Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. (KHNP), the fifth-largest
nuclear power supplier in the world, has awarded Veolia, through
its subsidiaries Veolia Water France and Veolia Water Korea, a
three-year operation and maintenance contract for the supply of
water and wastewater treatment services at Kori Division, South
Korea’s largest nuclear power plant.
The contract covers freshwater demineralization and treatment to
supply the steam production pipes, and seawater treatment by
electrochlorination to supply the cooling circuit of the nuclear
power plant. Veolia is also in charge of the wastewater treatment
facility, which does not include water that is in contact with
nuclear fuel. The capacity of the water and wastewater facilities
operated by Veolia is more than 173.000 cubic meters per day, the
equivalent of 55 Olympic-size swimming pools. A total of 73
employees will support the operations on site.
Régis Calmels, Senior Executive Vice President Asia for Veolia,
said: “KHNP’s choice of Veolia is based on our expertise in the
treatment of water in nuclear plants and our knowledge in security
issues, which are illustrated through our significant contracts in
France and Japan. This new contract confirms our expertise and
reinforces our position in this growth market”.
Kori Division, which has a total of eight reactors, is located
in the South Eastern area of the Korean Peninsula. It generates
around 7,900 MWh of electricity, which will represent 34% of the
nuclear capacity in South Korea in 2015, equivalent to the
electricity consumption of 8 million people.
