the policy of the Democratic Progressive Party, elected to power in 2016, has been to phase out nuclear power by 2025.

In the wake of Wednesday's No. 1 power plant's reactor shutdown, pro-nuclear power activists want the government to reconsider extending the life of the five remaining ones.

The operating licenses of the reactors at the No. 2 nuclear power plant in Wanli, New Taipei City, will expire in December 2021 and March 2023, and those of the reactors at the No. 3 facility in Pingtung, southern Taiwan, in July 2024 and May 2025.

After Taiwanese voters on Nov. 24 approved a legally binding referendum to repeal legislation that would have phased out nuclear energy by 2025, the government of President Tsai Ing-wen has promised to come up with a new energy policy within two months.

It has set the goal of increasing the percentage of electricity generated by natural gas to 50 percent and renewable energy to 20 percent, while decreasing that of coal power to 30 percent by 2025.

On Nov. 24, voters also approved referendums to phase out thermal power plants by an average of 1 percent annually and to stop construction of coal-powered plants and expansion of existing ones.

Belarusian nuclear power plant's 330kV switchgear powered up

BelTA reported that the 330kV gas-insulated switchgear of the Belarusian nuclear power plant has been powered up by electricity from the first external line Postavy-1, the ASE Company press service told BelTA. The company is the general designer and general contractor for the project to build the Belarusian nuclear power plant. The company represents the engineering division of the Russian state nuclear industry corporation Rosatom. The switchgear is part of the power plant’s general electric equipment and is designed to distribute and control the flow of electricity. While the nuclear power plant is under construction, the switchgear is used to provide reliable power supply for startup and commissioning operations. Once the Belarusian nuclear power plant goes online, the switchgear will be used to feed electricity to the national power grid.

A lot of work has been done to link the 330kV switchgear to the high-voltage line, which connects the Belarusian nuclear power plant and the power substation Postavy-1. “It will allow us to launch full-scale startup and commissioning operations. We will be able to perform hydraulic tests and circulation flushing. The output of the construction site power grid is insufficient for that,” noted Vitaly Polyanin, ASE Company Vice President and supervisor of the Belarusian nuclear power plant construction project.

Within the next few weeks backup transformers will be turned on and all the facilities of the first power-generating unit will be switched to permanent power lines. The 330kV switchgear will be used to feed power to the second unit in mid-2019.

The backup transformers will get power from the 330kV switchgear in mid-December. The main transformers will get power in early March 2019 for the sake of performing the hot phase of the cold and hot operation testing of the reactor unit.

The Belarusian nuclear power plant is being built using a Russian design featuring WER-1200 reactors near Ostrovets, Grodno Oblast. The first power-generating unit is scheduled for commissioning in 2019, with the second one to go online in 2020.

Bulgaria plans to pick investor for nuclear plant by end of 2019

Reuters reported that Bulgaria plans to open a tender to pick a strategic investor for its revived Belene nuclear power project on the Danube next month and to pick a winner by the end of 2019. China's state-owned CNNC, France's Framatome - a unit of EDF - and state-run Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co have expressed interest in the project to build two 1,000 megawatt nuclear reactors at Belene.

Bulgaria Energy Minister Ms Temenuzhka Petkova said an invitation to become a strategic investor would also be extended to Russia's Rosatom.

Sofia cancelled the Belene project in 2012 after failing to find investors and facing pressure from the United States and the European Union to limit its energy dependence on Russia, which had been under contract to build the plant.

In June, parliament ordered the government to revive the project.

Bulgaria plans to keep a blocking stake in the venture, Petkova said. She added that the government would prefer an investor who plans to build the plant within eight years for about 9 billion euros (USD 10.23 billion).

Ms Petkova told a parliamentary hearing that "We have a site on which the necessary infrastructure is in place and we believe the conditions exist for this project to be completed in a shorter term than 10 years.”

Bangladesh PM hopes to build 2nd nuke power plant

The Daily Star reported that Bangladesh will begin seeking bids for its second nuclear power plant project as soon as next year to expand and diversify the country's power supply amid its prolonged economic boom. As for the proposed second plant, the government is still searching for land. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina told Nikkei Asian Review in an exclusive interview published that she hopes to build the second nuclear power plan in the south, one of the country's poorest regions. Bangladesh will consider inviting proposals after the election, once the land is secured.

Quoting local media as saying, Nikkei reports that China, which has stepped up involvement in Bangladesh in recent years under its flagship Belt and Road Initiative, has expressed interest in building the plant.

