Hanoi (VNA) – Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) has seen implementing component projects in preparation for the building of the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Plants, the first of their kind 🍃in Vietnam.
According to Pham Minh Tuan, Deputy Director of the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Project Management Board, EVN is investing in six out of 10 component projects under the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power master project approved by the Government on March 18, 2010.
The management board was established in March 2011 in a bid to boost the implementation of relevant projects.
In January 2013, EVN approved numerous projects on developing synchronous infrastructure for the nuclear power plants.
By late 2014, the projects on supplying water and electricity for Ninh Thuan Power Nuclear Plant 1 had started. They are expected to be complete by December 2016.
Fact-collecting has started for other support facilities, including the centres for the plants’ operation, experts and the 20-hectare project management board headquarters. They are scheduled to be completed between 2016 and 2017.
The Centre for Public Relations sits on 2 hectares. It aims to promote the development of nuclear power in Vietnam and is expected to be finished in 2017 or 2018.
Another main focus has been training those who will manage and run the plants, with each expected to employ 1,100 people.
EVN will continue to cooperate with relevant ministries, sectors and localities to ensure the project remains on schedule. They will also make sure the projects run safely and securely, contributing to energy security and the nation’s socio-economic development.
