Russia introduces VVER nuclear technology in Hanoi
VOV 09:59, 2013/10/23
Russian experts from Atomenergoproekt, the designer of water-cooled water-moderated energy reactor (VVER), introduced its AES-92 and AES-2006 nuclear power reactor technology at a seminar on October 22.

The AES-92 model has passive safety systems that help reinforce resistance against radioactive impact. The AES-2006 model is an evolution of the AES-92 unit that has higher economic specifications and optimised safety systems. An AES-92 unit is designed to operate 40 years, 20 years less than an AES-2006 reactor.

Atomenergoproekt has completed developing the AES-92 model in India and is giving it a trial run. It is now working on the AES-2006 model in Russia.

 

Yuri Ivanov, the company’s vice president, said all its nuclear reactor generations are safe and modern and meet international standards.

Vietnam plans to build two nuclear power plants in the central province of Ninh Thuan. The project, approved by the National Assembly in 2009, aims to ensure national energy security and develop science-technology and support industries.

Russia will help Vietnam build the Ninh Thuan No1 plant, while Japan will carry out the Ninh Thuan No2 plant.

Vietnam is drawing on international expertise in developing nuclear power to select the most appropriate technology for its two future plants.
