MHI delivers two RSG for nuclear power plant in Belgium PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 02 September 2009

mitsubishiMitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has delivered two replacement steam generators (RSG), a core component of pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants (NPP), for the Doel-1 NPP in Belgium operated by Electrabel GDF SUEZ, a leading European energy company.

 

The RSGs, manufactured at MHI's Kobe Shipyard and Machinery Works, measure 20 meters in height and weigh roughly 270 tons. According to the company’s press release, SGs play a crucial role in PWRs by transferring the thermal energy generated in the reactor vessel to a secondary coolant and feeding the resulting steam to a turbine system to generate electricity. Their pressure-resistant container made of low-alloy steel, houses approximately 4,800 heat transfer tubes made of a thermally treated nickel-chromium-iron alloy.
