The company behind plans to build two new Russia-supplied nuclear power plants at the Paks 2 site in Hungary has submitted its licence application for construction of the reactor pressure vessels.
János Süli, the minister responsible for the Paks 2 project, told a parliamentary committee that the application had been submitted to the regulator, the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority (HAEA).
The RPV is the heart of a nuclear power plant and its construction is subject to a separate licence by law. The RPV contains the nuclear reactor coolant, the core shroud – whose main function is to direct the cooling water flow – and the reactor core.
