Contract Confirms the AP1000® Reactor as the Most Advanced and Proven Technology Available to Serve the Need for Competitive, Clean and Secure Energy

Cranberry Township, PA, June 14, 2023 – Westinghouse Electric Company today announced it signed a Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract with Bulgaria’s Kozloduy NPP-Newbuild for a new AP1000® reactor to be located at the Kozloduy site. Work is commencing per the agreement to assess Bulgarian industry and the existing infrastructure at the Kozloduy site for its potential to support the construction of an AP1000 reactor.

“We are pleased to begin work to deliver the world’s most advanced, Generation III+ reactor technology to provide clean and reliable baseload energy for our customer and the people of Bulgaria,” said David Durham, Energy Systems President for Westinghouse. “We thank Kozloduy NPP-Newbuild and the Bulgarian Parliament for their confidence in our industry-leading, Nth of a kind technology. We commend Kozloduy NPP-Newbuild for their thoughtful approach to best-in-class project delivery that will ensure high localization of the work.”

Earlier this year, both entities signed a memorandum of understanding establishing a joint working group to plan deployment of the AP1000 reactor in Bulgaria. The working group is evaluating regulatory, licensing and design requirements and developing a streamlined execution path in support of Bulgaria’s energy strategy. The FEED contract is the first step in delivering the AP1000 reactor project.

There are currently two Russian-designed VVER-1000 reactors in operation at the Kozloduy site. Westinghouse signed a 10-year agreement in December 2022 to supply nuclear fuel to one of the units starting in 2024. The fuel will be supplied out of Westinghouse’s fabrication site in Västerås, Sweden and is the only fully Western option to Russian supply.

The AP1000 advanced reactor is the only operating Generation III+ reactor with fully passive safety systems, modular construction design and has the smallest footprint per MWe on the market. In addition to one AP1000 reactor operating and another nearing completion at the Vogtle site in Georgia, four AP1000 units are currently setting operational performance records in China with six additional reactors under construction. Poland recently selected the AP1000 technology for its nuclear energy program and nine units have been announced for Ukraine. The technology is under consideration at multiple other sites in Central and Eastern Europe, the United Kingdom, and in the United States.

EnergoService has completed a stage of the project “Replacement of portal monitors at Checkpoints-1 and Checkpoints-4” at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant

Posted by admin on

The GEM™-5 portal monitors from Mirion Technologies have been successfully installed at the Checkpoint-4 of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant. These monitors are designed to detect potential radioactive contamination of personnel passing through the checkpoint. They offer the latest gamma contamination detection capabilities to ensure reliable and accurate monitoring.

Advanced algorithms for “rapid tracking” of background trends provide optimal performance in any radiation environment. The GEM™-5 monitors are fully compliant with the requirements of the IEC61098 standard and have the capability to use an algorithm based on Gaussian/Bayesian statistics, which is in accordance with the ISO 11929:2019 standard.

If contamination is detected, a visual and audible alarm is triggered, and the display shows the quantity and location of the contamination. The system records a database with date and time stamps, indicating the number of measurements performed, the parameters used, error messages, etc. The GEM™-5 monitors are robust, reliable, and extremely easy to operate.

EnergoService extends its gratitude to the personnel of the Kozloduy NPP for their trust, commitment to the implementation, metrological assurance, and commissioning of the GEM™-5 monitors. We appreciate the excellent cooperation during the execution of this initial stage of the contract.

The management of EnergoService also expresses gratitude to colleagues from “EQE Bulgaria” AD and “Atomenergoremont” AD, who provided invaluable assistance during the installation of the monitors and related project activities.
