ITER, CNPE CONTRACT

ITER, CNPE CONTRACT

WNN - 08 October 2019 - A contract for Tokamak machine assembly for the ITER International Fusion Energy Organisation signed by a consortium led by China Nuclear Power Engineering Corporation (CNPE) is the biggest nuclear energy project contract that Chinese companies have ever bid for in the European market.

Tokamak Assembly Contract 1 (TAC1) was signed in Beijing on 30 September by the consortium of CNPE; China Nuclear Industry 23 Construction Company Ltd; Southwestern Institute of Physics; Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences ASIPP; and Framatome. The TAC2 contract has been awarded to the Dynamic SNC consortium of Ansaldo Nucleare; Endel Engie; Orys Group ORTEC; SIMIC; Ansaldo Energia; and Leading Metal Mechanic Solutions SL.

The ITER Organisation decided earlier this year to divide the current stage of the ITER project - machine and plant assembly up to first plasma - into a total of nine major assembly and installation contracts to permit better schedule and cost control throughout the projects, and to aid risk management. The decision to award two TAC contracts to different contractors was made to preserve peer competition at the same time as protecting the organisation in the case of contract default. Each contract covers well-defined and distinct machine assembly scope, and purposefully minimises the interfaces between providers, it said.

The TAC1 assembly contract covers the cryostat and cryostat thermal shield; magnet feeders; the central solenoid, poloidal field and correction coil magnets; and cooling structures and instrumentation. The TAC2 contract covers the main vessel and ports, sector sub-assembly with toroidal field coils and vacuum vessel thermal shielding, and welding.

"These are major contracts for the ITER Organisation," said ITER Director General Bernard Bigot. "We have carefully prepared more than 1200 engineering work packages for the mechanical installation of the ITER machine components and planned the assembly sequences; we are pleased we have found highly qualified and motivated partners for the execution of the work. We look forward to collaborating with world-renowned industry specialists for the on-time and to-specification assembly of one of the world's most challenging, promising and important scientific instruments."

An initial preparatory period dedicated to ensuring a common and thorough understanding of the technical and management requirements and constraints, the roles of different project actors, and the physical workspaces, is now underway. Both consortia are developing their on-site organisation and teams, and creating detailed implementation processes and procedures, the ITER Organisation said.

Yu Jianfeng, chairman of CNPE parent China National Nuclear Corporation, said the contract was the largest nuclear energy project financial contract that Chinese companies had bid for in the European market and was also the first time that Chinese nuclear energy enterprise had successfully participated in international science projects in the form of general contracting.

МИРОВЫЕ АТОМНЫЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ
По мнению генерального директора Госкорпорации «Росатом» Алексея Лихачёва, для того, чтобы формировать энергетическую повестку будущего, современные энергетические системы должны стать более гибкими и клиентоцентричными, чтобы отвечать запросам потребителя. «Мировая атомная отрасль сегодня становится фабрикой новых технологий. Это и IT-технологии, и суперкомпьютеры, и новые материалы. Это ядерная медицина, новые типы электрогенерации, в том числе – ветроэнергетика. Мы не только видим современную повестку и участвуем в ней, мы формируем эту повестку. А новые технологии – это то, что делает жизнь людей лучше, комфортнее и безопаснее», – заявил А. Лихачёв.

Согласно новым прогнозам на период до 2030 года в худшем случае генерирующие мощности сократятся примерно на 8%, а в лучшем — возрастут на 25%. На период до 2050 года в худшем случае прогнозируется падение на 6%, а в лучшем — рост на 80%. По сравнению с прошлым годом в новой оценке на период до 2050 года прогнозные цифры в лучшем случае меньше на 33 ГВт (эл.), а в худшем — больше на 15 ГВт (эл.).

CLEAN NUCLEAR POWER
Nuclear reactors are the unsung heroes as we set out to respond to the climate change challenge. The need for nuclear energy has never been greater - there simply is no other energy source which can deliver deep decarbonisation within the necessary timeframes.
