Vietnam: EVN boosts implementation of nuclear power plant projects

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.

Ninh Thuan 1 in Vinh Truong village, Thuan Nam district will sprawl over
443.11 hectares of land and 440.57 hectares of sea.

Ninh Thuan 2 in Thai An village, Ninh Hai district will take up 380.91
hectares of land and 337.63 hectares of sea.

Each will be equipped with four 2,000-megawatt turbines installed over two
phases.

The first turbine at Ninh Thuan 1 is expected to be connected to the
national grid by 2020.

Under the country's energy development plan, by 2030 nuclear plants are
expected to provide 15,000-16,000MW of power, representing 10 percent of the
total installed capacity in Vietnam.
