Title:

Upgrading Capacity to Develop and Implement the Technology for Tritium Removal from Heavy Water

at the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant

Project Number: ROM2009

FOA: 06 - Nuclear power reactors

The main end users will be: The state company Nuclearelectrica SA as owner of Cernavoda

NPP (unit 1 and 2) and as a majority shareholder in Energonuclear Company; ICIT Rm-Valcea as the

technology supplier and the Government of Romania; Energonuclear Company (units 3-4 from Cernavoda).

Technical Cooperation Programme

Learned Lessons

• Exchange of knowledge and experience

• Lively and informative discussions

• Scientific visits → transition from theory to practice

• International workshops (2013 - 50 persons)

• Trained persons

• Very good implementation

Nuclear Hydrogen Production in Romania ?!

Nuclear Power Plant in CernavodăCANDU reactors:

Unit 1- 1996Unit 2- 2007Unit 3Unit 4

ICIT’s actual progresses:

1. Cu-Cl thermochemical cycle: “Clean Hydrogen Production with Water Splitting Technologies”,

University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT)-Canada

2. HyUnder, www.hyunder.eu : larger scale nuclear hydrogen production and storage

European consortium (6 countries, 12 partners)
