Major refurbishment contract awarded by Swedish nuclear
power plant

Under the contract with OKG Aktiebolag, owned by energy
companies EON and Fortum, ALSTOM will supply new internal parts
for the modernisation of turbine/generator Unit 3 of the
three-unit plant. The turbine/generator set contains one
high-pressure steam turbine, three low-pressure steam turbines
and one generator.

In addition, ALSTOM will also carry out dismantling,
installation, commissioning and testing of the modernized
plant.

Thanks to an upgrade of the nuclear reactors and the fully
integrated design of the retrofitted turbine and generator
equipment, the rated electrical power output at the Boiling
Water Reactor (BWR) plant will increase from the current 1200
MW to more than 1450 MW. The project will ensure increased
availability of the unit and extend the lifetime of the plant
by more than 35 years.

The main installation work will be performed during a
planned outage in 2008. The project will be managed and
supplied by ALSTOM Power Sweden, and the site in Finspong. All
major equipment will be produced at ALSTOM factories in France
and Switzerland.
