Developing Relationships Sample Clauses

Developing Relationships. Russia’s Rosatom TVEL is actively pursuing licensing of fuel designs and component production to expand the range of reactors they can support. For example, they recently became a qualified supplier of pressure tubes for CANDU reactors, a key step in becoming a CANDU fuel provider [18]. Some current Rosatom TVEL customers are considering alternate sources for fuel for VVER reactors. TVEL is reluctant to license their fuel design and lose their current monopoly, so other fuel vendors have instead had to develop and test their own independent fuel designs. Ukraine has been actively testing Toshiba-Westinghouse fuel fabricated in Sweden based on a June 2000 U.S. agreement to help Ukraine reduce their dependence on Russia [86]. The lengthy process of proving the fuel via lead test assemblies and partial cores started in 2003 and is finally winding down, with Ukraine expected to soon expand the use of Westinghouse fuel to additional Russian-designed reactors [87]. Finland operated a similar qualification program with Westinghouse fuel fabricated in the UK used in batch quantities from 2001- 2007. The European Union rules require all power plants to have more than one fuel supplier in the long term [88, 89], and has funded a program to establish security of supply (e.g. a second supplier) for Russian- designed reactors in the EU [90], which includes Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, and Slovakia. Members of the Slovak Parliament have also expressed interest in diversifying their fuel supply away from Rosatom, but again significant testing will be required [91]. Rosatom is offering a “build, own, operate” (BOO) arrangement for new reactor construction which includes supply of fuel and takeback of spent fuel. The four VVER-1200 reactors to be constructed in Turkey are the first to be contracted under this approach.
