TOKYO, May 25, 2017 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has delivered three replacement steam generators to Electricite de France S.A. (EDF) for the Cruas Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 Reactor. The replacement steam generators have been certified by France's nuclear authority as compliant with the country's strict regulatory requirements on April 28, 2017. The replacement steam generators for the 900 MWe pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant were ordered in 2010. They are approximately 21 meters in height and 300 tons in weight, and were manufactured at MHI's Kobe facilities. The steam generators are made of low-alloy steel(1). Each steam generator contains more than 4,000 heat transfer tubes made from state-of-the-art TT690 alloy material(2). Steam generators are one of the most important components of a PWR, playing a central role in transferring the thermal energy generated in the reactor vessel from the primary (reactor) cooling system to the secondary (turbine) cooling system, using steam to drive the turbine.
