Dutch utility Delta has announced that it has postponed making a decision on whether to build a second reactor at the existing Borssele site by two to three years. Meanwhile the government has approved the construction of a replacement for the Petten research reactor.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Delta said that it has informed its shareholders that plans for a new reactor had been put on hold due to \u201ca combination of the financial crisis, the high investment required for a nuclear power plant, the current investment climate and overcapaity in the electricity market combined with low energy prices.\u201d It added that its decision was also influenced by uncertainty about Europe\u2019s emissions trading system and the allocation of carbon dioxide emission rights. \u201cThese uncertainties are currently too great for a project of this magnitude,\u201d Delta concluded.<\/p>\n

However, the company said that the project will resume once the situation improves. In the meantime, Delta said that it plans to continue investing in new generating capacity and \u201cremains convinced\u201d that nuclear energy is an \u201cessential factor\u201d in securing an electricity supply that is not dependent on imported fossil fuels and offers low long-term costs while significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions.<\/p>\n

Delta first announced its plans for a new plant in September 2008, but did not formally launch the process to seek government approval to build a new nuclear power plant until June 2009. The company had been expected to submit its permit application by the end of 2011, but this was postponed. Under its original plan, Delta proposed starting construction of a 1000\u20131600\u00a0MWe reactor in 2013, with operation set for 2018.<\/p>\n

The existing Borssele plant was previously jointly owned by Delta and Essent through the EPZ operating company. However, German utility RWE agreed to buy Essent in 2009\u00a0and Essent\u2019s share of EPZ was then placed into a new company\u00a0\u2014 Energy Resources Holding (ERH)\u00a0\u2014 owned by the provincial and municipal authorities comprising Essent\u2019s original shareholders. Alongside Delta\u2019s proposed new plant at Borssele, ERH also announced similar plans for expanding the plant. In September 2010, it applied to build a new nuclear plant there with a capacity of up to 2500\u00a0MWe, with construction to start around 2015\u00a0and operation in 2019. Following the May 2011\u00a0buyout of ERH, RWE was reported as offering to underwrite 20% of Delta\u2019s new build project.<\/p>\n

Delta noted that, with the delay in a decision on the new Borssele unit, a new plant would not be operational there until 2020\u00a0at the earliest. However, Delta said, \u201cThere are several options that will involve a shorter implementation time than nuclear power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Petten replacement approved<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Dutch government has given its approval for the construction of a replacement for the ageing High Flux Reactor (HFR) at Petten. The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation announced the cabinet\u2019s decision on 20\u00a0January. The ministry said that the government and the province of Noord-Holland would each provide \u20ac40\u00a0million ($52\u00a0million) for the design, procurement and licensing procedure of the Pallas reactor.<\/p>\n

Paul de Jong, Pallas project director, commented, \u201cThe Pallas project team has worked hard during the last three years on the preparation for implementing the pallas project. This decision means that we can continue with the next project phase. We are certainly ready for that.\u201d The Pallas reactor could be operational in 2022, the ministry noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe European call for tenders and the licensing and permits process will be started soon,\u201d the Nuclear Research and Consultancy Group (NRG), which operates HFR, said.<\/p>\n

Since it became operational in September 1960, the 45\u00a0MW HFR at Petten has been largely shifted from reactor materials testing to fundamental research and the production of medical radioisotopes. The reactor has for a long time supplied about 60% of Europe\u2019s and 30% of the world\u2019s supply of medical radioactive sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
