The contract to design, equip and commission the Site Radioactive Treatment Facility (SRTF) for the treatment and storage of liquid, wet solid and solid wastes has been awarded by China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) and SDNPC to a consortium between EnergySolutions’ international subsidiary EnergySolutions EU and Yuanda Environmental Engineering Company, a subsidiary of CPI.
CPI is constructing 6 AP1000 reactor units (with reservation for another two) at its Haiyang site in Shandong Province China. The Reactors will be operated by Shandong Nuclear Power Company (SDNPC), a subsidiary of CPI.
EnergySolutions will develop the conceptual design for the SRTF, will supply all of the key processing technology and equipment and will work with SDNPC to ensure that the SRTF is commissioned and brought online to the agreed cost and schedule.
The SRTF will utilize EnergySolutions Containers and proprietary de-watering systems to deal with some of the waste streams and will integrate technologies for solid waste treatment from a variety of vendor partners. This project builds on the Yangjiang Contract awarded to EnergySolutions earlier this year.
Val Christensen, CEO and president of EnergySolutions, said: “We appreciate the opportunity to work with SDNPC as well as CPI and its subsidiary company Yuanda in further developing nuclear power as a vital source of clean energy in China. We look forward to supporting our customer in the delivery of this exciting vision.”
