AREVA will also supply uranium concentrates,
conversion services, and enrichment
services. The six contacts together have
been valued at $3 billion.
In a $20 billion deal announced in
December 2009, ENEC selected a Korean
consortium led by KEPCO to build the four
APR-1400 reactors. ENEC in July received
regulatory approval from both the Environment
Agency of Abu Dhabi and the Federal
Authority for Nuclear Regulation for construction
of the first two nuclear energy
units (Barakah Units 1 and 2). Pending
further regulatory approvals, the first unit
is scheduled to begin delivering electricity
to the grid in 2017. The remaining three
units are scheduled to come online in
2018, 2019, and 2020.
Expansion of 2,100-MW Malaysian

Coal Plant Kicks Off. Malaysia's largest independent
power producer, Malakoff Corp.
Berhad, began pouring concrete for a $2
billion expansion that will ramp up capacity
of its 2,100-MW Tanjung Bin Power Station,
in Johor, Malaysia, to 3,100 MW in 2016 and
make it one of Southeast Asia's largest coalfired
power plants. The new supercritical
plant will increase the plant's net efficiency
by more than 3% at rated capacity and enable
it to use 100% subbituminous coal, the
company said. Power from the plant will be
sold under a 25-year power purchase agreement
to Tenaga Nasional Berhad. The additional
generating capacity is expected to
meet the increasing power demand in the
Iskandar region, which is projected to surge
from 1,479 MW in 2010 to 2,254 MW by
2020, spurred by growth in key industries
such as port and marine services, warehousing,
logistics engineering, and high-tech
manufacturing.

vacuum receivers operating with up to 26 " Hg
vacuum. Flange mounted directly to the vacuum
receiver tank eliminates suction piping/NPSH problems.
Whether operating at a trickle or full flow, specially designed
impellers allow pumping to resume even after periods of
interrupted flow.
Capacities range to 600 GPM depending on discharge head
and speed of operation. Available in 6 sizes ranging from
1 " - 4 " , standard materials of construction include All Iron,
CD4MCu and Rubber Lined. The 855 Series features an
overhead v-belt drive arrangement as standard,
with options for either close coupled or frame
mounted drives. Packing is standard in the
stuffing box with mechanical seals as an option,

MW Geothermal Project. Kenya Electricity
Generating Co. (KenGen) in July
announced the construction start of its
280-MW Olkaria geothermal facility in Hells
Gate National Park, a $981 million project
that has been financed by the Kenyan
government, the World Bank, and German
development bank KfW. The project will
see expansion of the existing 70-MW Olkaria
I geothermal project by 70 MW and
construction of the new 140-MW Olkaria IV
plant. Steam wells for the project have already
been drilled. A consortium of Japan's
Toyota Tshusho and South Korea-based
Hyundai will build the power plant, while
China's Sinopec will carry out steam field
development. India's Kamani Engineering
Corp. will build the transmission lines and
the substation for the project, while New
Zealand-based Sinclair Knight Mertz will
act as the project consultant.
Westinghouse to Study Potential
Seventh Reactor at Bulgarian Nuclear
Plant. Westinghouse Electric Co. on
Aug. 27 said it had received a contract
from the Kozloduy NPP-New Build PLC of
Bulgaria to perform a feasibility study for
a potential seventh unit at the Kozloduy
Nuclear Power Plant. The required study
will encompass a review of two potential
designs: one, a reactor of VVER design using
equipment already purchased by the
Bulgarian firm alongside Westinghouse instrumentation
and control systems, fuel,
and a Toshiba Corp. turbine generator;
and the second, the construction and operation
of a 1,000-MW to 1,200-MW pressurized
water reactor design. The scope of
the feasibility study includes an evaluation
of the site, radioactive waste and
spent fuel management, reuse of existing
infrastructures and facilities, licensing, local
economic aspects, and the profitability
of the two reactor designs. ■
