Strategic assessment of technical solutions for meeting 94 t/h auxiliary steam requirements from CNE start-up thermal facility
Client: RATEN – CITON
Overview
Ludan Engineering conducted a strategic technical assessment for RATEN – CITON to identify and evaluate optimal solutions for delivering 94 tons per hour of auxiliary steam from the CNE Start-Up Thermal Facility. The project supports Romania’s nuclear infrastructure by ensuring reliable steam supply for commissioning and auxiliary operations at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant.
Key achievements include:
- Evaluation of multiple steam generation and distribution scenarios, including retrofit and new-build options
- Thermal and hydraulic modelling to ensure system stability, efficiency, and compatibility with existing infrastructure
- Engineering recommendations aligned with nuclear safety standards and operational requirements
- Support for long-term planning and investment decisions, including CAPEX/OPEX analysis and regulatory compliance.
This project highlights Ludan’s strategic engineering capabilities in high-integrity thermal systems, helping RATEN – CITON reinforce Romania’s nuclear readiness and operational resilience
