Türkiye could see power generation from 1st nuke plant sooner than planned

Electricity technology from Türkiye’s first nuclear energy plant might be earlier than initially deliberate, Akkuyu Nuclear Deputy Construction Director Dmitry Romanets advised Anadolu on the nation’s largest know-how and aerospace occasion, TEKNOFEST, on Thursday.

Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), situated within the Gülnar district of Mersin, can have an influence technology capability of 35 billion kilowatt-hours upon finishing all 4 models.

According to the intergovernmental settlement between Türkiye and Russia, the primary unit is anticipated to begin electrical energy technology in 2025, 7 years after the development license for the primary energy unit was obtained.

Romanets, nevertheless, said that they’re working to hurry up the timeline inside the framework of security laws.

“For the first unit, installation of technological equipment and related equipment in the turbine and pump buildings will be completed towards the end of the year,” Romanets mentioned and added that the following stage can be to begin energy technology through the primary unit.

After technological gear installations, “we will proceed to the start-up and commissioning phase of the first unit,” he mentioned.

Various phases of building are carried out on the following three models concurrently, Romanets underlined.

Once the primary unit is lively, every of the remaining models will come on-line one 12 months aside, he added.

“TÜRKİYE NEEDS A SECOND AND THIRD NUCLEAR POWER PLANT”


Romanets famous {that a} new business was created in Türkiye throughout the building of Akkuyu NPP.

Turkish producers are actually able to make supplies required for nuclear energy crops, not solely for use in Türkiye but additionally to export overseas, he underlined.

Stating that vitality produced from a nuclear plant is steady, clear and environmentally pleasant, Romanets mentioned, “Considering these important issues, I think Türkiye needs a second and third nuclear power plant. Of course, this is my personal opinion. I would like us to build the second and third power plants in Türkiye as well.”

Romanets emphasised that a number of elements, together with seismic analysis, have been thought-about whereas choosing the Akkuyu space for Türkiye’s first nuclear energy station. He additionally mentioned quite a few experiences have been produced because of these research.

Reminding that TEKNOFEST is an efficient group to introduce nuclear energy, Romanets mentioned, “Those who work in the nuclear industry are committed to their profession. The story of some of those who have chosen this profession begins from their childhood. Knowing the importance of this, we organize tours, especially to the Akkuyu field for children.”
