Kursk NPP Р Preparations for Scheduled Integrated Emergency Response Exercise
In September 2012 Kursk NPP will carry out an integrated emergency response exercise (KPU-2012) together with a team of emergency assistance to nuclear power plants (OPAS), involving forces and means of the concerned ministries and branches of the government.
KPU-2012 will be carried out in accordance with the 2011-2015 schedule of nuclear emergency response exercises, involving the team OPAS, and the instructive regulation of the General Director of Rosenergoatom Concern.
Rosenergoatom Concern annually carries out integrated emergency response exercises at one of the nuclear power plants of Russia.
Within the exercise, there will be worked out an alert under the conventional technological and radiation accident at the nuclear plant, interaction between the involved emergency response agencies, as well as practical skills of the staff of Kursk NPP in realization of activities on organization and performance of works on localization and recovery of a disaster, including sheltering and the plant staff evacuation.
KPU-2010 scenario includes a variety of activities of emergency and rescue units: the use of sound signals, movement of special vehicles, armored vehicles, helicopters and planes flying.
To supervise the exerciseХs progress, to Kurchatov there will arrive the Russian and foreign inspectors, representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and journalists.
Kursk NPP is a branch of Rosenergoatom Concern, and in this guise it is a part of Rosatom Nuclear Energy State Corporation. The plant is situated south-westward of Kursk on the left bank of the river Seym. The nuclear power plant operates four power units with pressurized-tube reactors with the total capacity of 4 million kW. The power units were connected to the Unified Energy System of the country in 1976-1985. In 1994-2009 they were upgraded. Kursk NPP is the largest in the Central Black Earth Region electric power generating source.