According to the Bangladesh Power Development Board, natural gas accounts for 58 percent of Bangladesh's 17,340 megawatts of installed power generation capacity. But with domestic gas production declining, the country plans to significantly increase imports of liquefied natural gas as well as employ nuclear power and renewable energy to meet demand, which is growing by an estimated 10% annually.

Hasina has embarked on an ambitious infrastructure programme since taking office in early 2009 -- she was also prime minister from 1996 to 2001. The number of power plants has grown to 121 from 27, while access to electricity has risen to 93 percent of the 166 million population from 47 percent. She has pledged 100 percent access by the middle of next year.

The country's first nuclear plant is being built in Pabna's Rooppur.

The PM said the facility's two reactors, with output capacity totalling 2,400 megawatts, "will start producing electricity in 2024".

Russia hopes to participate in construction of nuclear power plant unit in Czech Republic

Tass reported that Russia Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov hopes that Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom will be invited to participate in the construction of a new unit of one of nuclear power plants in the Czech Republic. He said that "We did not discuss this topic today, although it is always on the agenda. We are grateful to our partners for purchasing fuel from Rosatom for their nuclear power plants in the Czech Republic. I hope that we will continue constructive cooperation in this field. In the future, of course, we expect to be invited to participate in the construction of additional power units.”

In late August, the Industry and Trade Minister of the Czech Republic said that before the end of the year the government of the republic is to decide on how to finance the construction of a new unit of one of the country’s nuclear power plants (Temelin or Dukovany).

The Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade is considering such options as building a new nuclear unit by one of the state-owned companies with the attraction of foreign investors or by creating a commercial company that the Czech government will control through representatives in the governing agencies.

The Czech nuclear power plants Temelin and Dukovany were built with the active assistance of Russia. The Russian state corporation Rosatom previously expressed readiness to take part in a tender for the construction of a new power unit in the Czech Republic. The same interest was shown by the US company Westinghouse, the Chinese China General Nuclear Power, the French EDF, the South Korean KHNP, and the French-Japanese joint venture Mitsubishi Atmea.

Regulators approve sale of Vermont Yankee nuclear plant

AP reported that Vermont state regulators have approved the sale of the closed Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant to a demolition company. The Vermont Public Utility Commission issued saying the primary benefit of the sale to NorthStar is the company plans to start decommissioning the plant no later than 2021, decades sooner than the current owner Entergy Corp planned.

PUC Commissioner Margaret Cheney in a written statement said that "We are satisfied that approving the transfer and moving forward with the accelerated cleanup schedule for the Vermont Yankee site is in the best interests of the people of Vernon and the State of Vermont.”

NorthStar CEO Mr Scott State told Vermont Public Radio that the timetable for decommissioning was a big factor in winning regulatory approval. He said that "I think we brought the certainty of decommissioning and obviously we accelerated the schedule some decades, thanking the commission for the decision and state agencies and others who participated in the process.”

An attorney with the Conservation Law Foundation criticized the deal.

Mr Sandra Levine in a prepared statement said that "We are disappointed that Vermont communities will be saddled with a risky transfer of the contaminated Vermont Yankee site. The transfer of the site fails to provide common sense protections for local families and businesses, and it will leave Vermonters on the hook if something goes wrong."

Vermont Yankee closed in 2014 after operating for 42 years.

China powers up next-generation nuclear plant

Economic Times reported that French energy giant EDF and its partner China General Nuclear Power Group announced that they have powered up the world's first next-generation EPR nuclear reactor, a major milestone for the industry. The Taishan 1 project has been under development for many years and is the world's first EPR reactor - which uses a pressurised water design - to enter into commercial service. The two EPR reactors at the Taishan nuclear power plant will be the most powerful in the world when fully completed and can supply 5 million Chinese users, the companies said in a press release.

EPR reactors promise advances in safety and efficiency over conventional reactors while producing less waste.

Yet EDF has faced serious problems rolling out the technology and has managed to sell just a handful of the reactors as construction problems piled up.

The Taishan project is a joint venture between majority shareholder CGN and minority shareholders EDF and regional Chinese utility Yuedian.

Mr He Yu, Chairman of China General Nuclear Power Group said that "As the world's first EPR project, Taishan offers valuable lessons and solutions for the construction of similar reactors worldwide.”

The new plant will prevent the emission of around 21 million tons of carbon dioxide a year.

Enec completes major testing at UAE nuclear plant

The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation said it has successfully completed cold hydrostatic testing at Unit 3 of the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant in Abu Dhabi. The testing, which is a crucial step towards the completion of Unit 3 of the 4-unit Barakah plant, incorporated the lessons learned from Units 1 and 2 and represents a significant milestone in the development of the UAE Peaceful Nuclear Energy Programme, said a statement from Enec.

