Contracts. Rosatom has made its first-ever shipment of nuclear fuel to China’s Xudabao NPP. The nuclear fuel was delivered by the Fuel Division (TVEL) of the Russian nuclear corporation under a fuel supply contract for Xudabao Units 3 and 4, which are being built to a Russian design and will feature Generation III+ VVER-1200 reactors. “Xudabao is a new destination for Russian nuclear fuel supplies. Earlier, we shipped fuel for VVER-1000 and VVER-1200 reactors at the Tianwan NPP, and for China’s experimental fast neutron reactor. And now we are turning another page in the dynamic relations with our Chinese partners. We also plan to manufacture and deliver the initial fuel loadings for two more new VVER-1200 reactors at the Tianwan and Xudabao NPPs by the end of this year,” says Oleg Grigoriev, Senior Vice President for Commerce and International Business at TVEL.
