South Korea’s state-run Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) said on Monday (6 May) it had signed an agreement with Canada’s Candu Energy to speed up the preparations to compete for a refurbishment project for Unit 1 at the Cernavodă nuclear power station in Romania.
KHNP said it signed the infrastructure engineering services contract with Candu in line with their goal to participate in the retubing and refurbishment project at Cernavodă-1, a Canada-designed 650-MW Candu 6 unit that began commercial operation in 1996.
The project centres on replacing key components and building infrastructure for an additional 30 years of operation until 2060.
