Accomplishments
Management and Operational Safety
- Key components (e.g., computer platforms, control panels, input-output control devices) were delivered for the Unit 3 VVER-1000 full-scope simulator.
- A project for a full-scope simulator for Unit 1 has been initiated. A contractor was selected in September 1998; the project is scheduled for completion during 2001.
- Operator exchanges that trained plant personnel to develop improved operating safety procedures and practices were completed.
- The transfer of the Systematic Approach to Training methodology and materials developed at the Khmelnytskyy Training Center to the South Ukraine plant continues. A pilot training program for instrumentation and control technicians on soldering techniques and integrated circuit repair was developed and implemented.
- To complement the pilot training course on instrumentation and control for soldering, soldering equipment has been purchased for the plant. Basic equipment, including a computer with network capabilities, a printer, and associated consumables, was provided for the development and support of training.
- A South Ukraine staff member was trained to conduct internal quality assurance audits.
Engineering and Technology Upgrades
- Six advanced ultrasonic flaw detectors were delivered to the plant.
Plant Safety Evaluations
- The in-depth safety assessment for Unit 1 is in progress. Probabilistic risk assessment project guidelines have been completed for system descriptions, nuclear steam supply system database, component reliability database, abnormal events database, containment database, and preliminary thermal-hydraulic models.
