PITTSBURGH, Sept. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Westinghouse Electric Company today
announced that it has been awarded a contract to provide Primary Side
Chemistry Monitoring Systems for Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) Units
5 and 6 in Bulgaria.
Westinghouse will provide an on-line chemistry analysis system to
replace manual sample collection and laboratory analysis of 16 primary
chemistry parameters. The chemistry system will provide information to the
Kozloduy plant computer system for display in the control room and at other
Ovation(R) work stations. KNPP Units 5 and 6 are 953 Mwe pressurized water
reactors of VVER design.
Westinghouse will supply the hardware system, as well as project
management, system integration, site activities and installation. While
some preliminary installation work will occur in 2007, the main system
installation for Unit 5 is scheduled for spring 2008 and, for Unit 6, in
fall 2008.
The Westinghouse Primary Side Chemistry On-Line Monitoring System
monitors the chemical parameters of the primary circuit and provides plant
personnel with information they need to implement manual corrective actions
during plant operation. These manual corrective actions are required to
maintain optimal chemical parameters for proper and reliable operation of
the unit. The project includes the design, supply, installation and
commissioning of the equipment.
Diane Fisher, Westinghouse Repair, Replacement and Automation Services
program manager for Kozloduy and Eastern Europe Projects, said, "This award
follows the successful implementation of the Computer Information Systems,
the Turbine Control Systems, the Radiation Monitoring Systems and the
Primary Control Systems at Kozloduy NPP, and is a direct result of
Westinghouse's performance on those projects."
Westinghouse Electric Company is the world's pioneering nuclear power
company and is a leading supplier of nuclear plant products and
technologies to utilities throughout the world. Today, Westinghouse
technology is the basis for approximately one-half of the world's operating
nuclear plants.
