resulting from the dismantling works. A Feasibility Study on the optimal
conditioning and packaging regimes for the wastes associated with the
dismantling of equipment, systems and buildings during the Decommissioning
of Units 1-4 of KNPP is being carried out for provision of containers for
transport and storage in near surface storage facilities of materials and
wastes resulting from the dismantling works.
The expected duration of the contract implementation is twelve calendar
months.
- Size Reduction and Decontamination Active Workshop – Design,
Construction and Equipment Supply and Installation
This project is to provide a range of facilities and equipment for size
reducing and decontaminating dismantled contaminated materials from
dismantling activities at Kozloduy NPP Units 1-4. The SRDAW will be
constructed as a permanent building that insures an effective containment
so as to prevent the spread of radioactive material to the environment. It
will be compartmentalized into separate zones for size reduction,
decontamination and cable processing.
The expected duration of the contract implementation is thirty-five
calendar months.
- Size Reduction Areas in Turbine Hall – Design and Equipment Supply and
Installation
Two areas will be organized under this project. They are intended for size
reduction of equipment dismantled from the Turbine Hall. They will be
equipped with manually and remote controlled machines for size reduction,
suction ventilation equipment and laboratory for surface contamination
monitoring.
Project is to be separated into two Lots:
- Off-the-shelf equipment for: size reduction, ventilation, transport
inside the TH and furniture (work benches, tool cabinets etc
- Equipment needed for installation of ventilation units (columns,
supports) and electrical equipment
The expected duration of the contract implementation is three calendar
months.
- Supply of Hand Operated Equipment for Size Reduction and Decontamination
Active Workshop
Tools for manual cutting and size reduction (manual saws, electrical saws,
drilling machines, electrical screwdrivers, angle grinders, etc) will be
procured under this project.
The expected duration of the contract implementation is six calendar
months.
- Dismantling and Decontamination Tools and Equipment
The procurement notice is for design, supply and installation of
technologies, tools and devices for the dismantling and decontaminating
process in Turbine Hall, Reactor Buildings and Auxiliary Buildings at KNPP
Units 1-4. This will include equipment for fragmentation and
decontamination workshops, for dismantling of civil structures other than
buildings, e.g. foundations, concrete tanks, etc., as well as free release
facilities to monitor waste.
The expected duration of the contract implementation is twelve calendar
months.
- Infra-structure Separation - New pipelines and measurement systems for
heat, fluid flow and electricity metering
Some interconnecting systems of infrastructure (power, water, steam, etc.)
will have to be modified in order to fully separate the units under
decommissioning (Units 1-4) from the ones under operation (Units 5-6).
This will require the procurement of new service water pipelines and
valves, new Artesian pipelines and valves, new steam and hot water
pipelines and valves, flow meters, electricity meters and heat meters.
The expected duration of the contracts implementation is five calendar
months.
- Construction of Heat Generation Plant
As part of the physical separation of infrastructure of Units 1-4, an
independent source of steam and heat will be required. This source will be
powered up only if both units 5 and 6 are shut down temporarily for
maintenance purposes. However it will have to have enough capacity to
supply heat for the district heating loop of Kozloduy town and the KNPP
site. The Heat Generation Plant will use gas as a source of fuel.
The procurement notice is for design, supply and implementation of a
heat-generating plant.
The expected duration of the contract implementation is forty-three
calendar months.
