Kursk NPP is Monitored for Rosatom Production System Development
On June 20-21, 2012 there was conducted a monitoring of Rosatom Production System (RPS) development at Kursk NPP in the areas of repair, warehousing and spent nuclear fuel (SNF) handling.
Under the guidance of Director of the Department for the Production Development of Rosatom State Corporation, Nikolay Antonov, the monitoring was conducted by the specialists of JSC PSR with the participation of Chief Engineer of Moscow Office of TENEX Japan Company, Suetsugu Kazuhide. The specialists of Kursk nuclear power plant and Kursk branch of JSC Atomenergoremont took part in the work.
Within the frame of the monitoring, the specialists learned the operational experience and results of RPS system implementation at Kursk NPP.
The Production System Rosatom has been implemented at Kursk NPP since April, 2010. In 2011 due to use of RPS tools, the duration of repair campaigns was significantly reduced. As a result, the estimated additional electricity generation amounted to about 216 million kWh of electricity. In warehousing, there substantially were reduced stocks of inventory with long storage time, and other positive results were achieved.
In 2012 as part of RPS development, there were created working groups with full involvement of the maintenance staff of Kursk NPP and Kursk branch of JSC Atomenergoremont. Specific measures on more complete and efficient use of tools of RPS have been worked out.
The experts, who conducted the monitoring, inspected working areas in the turbine island of the nuclear power plant, TAI shop premises, SNF storage, and storage facilities.
As a result of monitoring, there have been given recommendations on RPS development at Kursk NPP and Kursk branch of JSC Atomenergoremont. There was prepared a protocol, which defined the terms of supervision for the planned.
At the present time, Kursk NPP operates the power units No.2, 3 and 4. The units work at the capacity rated by the dispatch schedule. The power unit No.1 has been being under the scheduled midlife maintenance.
The radiation background in the area of Kursk NPP and the adjacent territory corresponds to the level of power unitsХ normal operation and does not exceed the natural environmental values.
On line detailed data on the radiation environment near nuclear power plants in Russia and other nuclear facilities are provided on website russianatom.ru
