AREVA to bags order for Cernavoda plant in Romania

31 January 2012: AREVA was awarded a contract by the Canadian group SNC-Lavalin Nuclear to provide filtered containment venting systems (FCVS) for Units 1 and 2 at CNE Cernavoda nuclear power plant in Romania. The contract is part of a global cooperation agreement between AREVA and SNC-Lavalin for CANDU-specific reactor designs. The project is planned for completion over the next 27 months.

The FCVS technology is part of a global Safety Alliance framework through which AREVA provides a range of safety analysis, upgrades and enhancements to help utilities meet post-Fukushima Safety requirements. Installed in more than 50 nuclear power plants worldwide, AREVA’s filtered containment venting solution can be used in all types of reactors: Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) including Russian type (VVER), Boiling Water Reactors (BWR), and CANDU plants and its compact and modular design enables a convenient retrofit into existing plant.