Prior to the commencement of CHT, Unit 3’s Nuclear Steam Supply Systems were flushed with demineralised water, and the Reactor Pressure Vessel Head and Reactor Coolant Pump Seals were installed.

During the CHT, the welds, joints, pipes and components of the reactor coolant system and associated high-pressure systems were verified.

As a part of Cold Hydrostatic Testing, the pressure inside Unit 3’s systems was increased to 25 percent above what will be the normal operating pressure, demonstrating the quality and robust nature of the Unit’s construction.

Mr Mohamed Al Hammadi, CEO of ENEC said that "The successful completion of the CHT ensures that Unit 3’s coolant systems and high-pressure components meet the highest international standards of quality and safety, as per the regulations of the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation. I am proud of the progress being made at Barakah, and the completion of these tests approximately one year after the completion of the same testing on Unit 2 demonstrates the experience we have gained from building four identical Units at the same time.”

Throughout the testing process, inspection teams from Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power, the Korea Electric Power Corporation (Kepco) along with Enec and Nawah Energy Company (Nawah) commissioning oversight and quality surveillance personnel, performed detailed system inspections, verifying no component and piping system leakage.

Earlier this year, Enec and Kepco successfully completed all major construction work including major concrete pouring, installation of the Turbine Generator, and the internal components of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) of Unit 3, which paved the way for the commencement of testing and commissioning.

The project at Barakah is progressing steadily and as of the end of October 2018, Unit 3 is more than 86 percent complete, while overall progress rate of Units 1 to 4 is more than 91 percent complete, said a statement from Enec.

Kaiga Nuclear Plant sets world record in operation

The Kaiga Atomic Power Station in Karnataka, developed using Indian technology, has set the world record for the longest uninterrupted operation. The 220 megawatt unit, operated by Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd, has produced power continuously for 941 days, breaking the world record of 940 days held by Heysham-Unit 2 of the United Kingdom. The record is valid across all types of nuclear power plants across the world.

The Kaiga unit is part of the first phase of India’s indigenous nuclear power program. India has been forced to come up with its own nuclear power technology due to sanctions imposed by foreign powers after its nuclear bomb tests in the 70s.

Under the country’s indigenous program, the first phase comprises Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors or PHWR using uranium, most of which has to be imported due to a lack of uranium resources in the country.

India will then use plutonium obtained from these PHWRs to operate Fast Breeder Reactors or FBRs. These Fast Breeder Reactors will in turn create a ‘waste’ product called Uranium-233.

In the third and final stage, Uranium-233 will be combined with Thorium in advanced reactors. India has enough Thorium to run these reactors for 10,000 years.

As of now, India is still in stage 1. It’s first full-scale reactor of the second stage the prototype fast-breeder reactor has faced repeated delays in achieving criticality, and is now expected to do so next year.

The first stage of the indigenous nuclear power program of the country can be considered mature, with 18 operating PHWRs.

Last year, the government also announced an ambitious plan to scale up the PHWR program by adding 10 new plants of 770 MW each.

One of the significant players in India’s indigenous nuclear program is BHEL Ltd, which is the supplier of the main plant equipment for Kaiga Atomic Power Station, including the 220 MW Steam Turbine Generator set.

Belgische kerncentrale pas in 2019 operationeel

De Belgische kerncentrale Doel 4 blijft tot het einde van het jaar onbeschikbaar. Dat heeft uitbater Engie Electrabel zaterdag meegedeeld. De Belgische kerncentrale werd vrijdag gecontroleerd stilgelegd, nadat onverwachts een pomp in het niet-nucleaire gedeelte van de centrale was stilgevallen wegens een verstopte filter. De centrale was op 13 december net heropgestart na andere problemen.
De centrale werd deze zomer stilgelegd, nadat betondegradatie was vastgesteld in het plafond van het bunkergebouw van de reactor. Dat meldt de Belgische krant De Tijd.

Kritieke maanden
De kerncentrale heeft een vermogen van iets meer dan 1000 megawatt. Eerder zei de beheerder van het hoogspanningsnet Elia dat het stopzetten van de energieproductie in Doel 4 'op korte termijn geen impact heeft op de bevoorradingszekerheid'.

De maanden januari en februari worden wel beschouwd als de meest kritieke maanden voor de energiebevoorrading in België. Doel 4 zou dan beschikbaar moeten zijn.

Waalse kernreactor mag weer opgestart worden

De Waalse kernreactor Tihange 3 gaat binnenkort weer elektriciteit leveren. De Belgische instantie die toezicht houdt op de zeven kernreactoren in het land, heeft exploitant Engie Electrabel maandag toestemming gegeven om de reactor weer op te starten.

