VK-300 SIMPLIFIED VESSEL-TYPE BOILING WATER REACTOR. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND SAFETY

摘要

Specific requirements to medium-size nuclear power units are under consideration. Among the main requirements are as follows: compliance of power unit output with the grid stability, enhanced NPP reliability and safety, competitiveness of the power generated. As it is shown in the report, Simplified Boiling Water Reactors (SBWR) meet the totality of the requirements imposed on. Design and main characteristics of SBWR-type VK-300 reactor and two-unit NPP with such reactors being developed by RDIPE are described. VK-300 and NPP safety problems including ones for underground NPP layout are under consideration.
