the nuclear fuel supply in Europe.
The consortium has approved the
conceptual fuel design for the
VVER-440 assemblies, which is an
enhanced version of a previous
Westinghouse fuel product that was
delivered to Loviisa Nuclear Power
Plant in Finland from 2001-2007.
“Through this important initiative,
we are fueling Europe’s energy security
by providing fuel to Russian- designed
VVER-440 reactors,” said Aziz Dag,
Westinghouse vice president, Northern
and Eastern Europe. “Westinghouse is
committed to delivering an innovative
VVER-440 design that offers customers
superior safety and quality, as well as
security of supply.”
The next steps include completion
of the associated methods

and methodology to be applied for
the licensing and use of the new fuel
design in each of the European
countries. All key activities are on
time and the program will be
completed by October of 2017.
Westinghouse has been leading
the project known as European Supply
of Safe Nuclear Fuel (ESSANUF) since
September 2015. Its partners include
VUJE, ÚJV Řež, Lappeenranta University
of Technology (LUT), National
Nuclear Laboratory (NNL), NucleoCon,
National Science Center Kharkov
Institute of Physics and Technology
(NSC KIPT), the Joint Research Centre
of the European Commission in
Karlsruhe (JRC-Karlsruhe) and Enusa
Industrias Avanzadas (ENUSA). The
program is funded by the European
Union’s (EU’s) Euratom Research and
Training Programme (2014-2018)
which forms part of Horizon 2020
(H2020), the EU’s Research and Innovation
program (Grant Agreement
671546).
