🎉 South Africa's Koeberg Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 will operate for 20 more years! The South African safety authority has granted Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd, the nuclear operator, a license to extend the reactor's lifetime. ⚛ Since 2014, Tractebel has provided the operator with engineering support to help upgrade the Koeberg nuclear plant. And our experts played a role in the obtention of the National Nuclear Regulator's green light! Our engineers carried out studies to update regulatory binding documents related to the long-term operation. 👩💼 👷♂️ In 2014, our engineers defined the specifications for the replacement of both units' steam generators. Since 2015, they have provided Owner’s Engineering support services for this project. In 2022, Tractebel signed a contract with the operator that includes our company in a panel of suppliers until 2025. Since then, our engineers have reviewed and updated the secondary heat balance validation tool and the plant thermal performance model. 📈 🔗 Link to the full story in the first comment. 🌍 Nuclear energy accounts for around 6% of the total electricity production in South Africa. To move away from fossil fuels, nuclear power is one of the options chosen by the government to reduce GHG emissions while securing the electricity supply.

🏄♀️ Surfing the internet on the beach this summer? Do you know that data centres' global energy demand exceeds most economies' consumption? 📖 Read the TRACTEBEL/RED Engineering Design White Paper to discover how Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) can help reduce data centre communities' carbon footprint while supporting their exponential long-term growth. ⚛ SMRs will consolidate the data centre sector’s role as a cornerstone of the 4th industrial revolution. Data usage and global internet traffic have risen sharply since the mid-2000s. Small Modular Reactors can help solve this energy quadrilemma by supplying cost-effective, clean and reliable energy while creating skilled jobs for local communities. ⬇ Download the White Paper ( 🔗 the link is in the first comment below) #EngineeringaCarbonNeutralFuture #EngineeringDesign #SustainableEnergy #Innovation #Nuclear #SMR #netzerotransition

🥳 It’s official! The inauguration of section D of the Luxembourg tram, linking the Lycée Bouneweg to the new Stadion terminus was celebrated on July 7. As a key partner in the project, Tractebel is proud to have contributed to this important step towards more sustainable mobility in Luxembourg's capital. 👷♀️♀ On the D2 section, Tractebel mobilized its infrastructures expertise in railway systems engineering and project management, in close collaboration with Luxtram, the local authorities and our partners in the design-build contract: SOCOM SA, Groupe SOPINOR & Frateur - De Pourcq (construction) and Paul Wurth Geprolux S.A., Luxplan and TECNA (design). 🚊 The new tramway section boasts five new stations, including two major interchanges: Howald Station for trains and buses, and Stadion for buses and cars. This extension of the network will link the south of the city to the center, making it easier for residents and #commuters to get around. 👨💼💼 Since its launch in 2017, the Luxembourg tramway has played a central role in the daily lives of the capital's residents and the many cross-border commuters who travel to #Luxembourg every day to work. The existing network already carries 110,000 passengers a day. The aim is to extend the network to transport 300,000 passengers per day by 2035. 🏙 The opening of section D of the #tram line is an important step towards Luxembourg's vision of a more livable, #sustainable and more #accessible city. #WeAreTractebel #rail #lightrail #infrastructure #urban #mobility #smartcities #engineering #EngineeringACarbonNeutralFuture LUXTRAM., Ville de Luxembourg., Sameh HODNI., Silvia Allende., Alexandre Vanheule., Alexandre Renault

⚛ Training the nuclear leaders of tomorrow! Two Tractebel experts, Bruno De Cooman and Denis Maloir participated in the World Nuclear University Summer Institute in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 2 June to 6 July. 👨🎓 The five-week nuclear leadership & professional development program brings together worldwide nuclear professionals to share knowledge on nuclear legislation, market, operation, waste management, and innovation. 🏗 Once-in-a-lifetime experiences: in the third week, our colleagues had the opportunity to visit the Angra nuclear power plant in Rio de Janeiro. Tractebel is helping the operator Eletronuclear structure the project to complete Angra Unit 3. In the last week, the institute welcomed International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi who gave invaluable insights into industry needs and challenges. 🤝 The Summer Institute allowed our experts to network with over 80 nuclear professionals in a dynamic learning environment. They worked on innovative thinking, collaborative mindsets, communication, and leadership styles. 🎙 Several nuclear industry and international organisation leaders shared their experience during the summer institute including Sama Bilbao y Leon (World Nuclear Association), Paulo Coelho (TRACTEBEL), Christian Di Lizia (EDF), Omae Takayoshi (ITER Organization), Abel Gonzáles (Autoridad Regulatoria Nuclear (ARN), Gaston Meskens (SCK CEN), Heather Feldman (EPRI), Celso Cunha (ABDAN - Associacao Brasileira Para Desenvolvimento De Atividades Nucleares), William D. Magwood, IV (OECD Nuclear Energy Agency), Margaret Doane (IAEA), Loyiso Tyabashe (Necsa), Johan Svenningsson (Uniper). 🏋♀️ The invaluable experience empowers our experts to address the challenges and opportunities of the global nuclear industry! #WeareTractebel #EngineeringaClimateNeutralFuture #WNU2024 #professionaldevelopment #leadership #innovation #nuclearenergy

⚛ Strengthening Europe-wide team spirit: a look back at the Nuclear Business Development event in Brussels ✨ 🥇 Fostering excellence Over 30 colleagues based in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the UK attended the BD community's meeting at KOEZIO BELGIUM, a game and entertainment park in Brussels. It was not just a professional gathering, but an opportunity to share expertise, vision and success in low-carbon nuclear activities. 🤝 Team building The morning session was dedicated to a "tour de table" to introduce each other and discussions on several BD topics. After lunch, the participants did a team-building activity, the KOEZIO immersive game experience. Split into several teams, they competed to become the next Elite Agents and join Director John K's centre! The adventure included physical and intellectual activities. It was an opportunity for our colleagues to cooperate informally and get to know each other better. 🏋♀️ This strong bond will undoubtedly empower our nuclear BD community to tackle the challenges ahead with renewed zeal and unity. #EngineeringaCarbonNeutralFuture #WeareTractebel #teambuilding #businessdevelopment #fun #entertainment #cooperation #nuclearenergy #nuclearengineering

🏗 Innovation in the field of nuclear decommissioning! Last month, Tractebel participated in the Sfen - Société française d'énergie nucléaire DEM 2024 conference in Avignon at the Palais des Papes. The conference focused on innovation to face recycling and waste management challenges. 💡 Our expert, Stefan Nijst, shared one of Tractebel’s solutions during the panel entitled “Waste Management and Sustainability”, which featured high-level nuclear industry experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, EDF and Orano. He explained how extended decay storage could foster material recycling during decommissioning projects. ⚛ It could complement nuclear decontamination (mechanical, chemical, and nuclear melting) to maximise the volumes eligible for clearance or to allow a waste reclassification (e.g. intermediate to low-level waste) for existing nuclear facilities (e.g. nuclear power plants, cyclotron facilities), future Small Modular Reactors and fusion facilities. It could significantly reduce the project’s carbon footprint and radwaste management costs. The decay storage could be located on- or off-site, or in a centralised national or cross-border facility. 🔄 Tractebel will continue to foster the circular economy of ongoing and future nuclear decommissioning projects! Thank you to the Sfen for organising this event and to Virginie Wasselin for preparing and chairing this inspiring panel.
