This morning (local time), a contract for the equipment improvement project for Cernavoda Unit 1 was signed in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
The Chernavoda 1 reactor is a CANDU heavy water reactor (the same type as the Wolsong Nuclear Power Plant), and was built in 199
The plant is scheduled to begin commercial operation in 2016, with its operating license expiring in 2027. The Romanian Nuclear Corporation is carrying out facility improvement projects, such as replacing aging equipment, with the aim of continuing operation until 2030.
The total project cost is about 2.8 trillion won (about 304.5 billion yen), of which KHNP's services will be about 1.2 trillion won (about 120.5 billion yen). CanDo Energy
The Korean Nuclear Power Plant will be responsible for the construction of the main and auxiliary equipment, as well as the construction of infrastructure such as a radioactive waste storage facility.
KEPCO KPS, Doosan Energy, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, Samsung C&T and others will participate in the construction as KHNP's partner companies.
"This contract marks the first time that a Korean nuclear power company has participated in a project to continue operating a nuclear power plant overseas," KHNP said.
"Through this, nuclear power plant export methods will be diversified into the export of heavy water reactor-type equipment and construction and continued operation projects," he emphasized.
