Safety assessment of proposed modifications of Ignalina nuclear power plant. A publication of the extrabudgetary program on the safety of WWER and RBMK nuclear power plants

摘要

The objective of the meeting was to further discuss previous findings and recommendations and their application to the particular situation of the Ignalina NPP. Since design information and a series of proposed modifications for INPP had been prepared by the main RBMK designer, Research and Development Institute for Power Engineering (RDIPE), it was considered appropriate to conduct the meeting in two parts, the first from 17 to 22 October 1994, at RDIPE headquarters in Moscow and the second from 24 to 28 October 1994, at the plant site in Lithuania. The review covered five topical areas: core monitoring and control; pressure boundary integrity; accident migration; safety and support systems; and instrumentation and control. A summary of the reviews in each technical areas is given in this report. Appendices 1 and 5 present the records of the reviews and detailed findings and recommendations in each topical area. The experts strongly supported the effort to develop a new extended safety analysis report. They also stressed the need for close monitoring of the fuel channel conditions and the need for an integrated approach for the upgrading of the control and safety systems. Refs, figs, tabs.
