Tritium Removal Facility CNE Cernavoda
ROMANIA Present status and perspectives
The 14-th Conference Progress in Cryogenics and
Isotopes Separation 29-31 OCTOBER,
2008 CALIMANESTI - CACIULATA, VALCEA

Short history
  • 2006/2007 final approval for pre and
    feasibility study rev 3
  • Technology adopted LPCE CD similar in
    Wolsung, Korea and ICIT, Romania
  • Proposed 5 year project for construction
    2007-2012
  • Solution adopted by CNE Cernavoda 2 year design
    phase
  • MPA no 613 issued by CNE Cernavoda and approved
    by CNCAN in August 2007
  • Contract signed in December 2007

Participants
  • Initial, at beginning of contract
  • ICSI
  • SITON
  • AECL Canada
  • CELIN SA
  • ISTECH
  • All proposed companies together covers all
    specialties of project

6
Participants
  • Today, contract in force
  • ICSI technology, licensing support
  • SITON technology, safety, construction,
    licensing, electrical instrumentation
  • CELIN - electrical instrumentation,
    construction
  • ISTECH technology, licensing support
  • CEPSTRA GROUP support for environmental
    licensing

7
Participants
  • New companies will be involved in order to
    fulfill the project objectives and schedule
  • KRAFTANLAGEN GmbH, Germany
  • AECL Canada

Milestones
  • Background
  • 2 year design contract
  • Licensing process 3 licenses has to be obtained
    (location, construct construction)
  • Technical project as support for construction
    license
  • Detailed design project of CTRF

11
Milestones
  • Technical project part 1 December 2008
  • Technical project part 2 March 2009
  • Final review of TP and initial SAR April/May
    2009
  • PSAR October 2009
  • License for construction/construct of CTRF
    December 2009
  • Detailed design of CTRF (DDRP) in order to close
    MPA December 2009

Schedule

Issues regarding CTRF project
  • Change of participants
  • AECL is not allowed at this moment to provide
    support because of bilateral agreement between
    Romania and Canada or EURATOM Canada
  • Interface with CNE Cernavoda
  • Hard communication
  • Delays in answering
  • ICSI take decision to open an office in CNE
    Cernavoda in order to increase information
    exchange
  • Changed solutions
  • There are some identified changes between
    feasibility study and actual phase regarding the
    links with U1 (electrical, construction)
    increase the number of systems

14
Results
  • Licensing
  • Initial documents for starting licensing process
    were issued
  • Code and standards, LBD, list of CTRF systems
    after FS, system classification list
  • CU license (from local authorities) approved in
    October 2008 after 3 month
  • Environment initial documents
  • Continuous discussion with CNCAN
  • ISAR and PSAR content agreed with CNCAN

15
Results
  • Technology
  • All technological or auxiliary systems starts
  • LPCE system final configuration
  • CD system final configuration including
    solution for helium refrigeration unit
  • Interface systems (HWFS HWPS) final
    configuration. Connecting points with U1 systems
    identified
  • Others (HVAC, ADS, TRS, TGHSS, VTMS) ongoing to
    finalize solution
  • Conceptual project in development in order to
    review the feasibility study

16
Results
  • Construction
  • Building freeze in October 2008
  • Changed solution as requested by CNE Cernavoda
    panels instead concrete for walls
  • Location of systems and main equipment
  • Seismically solution for CTRF building developed
    by SITON low cost for equipment
  • Technical channel between service building
    there is additional work, will be 2 TC, and we do
    not have an agreement about the link with U2

Perspectives
  • Technical project, licensing process and detailed
    design for CTRF can be finalized on schedule
  • Delays expected in licensing process
  • As result of TP CTRF construction costs can
    increase take in account market prices CTRF
    price will be adjusted
  • Some issues regarding heavy water management
    U1/U2 can affect CTRF project and in
    perspective the construction of facility CNE
    Cernavoda has to define how the CTRF will serve
    U1/U2
  • Tritium aspects a strategy has to be developed

Tritium inventory in the world
? 2.5 Kg/year tritium in 20 CANDU units (Ontario
OPG) ? Tritium removal facility in Wolsung (4
CANDU units) in operation ? Cernavoda TRF for U1
U2 ?
23
Recovery of investment
  • Tritium price on market 23 Euro/Ci
  • At start of Cernavoda tritium removal facility
    tritium activity will be 54 Ci/kg (if CTRF
    proceed as schedule in FS)
  • Scope of CTRF target of 10 Ci/kg in first two
    years can be stored 107 Ci meaning 23 107
    Euro
  • After target achieved can be recovered 4.5
    Ci/kg per year tritium production per year and
    unit of 106 Ci equivalent with 23 106
    Euro/unit/year

24
Conclusions
  • Romanian and international technologies applied
    for CTRF
  • Great effort !
  • CTRF schedule can be adjusted
  • Results from project skills developed inside
    project companies in perspectives of ITER
    construction
  • Romanian industry can be prepared for CTRF ITER
    construction
  • In perspective CTRF has two major advantages
  • CNE Cernavoda will be major player on European
    tritium market. Romania is EU member!
  • CTRF experience can be used for ITER
  • As things going in ITER project, CTRF will be
    build before ITER, so contracts related to
    tritium for ITER should be in place next years
