UK nuclear trade association, the Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) has applied for a justification decision for newcleo’s lead-cooled fast reactor design, the LFR-AS-200. The application makes the case that the benefits of clean, firm, flexible power from the LFR-AS-200 would far outweigh any potential risks. NIA says these are” rigorously controlled by robust safety features, including passive safety systems, built into the design and incorporated into the operating arrangements, in line with the UK’s regulatory requirements”.

Candu Energy, a member of Canada’s SNC-Lavalin Group, and its consortium partner Ansaldo Nucleare of Italy, have been awarded a CAD13.9m (€9.5m) contract by Romania’s national nuclear company Nuclearelectrica for engineering services at the 650 MW Cernavodă -1 nuclear power reactor.
Work under the contract will include condition assessments of systems, structures and components for the Candu unit, which began commercial operation in December 1996.
Completion of the work will form the basis of the refurbishment for the plant. The project is a key step for Nuclearelectrica in preparation for the life extension of Cernavoda-1, which was the first Candu plant in Europe and is expected to operate for another 30 years.
