Atomstroiexport completes two-year warrantee cycle at Tianwan NPP
MOSCOW, September 23 (Itar-Tass) -- A protocol confirming completion
of the warrantee operation period of the second reactor at China's Tianwan
nuclear power plant has been signed in China. The ceremony took place in
Lyanyungang on Wednesday, the Moscow office of China's Atomstroiexport
company told Itar-Tass.
The signing of the protocol ended talks between Atomstroiexport
representatives and the Jiangsu Nuclear Power Corporation in connection
with the end of the warrantee period of the reactor's operation.
"Under the protocol the two year warrantee operation cycle of the
second reactor is considered to have been completed," Atomstroiexport
said. "A similar act concerning the initial warrantee operation period of
the first reactor was signed last June."
Atomstroiexport said the warrantee period confirmed the NPP's
reliability.
"Both generating units have shown stable performance at the nominal
contract capacity of 1,060 megawatts and high technical and economic
parameters, the company said. The Russia-designed Tianwan nuclear power
plant is the safest of all of China's NPPs. Since it went on stream, the
power plant produced over 30 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.
This is the largest economic cooperation project Russia and China have
ever launched. Its first unit was built under an inter-government
agreement of December 18, 1992. Atomstroiexport and the Jiangsu Nuclear
Power Corporation concluded the contract in 1997. The Russian side was
responsible for the design work, equipment and materials supplies,
building and assembly work, commissioning and personnel training. The
first unit consists of two water-pressurized 1,000-megawatt VVER-1000
reactors.
Atomstroiexport is Russia's leading state-run engineering company
subordinate to the Rosatom corporation, which implements
inter-governmental and commercial agreements for the construction of
nuclear power facilities outside Russia. Atomstroiexport currently works
on contracts accounting for about 20 percent of the world's market of
nuclear power plant construction projects.
