Accomplishments

Management and Operational Safety

  • Operator exchanges that trained plant personnel to develop improved operating safety procedures and practices were completed.

  • A complete set of management and operational control procedures that promote safety through improved operating practices was developed and implemented at the plant.

  • Tools and methods for evaluating operators during training on control room simulators were developed.

  • Representatives from the Hungarian regulatory agency and the Paks plant attended a regulatory workshop for training on symptom-based emergency operating procedures.

Plant Safety Evaluations

  • Technology transfer and training were provided to plant staff in the area of human performance during emergencies.

  • Analysis capability and training were provided to Hungarian technical specialists to enable them to evaluate the potential for combustion/detonation of hydrogen, which could threaten the plant's containment integrity for accident scenarios.

  • U.S. experts analyzed the ability of the reactor confinement structures to withstand the pressure likely to be created in an accident and determined that the structures are adequate.

  • The COBRA-SFS computer code was transferred to Hungary for use in evaluating spent fuel storage systems.
