The essay on the Paks II NPP project and the licensing of new VVER-1200 units construction was published in Hungarian, Russian and English. A 100-page document whose short version is 12 pages, provides the basic information about the Russian GenIII+ NPP project which is to be implemented in Hungary.
“ROSATOM and Paks II JSC, our partner and consumer of two new VVER-1200 power units are involved in a great job related to informing about the NPP project, its features and stages of implementation. It is very important to ensure that the project to be jointly implemented in the coming years, is understandable for all residents of Hungary and information about its environmental friendliness, safety and efficiency is available to everyone, Alexander Khazin’, ASE EC JSC Senior Vice President - Director of the Paks NPP Construction Project has pointed out.
A short summary has been written for readers without comprehensive technical knowledge. The information about the power units whose construction is planned in the city of Paks, acquaints the general public with the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report of the nuclear facility, which provides a ground for filing an application for the project implementation license. The detailed 100-page material is aimed at technical specialists audience and provides information on the details of the licensing process for construction of the new facility.
To implement the Paks II NPP project, more than 6,000 licenses and permits are required, including the so-called facility-level permits (such as an environmental license, site license, project implementation license, commissioning license and operating license).
The environmental license for the project was received on September 29, 2016, the site license was received on March 30, 2017. The next major project milestone will be the project implementation license issued by the Hungarian Atomic Energy Agency. After receiving this license, the Paks II project will be able to obtain further licenses and permits, on the basis of which the construction, equipment manufacturing, procurement and installation works can be started.
