阿聯(lián)酋第二座核電站獲得運行許可證

據(jù)3月10日Trade Arabia消息：阿聯(lián)酋獨立核監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)聯(lián)邦核監(jiān)管局(FANR)今天向Nawah能源公司頒發(fā)了位于阿布扎比Al Dhafra地區(qū)的Barakah核電站2號機(jī)組的運行許可證。

Nawah是阿聯(lián)酋核能公司(Enec)的子公司，負(fù)責(zé)運營該國第一個核電站。

Enec的聲明稱，該運營許可證的有效期估計為60年，授權(quán)Nawah委托并運營Barakah核電站的2號機(jī)組。

FANR審查了1號和2號機(jī)組14000頁的運行許可申請，進(jìn)行了220多次檢查，并要求2號機(jī)組提供59條有關(guān)反應(yīng)堆設(shè)計、安全和其他問題的額外信息，以確保巴拉卡核電廠完全符合所有監(jiān)管要求。

阿聯(lián)酋常駐國際原子能機(jī)構(gòu)代表兼FANR副主席哈馬德·阿爾·卡比大使表示:“這是阿聯(lián)酋又一個歷史性的時刻，它是該地區(qū)第一個運營核電站的阿拉伯國家，在制定此類計劃方面經(jīng)過了13年的艱辛努力。”

他補充說:“這一里程碑的實現(xiàn)是由于阿聯(lián)酋的遠(yuǎn)見和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力，以建立一個和平的核能計劃來滿足該國未來的能源需求?！?/span>

在簽發(fā)2號機(jī)組的運行許可證后，Nawah將進(jìn)行一段試運行，以準(zhǔn)備商業(yè)運轉(zhuǎn)，在商業(yè)運轉(zhuǎn)中，除了部署其他檢查員之外，F(xiàn)ANR將利用其在巴拉卡核電廠的駐地檢查員進(jìn)行24小時檢查，以確保根據(jù)監(jiān)管要求完成燃料裝載和電力接入程序。

UAE nuclear plant's second unit gets operational licence

The UAE's independent nuclear regulator, Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR) today (March 9) issued the operating licence for Unit 2 of Barakah nuclear plant - located in the Al Dhafra region of Abu Dhabi - to Nawah Energy Company.

A subsidiary of Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec), Nawah is responsible for the operation of the country's first nuclear plant.

The operating licence, with an estimated duration of 60 years, authorises Nawah to commission and operate the Unit 2 of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant, said the statement from Enec.

FANR reviewed the 14,000 page operating licence application for Units 1 & 2, conducted more than 220 inspections and requested 59 additional pieces of information for Unit 2 on various matters related to reactor design, safety and other issues to ensure the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant’s complete compliance with all regulatory requirements, it added.

Ambassador Hamad Al Kaabi, UAE Permanent Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Deputy Chairman at FANR, said: "This is another historic moment for the UAE, being the first Arab country in the region to operate a nuclear power plant and culminating efforts of 13 years in building such a programme."

"This milestone was achieved due to the UAE’s vision and its leadership to build a peaceful nuclear energy programme to cater for the future needs of energy in the country," he added.

Following the issuance of the Operating License for Unit 2, Nawah will undertake a period of commissioning to prepare for the commercial operation where FANR will conduct around-the-clock inspections, using its resident inspectors located at the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant in addition to deploying other inspectors, to ensure the Fuel Load and Power Accession processes are completed according to regulatory requirements.
