The Teleperm XS systems will be delivered by Areva into the Russian test center of Vniiaes by the end of 2010. The first unit of Novovoronezh-2, located south of Moscow, will be connected to the grid in 2012.
In 2008, Areva signed a similar contract with Vniiaes for the delivery of a Teleperm XS system in the frame of the modernization of the Kola nuclear power plant, situated in the far north of Russia.
Teleperm XS is Areva’s digital safety I&C system platform based on hardware and software standards.
Luc Oursel, president of Areva NP, said: “This contract demonstrates the confidence our customer has put in our nuclear safety solutions. It shows that Areva is well positioned on the Russian market, on both I&C for new build and I&C modernization.”
Vniiaes is an all-Russian research institute for nuclear power plant operation.
