±¬×ߺÚÁÏ

Later this year, when the first lot of cooling water piping under Indian scope arrives at the Mediterranean port of Fos-sur-Mer, a convoy of 50 to 70 trailer trucks will be waiting to transport the containers to the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ site.

And that's just the first batch. Six months later the remaining lots of piping will be shipped from India to France, thereby completing the scope of Indian-procured piping required for the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ component cooling water, chilled water and heat rejection systems.

Following a Final Design Review for first-lot piping one year ago, the Indian Domestic Agency held the Final Design Review for the remaining lots on 27 March in Gandhinagar. The review panel—composed of ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ and ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ India representatives as well as experts from the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. (NPCIL)—was chaired by MS Shelar from NPCIL. In the sidelines of the meeting, the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ members of the review panel had the opportunity to visit the cooling tower manufacturing facilities located near Kolkata and Delhi.

The company responsible for the final design, Larsen & Toubro, presented its work during the review, including design calculations, analysis, qualification, manufacturability and constructability, and the manufacturing plan; this led to a comprehensive technical discussion among the participants. The review panel appreciated the quality output that had resulted from the hard work and collaborative efforts of Larsen & Toubro, ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ India and the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ, and gave useful recommendations to be complied with.

The review panel will meet again remotely to finalize the technical recommendations for the close-out of the review.
