Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. will ship three replacement steam generators to a nuclear plant in Belgium on Wednesday to increase the plant's power generating capacity, the company said Monday.
The steam generators, leaving from Kobe, are scheduled to arrive at the Electrabel Tihange-2 pressurized water reactor plant, southeast of Brussels, by the end of April.
The replacement work will be conducted during the outage period in summer, it said.
This is the second MHI export of replacement steam generators, following three units that were shipped to Belgium's Tihange-1 nuclear plant in 1995.
With the replacement, the power generating capacity of the plant is expected to increase about 10 percent, MHI said.
