Westinghouse fuel for Loviisa

摘要

Fortum has signed an agreement with US-based Westinghouse Electric Company for the design, licensing, and supply of a new fuel type for the Loviisa NPP in Finland. The new fuel type is based on a British Nuclear Fuel Limited design that was supplied to the Loviisa plant from 2001 to 2007 and used in parallel with the fuel supplied by the Russian TVEL in the early 2000s. Taking the new fuel into use is a multi-year project requiring regulatory approvals.
