CHINA: AREVA TO SUPPLY TELEPERM®XS DIGITAL SAFETY INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROL SYSTEM FOR TIANWAN 3 AND 4 NUCLEAR REACTORS
PRESS RELEASE
AREVA / GROUP
December 09, 2011
Chinese utility JNPC (Jiangsu Nuclear Power Corporation), a subsidiary of CNNC (China National Nuclear Corporation), renewed its confidence and trust in AREVA by awarding the group a new contract.
A consortium led by AREVA will deliver the digital safety and complementary operational instrumentation & control (I&C) systems for the Tianwan 3 and 4 VVER 1000 MW class reactors. Construction will start in 2012 and commercial operation of both power plant units is scheduled for 2018 and 2019 respectively.
AREVA’s TELEPERM®XS safety-related I&C digital system selected for this project has been in operation in the Tianwan 1 and 2 units since 2007.
Qualified for nuclear I&C applications with maximum safety requirements across worldwide markets, TELEPERM®XS is a state-of-the-art system for different tasks in nuclear power plants: reactor protection, reactor control and limitation, neutron flux measurement, core monitoring, control rod position, control and monitoring, as well as for emergency diesel generators.
Philippe Samama, AREVA’s Installed Base business unit Executive Vice President, said: “We are honored that JNPC has selected once again our TELEPERM®XS safety I&C system that can be used in various reactor models for both new build and retrofit markets. It has proven global references around the world, in particular in China where seven nuclear power plants are already equipped with this technology”.
TELEPERM®XS has been implemented in 11 different reactor types in 14 countries. It is currently being installed, or will be installed in 74 units located on 41 separate sites. Additionally, the installation of the TELEPERM®XS solution in an U.S nuclear plant has recently been recognized as the prestigious Engineering Project of the Year at the 13th Annual Platts Global Energy Awards in the United States.

Hi! I’m not Ben — just passing along the links to spread public awareness for Californians to see and get involved as it’s an all-volunteer effort.
This quote from the website explains the initiative:
[quote]“We need your help to shut down the two dangerous nuclear power plants in California — San Onofre in San Clemente and Diablo Canyon in San Luis Obispo. Our safety and financial future are at stake.
You can make a difference.
■Click here to download the Initiative Petition Form and Instructions. Do this today. Time is of the essence.
■We need volunteers who are eligible to vote in California to help collect 504,760 voter signatures by April 1, 2012. Or you can sign a petition for just yourself, or friends and family.
■If you just get seven valid signatures and ask those seven people to get seven, and so forth, we will have all the required signatures within a few weeks! If you would like to complete more petitions, that would be of incredible help, too.
■Educate yourself and others on the reasons to support the California Nuclear Initiative.
Register to vote.
■You cannot sign a petition unless you are registered to vote in California.
■Encourage your California friends to register to vote.
Other things you can do.
■Share this site with your friends and family in California and ask them to help.
■Complete the Contact Form and we’ll keep you informed of upcoming events and other information. We will not share your information with other organizations.
Take back the power.
■California citizens have a rare opportunity to decide their own fate.
■This is a grass roots all volunteer campaign.
■Let’s show the country that the 99% in California can take back the power. Be part of the solution.” [end quote]
