With a duration period of three to five years, the scope of the contracts mainly covers works on Angra-2 and comprises key service needs for a nuclear reactor in operation.

Areva will carry out examination and maintenance operations on the reactors’ mechanical and electrical main components and will provide local support to meet its customer’s needs.

Within the framework of these orders, Areva will implement its integrated service concept not only during plant outage but also during operation. Areva’s comprehensive offer is expected to lower operating costs for Eletronuclear while enhancing the reliability of its plants.

The group already provides services for both Angra plants and, together with Eletronuclear, has been performing the yearly outages for Angra-2 since its connection to the grid in 2001.
