In a 7 April statement, KHNP said Kinectrics highly appreciated the technology KHNP used to replace the pressure tubes and improve the facilities of unit 1 of the Wolsong plant in South Korea.
Under the contract, Kinectrics will hire five KHNP experts in the dismantling of nuclear power plants for one year to carry out the management of decommissioning waste and the development of process projects for the dismantling of pressurised heavy water (Candu) reactors at the Bruce, Darlington and Pickering nuclear power plants.
KHNP said it expects its agreement with Kinectrics to strengthen their experience in decommissioning heavy water reactors and allow them to enter the global decommissioning market jointly.
