Slovak power utility Slovenské Elektrárne (SE) hosted a two-day forum, the 5th annual VVER Fuel Forum in Bratislava. The forum on nuclear fuel for VVER 440 and VVER 1000 reactors, which was sponsored by Westinghouse, was attended by representatives of utilities that are potential customers for Westinghouse VVER fuel. These included Ukraine’s Energoatom, Finland’s Fortum, the Czech Republic’s CEZ, Bulgaria’s JE Kozloduy, and Hungary’s nuclear plant operator MVM Paks. The participants exchanged experiences on the procedure for implementing fuel from Westinghouse for operating VVER-440 and VVER-1000 reactors.

Slovak power utility Slovenské Elektrárne (SE) has signed a contract with US-based Westinghouse to supply of nuclear fuel Slovakia’s NPPs. This followed an international tender for the supply of nuclear fuel and related services throughout the supply chain for the production of nuclear fuel. SE says the aim of the agreement is to diversify the supply of nuclear fuel for VVER 440 power plants in Slovakia.

The agreement begins what Fortum said would be “a long-term process” with the aim to assess potential construction of SMRs in Finland.
One possible option for the location would be Tornio region in northern Finland, where Outokumpu’s largest mill is situated.
In the first phase, the goal is to identify potential business models and technical solutions for further development. Any potential investment decisions will be made at a later stage, Fortum said.
“Decarbonising heavy industries is a prerequisite for reaching carbon-neutrality in Europe and this requires significant amounts of clean energy,” Fortum president and chief executive officer Markus Rauramo said.

Spain’s Enusa Industrias Avanzadas and Westinghouse Electric Sweden AB have formalised a cooperation agreement regarding the manufacture of VVER-440 fuel. Under this agreement, which entered into force on 1 December, the two companies will collaborate exclusively in the manufacture of VVER-440 fuel for the countries that currently operate this type of reactor. Enusa has launched all the necessary activities to reinstall a production line for this product at its Juzbado factory. This is expected to be completed and licensed in 2023 to make possible fuel deliveries from the beginning of 2024.
