6 FAQs about [Replacement of generators at power stations]
How many steam generators are there at Koeberg nuclear power station?
Eskom. The current steam generators in Unit 1 and Unit 2 at the Koeberg nuclear power station have been in operation since 1984 and 1985 respectively. The aim of the project is to extend the design life of the nuclear power station by 20 years to 2045. The project involves the replacement of all six steam generators for units 1 and 2.
Which South African nuclear power station has a steam generator?
Western Cape, South Africa. Eskom. The current steam generators in Unit 1 and Unit 2 at the Koeberg nuclear power station have been in operation since 1984 and 1985 respectively. The aim of the project is to extend the design life of the nuclear power station by 20 years to 2045.
How will the new steam generators be installed?
A steam generator is unloaded from the barge (Image: Framatome) The new steam generators will be installed in the reactor building of unit 3 in place of those that will be dismantled after 40 years of use. The new components will be re-welded to the hydraulic circuits of the plant before a comprehensive testing phase begins.
When will the Cruas-Meysse steam generators be replaced?
The steam generators of Cruas-Meysse units 4 and 1 took place in 2014 and 2017, respectively, while those of unit 2 are scheduled to be replaced in 2027. Three new steam generators were delivered last month to the Cruas-Meysse nuclear power plant in south-eastern France.
How will the new steam generators be re-welded?
The new components will be re-welded to the hydraulic circuits of the plant before a comprehensive testing phase begins. The old steam generators will be removed, taken out of the reactor building and stored in a specially constructed building on the site.
Why did the steam generator replacement project reach this milestone?
It is a great relief to have reached this milestone as the steam generator replacement project has experienced numerous false starts in previous outages and some unexpected challenges during the execution in the current outage to get to this point in the project.
