Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Wins Contract for Nuclear Power Plant Equipment Supply Project in Slovenia

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced on the 21st that it has won the contract to supply equipment for a nuclear power plant in Slovenia.

KHNP stated that through an international open competitive bidding process, it was selected as the final supplier of the magnetic foreign substance removal equipment for the condenser (a device that cools steam back into water) at the Kr?ko Nuclear Power Plant, commissioned by the Slovenian Nuclear Power Company (NEK).

This equipment was jointly developed by KHNP and the domestic small and medium-sized enterprise Daedong PI in 2010, and a patent was registered for the device. Its performance was proven by installation at Kori Units 1 and 2.

The overall project management will be carried out by KHNP, equipment design and manufacturing by Daedong PI, and installation will be conducted in cooperation with local Slovenian companies.

KHNP expects that by securing this equipment contract, it will expand the nuclear power export market and create opportunities to additionally export domestically developed equipment and operation and maintenance services to the Kr?ko Nuclear Power Plant, which has the same reactor type as Kori Unit 2.

Jung Jae-hoon, President of KHNP, said, "This is a model case of win-win management with SMEs, achieving results by cooperating with small and medium enterprises throughout the entire export process from product promotion to contract signing," and added, "We will actively promote technology development with domestic SMEs and overseas market entry through country-specific tailored export strategies."
