Candu Energy, part of Canada’s SNC-Lavalin Group, has been selected by Romanian nuclear utility Nuclearelectrica SA (SNN), operator of the Cernavoda NPP, to conduct design and engineering services for the unit 1 Candu reactor at the facility, as the first step to a future life extension project. As part of the 2.5-year contract, worth roughly CAD64 million ($49.5m), SNC-Lavalin will provide engineering and early procurement services for retubing work to replace key components of the reactor core: fuel channels, pressure tubes and feeders. This would see the reactor’s operating life extended to 2060. Cernavoda 1 supplies 10% of Romania’s electricity.
