The Initial Technological Improvements

Project Changes

The Initial Technological Improvements and Project Changes

• the addition of shielding cartridges for decreasing the neutron flow in the reactor’s pressure vessel and the decreasing of the risk of brittle fracture of the pressure vessel,
• the securing of super-emergency power supply for the most important safety systems,
• the reconstruction and addition of operational computer systems and supplementation of parameter monitoring, in response of malfunctions,
• the addition of diagnostic systems for the monitoring of the condition of the main components of the power plant.

Small Reconstruction

V1 NPP Modernization

The Most Important Performed Measures of the Minor Reconstruction

• the annealing of the reactor’s pressure vessel of both units,
• significant improvement of the tightness of hermetic areas,
• increase in the reliability of the heat transport in the secondary circuit,
• increase in performance of emergency power supply system of safety sections ,
• seismic reinforcement of the primary circuit, safety systems, and buildings,
• measures in sphere of fire prevention,
• the installation of diagnostic systems, which were then recommended as an example for other nuclear power plants worldwide.
