Monitoring of Rosatom Production System Development Is Held at Rostov Nuclear Power Plant

The problems of RPS development at the time of repair works (in particular, scheduled outage at Unit 2) and storage facilities were the focus of the monitoring. Manager of RPS project, Alexander Grubov, speaking on the objective of the monitoring, stressed: ТThe most important in RPS development is the production analysis: a clear hourly scheduling of works, tasks description and aggregation of information on the performance of work, ability to keep the unexpected moments under control.У

Rostov nuclear power plant is one of few nuclear power plants, which applies hourly schedules of repair works broken down into items in the turbine house. In the monitoring, this was noted as a positive practice. Also, the inspectors noted a positive momentum in the use of special boxes for tools storage used to repair a turbogenerator.  

During the monitoring, there was revealed a need for greater activity by employees of the plant in submitting, in writing, proposals on the improvement, as all the suggestions on the production development and loss reduction, as a rule, were more likely to be submitted orally.  

 In the whole, Rosatom State Corporation inspectors revealed great potential of the management and staff of Rostov NPP for the RPS development, and recorded good results of RPS implementation at the production.
The next monitoring will take place at Rostov NPP in August during the scheduled outage at Unit 1.

 In February of 2012, at Rostov NPP there passed a workshop and monitoring of Rosatom Production System development (RPS). The event was attended by the specialists of the maintenance staff, main shops and subdivisions of the nuclear power plant, consultants of JSC PSR of Rosatom and Department for Maintenance Service and Reparation of Rosenergoatom Concern. RPS seminar was aimed at the improvement of work places, workout of technological operations for the staff to be able to work more efficiently, taking into account comfort and safe performance of operations. For the analysis of the knowledge acquired, there have been created work teams from the number of specialists of various branches of activity of the enterprise, which had worked out some real problems in practice. There were made suggestions on every work place to reduce the operational costs revealed, make the on-site labour more productive, high-quality and safe.
