Grid Connection for New Russian Reactor

The second reactor of Russia’s Volgodonsk Nuclear Power Plant is now in the adjustment process into the regional electricity network, which reaches 35% of generating capacity. This reactor is set for commercial operation by the end of this year.
The 1000 Mwe reactor operation started in the morning, January 21, 2010 and the reactor reached a minimum level of control power (about 1%) on the next day. The power gradually increased to reach 35% capacity, a stage where nuclear power plants capable of producing enough steam to run turbines and so capable of running in the normal mode of operation.

Head of Russia's Nuclear Regulator Rostekhnadzor , Nikolai Kutyin, said on a visit to the site that the reactors was ready to be connected to the grid. He added that the conditions of the license for the construction of Volgodonsk 2 have been met and there is no infringement on the Russia’s nuclear energy regulations.
The reactor was connected to the United Energy System (UES) grid in a ceremony attended by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. And it now adds an additional 300 MWe of power to the region.

Earlier this week, a team of international experts began to conduct pre-operational review of Volgodonsk 2 for the sake of the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO). The team will look at operational areas include: organization and administration, maintenance, technical workers, radiation protection, training and experience on staff and fire safety.
The Volgodonsk plant is better known as the Rostov. Four 1000 MWe VVER pressurized water reactors were planned in the early 1980s and some construction done before the work was completed.
The construction of Volgodonsk 1, which is also V-type VVER 320 began in 1978 and operating in March 2001.

Frazer-Nash Helps Horizon Advance British Plans

July 16, 2010

Horizon Nuclear Power has provided to the Engineering Consultant Frazer a five-year framework contract for the provision of regulatory and licensing services related to its plans to build new nuclear power plants in the UK.

Horizon is a 50-50 joint venture between RWE nPower and Eon UK. This company has purchased land for the construction of new nuclear power plant at the existing location at Oldbury, Gloucestershire and Wylfa located on the Isle of Anglesey. Both the locations have been identified as a suitable place for the construction of nuclear power plant. This indicated the draft National Policy Statement on nuclear British government announced in November 2009.

Horizon proposes to build the first reactor at Wylfa, which will be operational in 2020. Application development planning at Wylfa is scheduled for the year 2012, and will be followed by a planning application for a second nuclear power plant in the Oldbury , after Wilfa construction begins. However, the progress remains adjusted in the right market conditions, especially those associated with more certainty about the price of carbon. Last Horizon expects to be able to reach 6600 MWe of nuclear generating capacity in both locations

A business manager at Frazer-Nash, Paul Deeran, said that his company has a significant role in developing of the next generation of nuclear power stations in England.

John Baker, head of regulatory and licensing in the Horizon, commented that the location permit is a prerequisite for developing a capacity of about 6000 MW by 2025.

Meanwhile, Horizon has not decided yet which of the two available reactor designs it will be built. Areva EPR and Westinghouse’s AP1000 are involved in the Generic Design Assessment process, to get the decision to build in June 2011. Both the companies have been involved in a competitive bidding process that will decide the winner at the end of the year.

I don’t Walk to Get Recognition

As usually, my senior blogger friend, Brian Gardner, told us an interesting story as I re-written below.
On August 6th of 2010, I will once again lace up my shoes for the Chicago Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk, and start an emotional journey that will take me 60 very long and grueling miles. This walk will be hot, this walk will be painful. There will be sweat, and there will be tears.

By the time that you finish reading this, two more women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and another one just died from it. In fact, while I am walking those 60 miles, 110 women will die from this horrible disease. 110 families will lose a mother, or a daughter, or a best friend.

That is why I walk. I don’t walk to get recognition. I don’t walk because I want people to think of me a hero. I walk so that a little girl can grow up and spend time with her mother. I walk so that a mother can watch her daughter walk down the aisle at her wedding. I walk so that I don’t have to console another friend while a part of her life was taken too soon. I walk because I am physically able to, while others are not. I walk because I have been given so much, and I want to give back as much as I can.

I walk, because I cannot walk away… and when my time on earth comes to an end, I want everyone to know… I was here…
