Apave, ESI Group (Paris:ESI) and Onet Technologies have
formalized, at the WNE (World Nuclear Exhibition) 2021, their
collaboration, through the MINS (Make in India Nuclear supply chain
Support) alliance, to build a common value proposition in order to
respond to the project to create six EPR reactors on the Jaitapur
site in western India.
Philippe Maillard, CEO of APAVE Group, Emmanuel Leroy, EVP
Product, Innovation & Industry Solutions of ESI Group and Alain
Gauvin, CEO of ONET Technologies, signed today at WNE 2021, with
the participation of Xavier Ursat, Group Senior Executive Vice
President, New Nuclear Projects and Engineering, a joint
declaration of intent structuring the MINS alliance, thus combining
their skills on the outstanding Indian EPR market at the Jaitapur
site.
A unique Indian project
In April 2021, EDF submitted a binding technical and commercial
offer to NCPIL (Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited -
India's state-owned nuclear power company) for the construction of
six EPR (pressurized water reactor) reactors in India, at the
Jaitapur site in the state of Maharashtra, whose capital is Bombay,
the country's economic and commercial center. With an installed
capacity of 9.6 GW, this plant would be the most powerful in the
world. It would produce up to 75 TWh per year and cover the annual
consumption of 70 million Indian households, while avoiding the
emission of about 80 million tons of CO2 per year.
A unique French alliance based on complementary
expertise
Based on more than forty years of experience in the nuclear
sector, APAVE, ESI Group and ONET Technologies have combined their
skills and know-how: in nuclear engineering for ONET Technologies,
in compliance with regulatory and non-regulatory safety and
security requirements for APAVE, and in virtual prototyping
capabilities for ESI Group, in order to put them at the service of
the project.
This combination enables the MINS alliance to offer a complete
range of services ("one-stop shop" approach) to Indian
manufacturers, constructors, and assemblers, from assistance in the
design of systems and equipment to commissioning, including support
in manufacturing methods and monitoring, numerical simulations to
support component sizing, and quality and regulatory controls.
Xavier Ursat, Group Executive Director in charge of EDF's
Engineering and New Nuclear Projects Division, said: "We are
delighted that such experienced partners as Apave, ESI Group and
Onet Technologies have joined forces to meet the many challenges of
this extraordinary project in India. Their complementary nature and
unique know-how, combined with their proximity to the field, will
prove to be a major asset for our Group in the success of this
major project, both in terms of its nature - the construction of
the most powerful power plant in the world - and its duration -
more than 15 years".
