TVEL, PUBLISHED 17.01.2019

TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom has supplied a range of nuclear fuel components for ETTR-2 research reactor in Egypt.

The items were manufactured by Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant (NCCP PJSC, an enterprise of TVEL Fuel Company), which is the key Russian producer of nuclear fuel for research reactors.

The shipments have been carried out under several contracts between NCCP PJSC and the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority, which were signed earlier in 2018, with coordination of TVEL JSC.

The supplied components will be used for fabrication of nuclear fuel for the ETRR-2 reactor at the Nuclear Research Center in Inshas.

The Argentinian-design multipurpose nuclear reactor ETRR-2 is used for various researches in particle physics, materials engineering, nuclear medicine, as well as for production of stable isotopes.

"The project accomplishment is the result of the efficient cooperation between the customer's and the supplier's project teams. TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom considers Egypt an important and promising market. In 2017, TVEL's contract for nuclear fuel supplies to the future El Dabaa NPP came into force. The contract covers supplies to all four power units of El Dabaa plant with the total capacity of 4800 MW during the entire operation period. Furthermore, the Central Design and Technological Institute, another TVEL's subsidiary, is involved in construction of the storage facility for spent nuclear fuel from El Dabaa NPP as a design subcontractor," Oleg Grigoriyev, Senior Vice President for Commerce and International Business at TVEL JSC, commented.

OPINION

Victor Murogov
If we talk about the history of the nuclear science and technology, which determined the creation and the development of nuclear weapons and, then, nuclear power, we must return more than 100 years ago, in the early 20^th century.
