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

[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced on the 27th that it has been selected as the final supplier for the "Cernavod? Nuclear Power Plant Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Voltage Stabilizer Supply" project commissioned by Romania Nuclear Power Company (SNN).

This is an equipment supply project worth approximately 300,000 USD. KHNP discovered technology that has been verified for performance and safety at domestic nuclear power plants, and entered the overseas market in cooperation with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The SMEs will be responsible for equipment design and manufacturing, while KHNP will handle project management and quality control.

The Cernavod? Nuclear Power Plant is a power plant operating in the eastern region of Romania and is a heavy water reactor type nuclear power plant, the same as Korea’s Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant. The item successfully contracted this time is a key facility of the nuclear power plant’s core system, the uninterruptible power supply system, which requires a high level of quality control. Since periodic replacement is necessary during the plant’s operation period, continuous supply is expected in the future.

This achievement is also significant as it follows last year’s consecutive wins in the supply of in-core nuclear instrumentation equipment and feasibility evaluation services for radioactive waste storage facilities in Romania. As a verified supplier in the Romanian nuclear power market, KHNP is strengthening the position of Korean nuclear power companies and is expected to greatly contribute to future project wins in Romania, such as tritium removal facilities and radioactive waste storage facility construction, in which KHNP is preparing to participate.

Jung Jae-hoon, President of KHNP, stated, "Based on excellent domestic nuclear power technology, we will diversify export products and use this achievement as a stepping stone to further diversify export markets." He added, "In particular, we will actively promote technology development support and overseas joint ventures to enable more SMEs to enter overseas markets."
