# 13 metric tons of heavy water to S Korea as moderator # About 30 metric tons of heavy water was exported from the plant to China KHAMMAM: The Manuguru heavy water plant has bagged an order to export 13 metric tons of nuclear grade heavy water to South Korea. A high-level team of the Korean Hydro and Nuclear Power Corporation Limited visited the plant on Monday for a pre- dispatch inspection. The four- member team, which left for Mumbay on Tuesday morning, will meet the officials of the Heavy Water Board for formalising the delivery schedule. The high-technology heavy water from the plant, used as a moderator and coolant in the nuclear as well as research reactors, could meet the technical requirements of the overseas customer in all respects. The heavy water board, which had attained self-sufficiency in heavy water production, also achieved the capability to export heavy water of any specification. The heavy water exports to South Korea from the country date back to 1995 when an understanding was reached with it. Korea has built reactors, which use heavy water as moderators. |