Het Federaal Agentschap voor Nucleaire Controle (Fanc), de toezichthoudende instantie, zegt dat de reparaties die de afgelopen maanden zijn uitgevoerd, in orde zijn. Er zijn voldoende garanties dat de reactor op een veilige manier kan worden herstart, aldus het agentschap.

Levensduur
Tihange 3 is de grootste van de drie reactoren in de kerncentrale langs de Maas bij Hoei. De reactor is in 1985 opgeleverd en had oorspronkelijk een levensduur van dertig jaar, maar zal volgens de huidige plannen tot 2025 in bedrijf blijven.

Eerder dit jaar kwam bij een inspectie aan het licht dat de betonnen constructie om de reactor technische mankementen vertoonde. Er was betonrot en een deel van de wapening ontbrak.

Vliegtuiginslag
Fanc zegt dat bij de herstelwerkzaamheden is gebleken dat de problemen met de wapening meevallen. 'De berekeningen toonden aan dat de bestaande wapening er nog steeds voor zorgt dat het bunkergebouw voldoende bestand is tegen externe gebeurtenissen, zoals bijvoorbeeld een vliegtuiginslag.' Volgens Fanc is met Engie Electrabel afgesproken dat er over anderhalf jaar een nieuwe dakplaat op de reactor komt.

Het opnieuw in bedrijf nemen van Tihange 4 moet helpen voorkomen dat België tijdens de wintermaanden met een elektriciteitstekort wordt geconfronteerd. Van de in totaal zeven reactoren in België werken er op dit moment volgens de Vlaamse pers maar twee.

Kaiga nuclear reactor makes world record of 945 days of non stop operation

Economic Times reported that Karnataka’s Kaiga nuclear power reactor has completed non stop 945 days of operation on December 10, 2018. This is world record, and speaks volumes about the robust and state of art nuclear power technology of India. Scretary of the Atomic Energy Commission, Mr Arun Srivastava, said that there were three more reactors which had also completed over two years of working non-stop. He was in city for the alumni meet of his college, the Laxminarayan Institute of Technology and was speaking at a meet the press programme.

The country already has 6,680MW production capacity reactors which include four 1,000MW pressurized heavy water reactors, four 700MW, two 7,000MW and one fast breeder reactor. It has a plan of adding ten more PHWRs of 7,000MW capacity.

Mr Srivastava said that the present government announced construction of ten PHWRS in May last year thus fast tracking the nuclear power programme of the earlier government. There has been no change in nuclear power programme policy of the country.

The Indo-US deal has helped has helped India procure uranium and increase the capacity factor of the programme. Mr Srivastava said that India has a very big three-stage nuclear power programme. Since India has huge thorium reserves it will use thorium in third stage to convert it into Uranium 233 which can be used to generate energy. But that will happen about 40 years or more from now.

Talking about the safety of the nuclear reactors Mr Srivastava said that though all the Indian reactors were full proof as fast as safety of the reactor is concerned, safety will always continue to be a challenge for the nuclear energy programme of any country.

India is keeping pace with all developments in world and hence is a part of the ITER or (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject, which will be the world’s largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment. It is the only fusion reactor in world unlike all reactors which work on fission process.

Engie start twee Belgische kernreactoren opnieuw op

De Belgische elektriciteitsmaatschappij Engie Electrabel neemt op 1 januari twee van de vijf tijdelijk stilgelegde reactoren in de kerncentrales in Doel en Tihange opnieuw in gebruik. Dat melden Vlaamse media. Dat moet helpen voorkomen dat België tijdens de wintermaanden met een elektriciteitstekort wordt geconfronteerd.

Het gaat om de reactoren Doel 4 en Tihange 3. Doel 4 is de jongste en grootste reactor van de kerncentrale in Doel, nabij Antwerpen. Engie startte deze reactor twee weken al eens opnieuw op, maar moest deze korte tijd later alweer stilleggen. Het gevolg van een verstopt filter, schreef dagblad De Standaard.

Een week geleden werd bekend dat Engie van de autoriteiten toestemming heeft gekregen om ook de reactor Tihange 3 van de centrale in Hoei opnieuw aan het elektriciteitsnet te koppelen. Deze grote reactor lag een groot deel van het jaar stil vanwege betonrot en het ontbreken van een deel van de wapening.

De twee Belgische kerncentrales in het Vlaamse Doel en het Waalse Hoei hebben samen zeven reactoren. Ze zijn gebouwd tussen het einde van de jaren 60 en halverwege de jaren 80. De levensduur was aanvankelijk begrensd tot 2015, maar de centrales zullen volgens de huidige afspraken in bedrijf kunnen blijven tot 2025.
