South Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power is about to participate in the renovation of Romania's nuclear power plant... A large order worth 2.5 trillion won will be received

An international consortium involving Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (Han Suwon), a subsidiary of Korea Electric Power Co., Ltd., which operates nuclear power plants, has announced plans for a 2.5 trillion won (approximately 277.5 billion yen) nuclear power plant renovation project in Romania.
The company is said to be close to receiving orders. If the order is confirmed, the Yoon Seo-gyul (Yun Seok-yue) administration will be able to successfully export nuclear power plants worth more than 1 trillion won, following the ELUDA nuclear power plant in Egypt.
It becomes. In addition, the target areas for export of nuclear power plants will be expanded from the Middle East (UAE) and Africa (Egypt) to Europe, and the project will be the first large-scale project in the field of "nuclear power plant refurbishment," where demand will continue to grow.
It has been evaluated as being of great significance as it will be exported. On the 12th (local time), Han Suwon was at the Romanian Nuclear Energy Corporation (SNN) office building in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, to meet Canada's CAND
Announced that it has signed an agreement with U Energy and Italy's Ansaldo Nuclear to form a consortium to jointly carry out equipment renovation project at the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 in Romania.
Ta. With this agreement, the three companies, including Hansuwon, will begin full-scale preparations for receiving the order for the Cernaboda Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 facility renovation project ordered by SNN, including preparing business proposals. by the orderer
After discussing specific business conditions, SNN reportedly decided to enter into a voluntary contract with the Hansuwon Consortium.
In the industry, a business consortium was formed with the active involvement of SNN, which effectively
It is believed that the order has been received. Romania has completely refurbished Unit 1 of the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant, a heavy water reactor that began operation in 1996 and whose operating permit expires in 2026.
The company has been looking for an additional operator for 30 years. This time, the entire reactor system and turbine generator system, including the pressure pipes of Unit 1 of Cernaboda Nuclear Power Plant, will be removed and replaced with a new one.
change. In addition, large-scale renovations will be carried out, including the construction of several new infrastructure facilities, including a storage facility for radioactive waste.
The construction work will be a ``renovation'' project, in which a new house will be built, leaving only the skeleton of the building.
It is at a level similar to that of 'Mu'. The project cost has yet to be finalized, but Hansuwon expects it to reach 2.5 trillion won. At Hansuwon, overall construction including pressure pipe replacement, which is the core of the reactor system, and radioactive waste were carried out.
Responsible for infrastructure construction such as waste storage facilities. The other two companies will be responsible for the design of the reactor system and turbine generator system, as well as the purchase of materials and equipment, respectively.
Initially, CANDU Energy and Ansaldo Nuclear were responsible for the reactor system of Unit 1 of the Cernavoda nuclear power plant.
The team shared the design and construction of the turbine and generator system. In order to maintain the existing reactor type, the two companies will mainly participate in the design field, but Hansuwon will be a new participant and will be in charge of overall construction.
Hansuwon expects that around 1 trillion won, or about 40% of the expected project costs, will be allocated to the company. Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 is operated by South Korea.
It is a CANDU6 (700 MW) reactor type, the same as Units 2, 3, and 4 of the Tsukishiro Nuclear Power Plant. Hansuwon completed equipment renovations in 2009, including replacing pressure pipes at the now-closed Wolseong Unit 1.
He credited himself with saying that his experience in successfully carrying out the project served as the basis for his participation in this consortium. The pressure tubes in heavy water reactors are where nuclear fission takes place, and play the same role as the reactors in light water reactors.
Hansuwon is involved in equipment improvements for nuclear reactor systems, turbines and generator systems, supply of materials and equipment, and construction of infrastructure facilities not only for large companies such as Doosan Enable, Hyundai Construction, and Samsung C&T, but also for small and medium-sized domestic companies.
・The plan is to involve medium-sized companies in the project, which is expected to be an opportunity to inject vitality into the nuclear power industry ecosystem. The Yun administration, which has adopted the slogan of ``abolishing nuclear power and becoming a reformer of the nuclear ecosystem,'' aims to
The goal is to export 10 nuclear power plants by 2020. In August of last year, after entering the current administration, Han Suwon constructed a nuclear power plant in Egypt's ELUDA, costing 3 trillion won, mainly consisting of turbine and generator system facilities.
We received an order for the project. This marks the first time in 13 years that Japan has paved the way for the export of large-scale nuclear power plants, following the export of the Barakah nuclear power plant from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2009. Currently, additional sources are being added to countries such as Poland and the Czech Republic.
We are proceeding with export and export. The company's president, Hwang Ju-ho, said, ``Han Suwon received an order to construct tritium removal equipment for the Cernavoda nuclear power plant in June last year,
``We will continue to work closely with the client and the consortium members to do our best to successfully conclude the final contract.''
