Pumping out RSGs: 32 in 6 years

摘要

Areva's factories in Burgundy, France will be most called upon to hand over 16 of the 32 components in July 2016, eight in January 2017 and eight in January 2018. Areva's long-term partner ENSA of Spain will also contribute to the order, particularly during the first term. This very tight schedule required the nuclear group to anticipate and make the necessary arrangements to be able to launch manufacturing of these heavy components as soon as the result of the call for tenders was announced. Although rarely mentioned, documentation is key in the timely delivery of such heavy equipment as lead times largely depend on the time needed to obtain and validate the required documentation.
