Ninh Thuan nuclear power will be built with high safety

Ninh Thuan nuclear power plants are built on the basis of light water reactors VVER 3rd and 3rd generation, with a very high safety factor, according to Russian design.

>>>There is the safest scenario for nuclear power plants

This information was presented at the Safety Conference of nuclear power and nuclear power project in Ninh Thuan, which took place over the weekend in Phan Rang - Thap Cham city. Representative of the Russian National Atomic Energy Group, Japan International Nuclear Energy Development Company and Japan Atomic Power Company presented at the seminar.

Representative of Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Project Management Board said the progress of implementing nuclear power project in Ninh Thuan is quite favorable. Modern nuclear power plants designed and built by Russia are based on active and passive safety systems. In case the active safety system does not operate safety functions, it is still guaranteed by passive safety system.

Learning from the incident of Fukushima, Russian modern nuclear power plants are designed to suffer from the most intense seismic impact of SL2. Two Ninh Thuan nuclear power plants are built on the basis of light water reactors VVER 3rd and 3rd generation, with a very high safety factor.

Dr. Alexander Kukshinov, Head of International Relations Department of Atomstroyexport Company (Russia) affirmed: 'After the accident of Fukushima nuclear power plant, stress tests of VVER reactor have ensured safety level. According to the design of Russian nuclear power plants, it demonstrates the ability to withstand catastrophic external impacts'.

Managing Director of Japan International Nuclear Energy Development Company (JINED) Takahashi Yuji gave an overview of the Fukushima incident, the situation of troubleshooting. He proposed Vietnam to build Ninh Thuan 2 nuclear power plant under the new technology, ensuring the highest safety according to world standards.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Thanh, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee affirmed that the construction of two nuclear power plants in Ninh Thuan will help the locality attract more investment projects, bringing great benefits to local human resources.

"For the training of human resources, the goal is to basically train the team of engineers and managers to manage the project and participate in taking over the factory after commercial operation ," Dai said. said Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Project Management Board.

According to the national electricity development plan, Ninh Thuan 1 and 2 nuclear power plants were started in December 2014, completed in 2022. Two units of No. 1 of two nuclear power plants operate at the end in 2020.

Nearly 150 representatives of provincial, district, commune and people in the project area of ​​two nuclear power plants 1 and 2 attended this workshop.
