PIME 2015: Post-conference Technical tours

The Technical Tours will take place on Wednesday, 4 March 2015.

PIME delegates can choose between two Technical Tours:

Technical Visit 1: Visit of Mochovce NPP

The four VVER 440/V-213 pressurised water reactors units of the Mochovce NPP are located in the south of Slovakia. Unit 1 supplies electricity to the power grid since the summer of 1998, and Unit 2 since the late 1999. Their gross power output was up-rated from 440 to 470 MW per each unit. Construction of Units 3 and 4 was suspended in 1992 and re-started in November 2008. Each Mochovce NPP unit generates over 3,000 GWh of electricity annually, which represents approximately 11% of Slovakia's electricity consumption.

The tour of the plant will include a visit to the new visitor centre Energoland.

Departure from the Conference Hotel: 8.00
Return at the Conference Hotel: 15.00

Technical Visit 2: Bohunice V2 Nuclear Power Plant

Bohunice V2 Nuclear Power Plant is located in Western Slovakia near to Trnava. Electricity is generated there in two units with VVER 440/V-213 pressurised water reactors, which were commissioned in 1984 and 1985 respectively.

The V2 power plant changed to combined generation of electricity and heat after building up the centralised heat supply system from Bohunice NPP to Trnava in 1987. Detour from the Trnava heat supply line also heats Leopoldov and Hlohovec.

Since 2002 a modernisation programme amounting to 500 mil. EUR was implemented at V2 units, and was completed in 2010 by power increase up to 505 MWe (gross) per unit.

The tour of the plant will include a visit to the new JAVYS visitor centre.

Departure from the Conference Hotel: 8.00
Return at the Conference Hotel: approx. 14.00
