The Belgian experience with the safety reassessment of nuclear power plants
- Belgatom Nuclear Engineering and Consulting Services, Brussels (Belgium)
Belgian utilities operate 7 PWR units distributed over 2 sites, Doel and Tihange. A. The first-generation plants (Doel 1 and 2, Tihange 1) are in operation for about 17 years: 1. Doel 1 and 2 are twin units of 400 MWe each, with a common turbine hall and control room, common nuclear auxiliaries and safeguards; it was built by ACECOWEN, a consortium formed by WESTINGHOUSE and the Belgian companies ACEC and COCKERILL. The architect- engineer was BELGATOM, 2. Tihange 1 is an 870MWe unit, the first 3 loop-PWR of Westinghouse design in Europe. It was built by the consortium ACECOWEN - CREUSOT LOIRE FRAMATOME: the architect-engineer was BELGATOM and EDF. These three units were connected to the grid between August 1974 and August 1975.
