Two Chinese nuclear utilities have signed agreements that would see them cooperate in the construction and financing of new Candu units at Romania\u2019s Cernavoda plant and at Argentina\u2019s Atucha plant.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

China Nuclear Power Engineering Co (CNPEC) has signed a \u201cbinding and exclusive\u201d cooperation agreement with Candu Energy Inc for the construction of two more reactors at the Cernavoda nuclear power plant in Romania.<\/p>\n

The agreement, signed in Vancouver yesterday, follows a letter of intent signed by CNPEC\u2019s parent company China General Nuclear (CGN) and Romanian national nuclear company Nuclearelectrica last November for investment in and development of Cernavoda units 3\u00a0and 4.<\/p>\n

Cernavoda is home to two operating Candu 6\u00a0pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) supplied by Candu Energy\u2019s predecessor, Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd (AECL), and built by a Canadian-Italian consortium of AECL and Ansaldo. Unit 1\u00a0started up in 1996, but work was suspended on a further four units in 1991. Unit 2\u00a0was subsequently completed and has been in operation since 2007. The two reactors currently generated almost 20% of Romania\u2019s electricity.<\/p>\n

Efforts to resume work on Cernavoda 3\u00a0began in 2002, and a new project company, EnergoNuclear, was established in 2009\u00a0to oversee the completion of units 3\u00a0and 4. Initial partners GDF Suez, CEZ, RWE Power and Iberdrola subsequently withdrew, and the company is currently 84.65% owned by Nuclearelectrica. The Romanian state has since then been looking for new investors in the project to enable Nuclearelectrica to reduce its share.<\/p>\n

Argentine agreement<\/h4>\n

The signing of the Romanian agreement comes days after China and Argentina signed a new high-level agreement towards construction of a third PHWR at the Atucha plant in Argentina.<\/p>\n

The accord was signed as part of a meeting last week in Buenos Aires between Chinese president Xi Jinping and Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. It provides for nuclear utility Nucleoel\u00e9ctrica Argentina\u00a0\u2014 holder of rights to Candu technology\u00a0\u2014 to be designer, architect-engineer, builder and operator of the new reactor.<\/p>\n

Through the agreement, China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) would assist by providing goods and services under long-term financing. CNNC operates two Candu 6\u00a0units at its Qinshan plant in China\u2019s Zhejiang province.<\/p>\n

The latest agreement follows the signing of two agreements by Nucleoel\u00e9ctrica Argentina and CNNC in February covering operations and technology, as well as the use of Chinese goods and services in Argentine exports. Under the first of those agreements, Nucleoel\u00e9ctrica and CNNC will cooperate on issues related to reactor pressure tubes, including engineering, fabrication, operation and maintenance. It will also cover the manufacture and storage of nuclear fuel, licensing, life extension and technological advances. This agreement is aimed at both operating and future nuclear power plant projects. The second agreement calls for the transfer of Chinese technology to Argentina. Under the accord, Argentina could act as a technology platform, supplying third countries with nuclear technology incorporating Chinese goods and services.<\/p>\n

A July 2012\u00a0nuclear cooperation accord between Argentina and China involved studies for a fourth nuclear power plant, financed by China, and in transfer of fuel fabrication and other technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
