Candu Energy, part of the Canada-based SNC-Lavalin Group, has won a $65m contract to carry out pre-project work for the lifetime extension of Unit 1 of the Cernavodă nuclear power station in southeast Romania.

The work is in preparation for the upcoming Cernavodă-1 refurbishment project, which would see the plant’s operating life extended to 2060.

Candu Energy specialists will carry out design and procurement engineering work needed for design modifications and recommendations arising out of a “condition assessment” for the refurbishment of Unit 1. The company will also design new infrastructure and buildings needed to support reactor retubing activities.

Within the project, SNC-Lavalin will work with Italian power engineering company Ansaldo Nucleare, which will supply engineering services for the balance of plant activities. Other key supporting organisations include US-based Sargent and Lundy, Romania’s CITON and General Electric Steam Power, who are expected to supply engineering services associated with the refurbishment.
