International Insurance Inspection has started its work at the Novovoronezh NPP
On March 14, 2012 a team of International Insurance Inspection headed by Bruce Kettle (Great Britain) has started re-inspection of the plant power units at the Novovoronezh NPP.
One of the main purposes of inspection, which will take place within two days at the oldest industrial NPP of the country, will be assessment of the insurance risk for insurance liabilities towards the third parties.
Besides, the inspection consisting of the inspectors from the Russian nuclear insurance pool and the representatives of the Russian Association of Nuclear Insurers will analyze the common problems of safety and control carrying out of own recommendations on improving of the NNPP operation, which were given according to the results of the last years inspection.
At the meeting of senior and mid-level NPP heads with the inspectors, the Deputy Chief Engineer for safety and reliability Aleksander Prytkov has reported that organizational and technical measures on elimination of the comments revealed during the first inspection were carried out
The Technical Director of the pool Mr. Bruce Kettle noted from his side that these remarks became a consequence of difficult period related to hard work of the NPP collective on deep modernization of the 5th power unit. At once the inspector from the Great Britain was impressed by the operational efficiency with which the staff performs recommendations on improving the NNPP operation.
Deputy Chief Engineer on engineering maintenance and upgrading Viktor Loskutov pointed out the modernization of the main electric circuitry of the plant as a top-priority task for 2012-2013 years. Besides, he gave an example of the behavior of investment which had been invested in equipment modernization of the NPP for the last five years.
Within two days work the inspectors will have to make the round of the three operating NPP power units, examining all the plantХs available premises including the central hall with a spent nuclear fuel pool and liquid radioactive waste reprocessing plant.
On March 15 final meeting is scheduled to discuss the results of re-inspection.
The Novovoronezh NPP is a branch of the ТRosenergoatom ConcernУ OJSC. The plant is situated on the bank of the Don river at 42 km to the south of Voronezh. It is the first NPP in Russia, which operates reactors of VVER-type (Vessel type Pressurized Water Reactor with light water under pressure). Each of the five plant reactors are prime Р prototype of serial power reactors: the No.1 power unit operates on VVER-210-type reactor, the No.2 power unit Р VVER-365, No.3,4 power units Р VVER-440, No.5 power unit Р VVER-1000.
Nowadays the three power units are on operation (the No.1,2 power units were stopped in 1984 and 1990 respectively).
