Rolls-Royce’s VVER experience includes modernising a range of safety-class I&C systems at the two Loviisa VVER-440 units in Finland. Paks currently comprises four Russian-supplied VVER-440 PWRs, which became operational between 1982 and 1987 and account for as much as half of Hungary’s indigenous electricity production. An inter-governmental agreement signed in early 2014 would see Russian enterprises and their international sub-contractors supply the two new VVER-1200 units at Paks.
