projects globally as well as in Finland as
the utility Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO)
is looking to build a fourth reactor at its
Olkiluoto nuclear power station.
As part of the new MOU, SSF
will support GEH in making sure
that the ESBWR’s advanced digital
instrumentation and controls (I&C)
systems can be licensed in Finland.
SSF will review the design, and identify
and recommend system architectural
modifications necessary, if any, for the
ESBWR design to comply with Finland’s
special regulatory requirements.
In order to meet TVO’s project
expectations and provide the most
competitive bid for an ESBWR project,
the MOU with SSF is part of GEH’s
ongoing strategy to expand its local
nuclear supplier network in Finland and
complement its proven global supply
chain.

Waste Treatment
NUKEM Technologies GmbH
,
Alzenau, Germany, has been tasked with
turn-key design and supply of processing
facilities for a new waste treatment centre
to be constructed at Kursk NPP in Russia.
This project is NUKEM’s contribution
to safe and environmentally-friendly
disposal of radioactive waste currently
stored and still to be generated at Kursk
NPP. NUKEM will be subcontracted
by Russian NIKIMT-Atomstroy, the
successful bidder in an open tender
for turn-key construction of the waste
treatment centre.
This waste treatment centre will
be designed to process all low and
intermediate level solid waste as well as
ion-exchange resins generated at Kursk
NPP. State-of-the-art techniques will be
utilized for decontamination of metal
waste to release most of the material for
unrestricted reuse. The remaining waste
volume will be reduced using thermal
and mechanical techniques, and then
conditioned into a form suitable for
final disposal. The engineering concept
proposed byNUKEMforwaste processing
is based on proven technologies.
