Qualification documents for the project of completion of Temelin NPP, 3&4, are submitted to the Czech Customer CEZ

The Czech-Russian Consortium Skoda JS a.s., Atomstroyexport JSC and EDO GIDROPRESS OJSC submitted to CEZ qualification documents for the project of completion of Temelin NPP Units 3 and 4.

The Consortium offers a European NPP project – MIR-1200 (Modernized International Reactor). MIR-1200 is simultaneously an NPP project and a cooperation model. The MIR-1200 project is based on a large-scale and long-term partnership of the Czech, European and world companies – leaders of their technological segments. The process solutions of the project stipulate localization in Czechia of up to 70% of the supply of the equipment, works and services. The MIR-1200 project will rely on more than half a century long experience of the Czech-Russian cooperation and it will ensure a contribution to further development of industrial and human resources of the Czech nuclear industry. Even at this stage of qualification selection the Czech-Russian Consortium has enlisted more than 20 major Czech suppliers of equipment and services.

The MIR-1200 project conforms to the Customer’s requirements; it possesses process, main equipment and fuel referentiality. The MIR project is based on the experience of operation of NPP with WWER reactors with the scope exceeding 1290 reactor-years. Nuclear power plants built in Czechia, Slovakia, Finland, Hungary and other European countries on the basis of the Russian technologies of light-water reactors of the WWER type have ones of the best in Europe and the whole world parameters of reliability and efficiency.

Environmental factors were of paramount importance during the development of the MIR-1200 project. Under the conditions of necessity to reduce discharge of greenhouse gases the MIR project is able to contribute to the assurance of energy preparedness, power and environmental stability of the world industry.
