The work will extend the plant’s operational lifetime by four years The Cernavodă nuclear power station. Candu Energy, a member of Canada’s SNC-Lavalin Group, has won a $10.8m contract from Romania’s state-owned nuclear company Nuclearelectrica for engineering analyses and assessments on Unit 1 of the Cernavodă nuclear power station with the objective of extending its operational lifetime by four years.

Candu Energy said the contract is focused on the fuel channel and feeders assemblies with the objective of extending the operating life of the 650-MW Candu 6 plant by up to 245,000 effective full power hours (EFPH) from the original design life of 210,000 EFPH.

The extension will enable the plant to continue operating until it is ready for refurbishment in 2026.

Candu Energy said nuclear power plant refurbishments are large and complex undertakings which require an in-depth assessment of the condition of plant systems and equipment. In October 2019, Nuclearelectrica awarded SNC-Lavalin and its partner Ansaldo Nucleare the condition assessment work, which will determine the scope of repair and replacement of other equipment as part of the Cernavodă -1 refurbishment outage.
