The Kalinin NPP: the WANO experts have given big points to the radiation control measures at the plant
On March 21-25, 2016, the experts of the Moscow Regional Center for the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) have paid a visit to the Kalinin NPP as a part of the WANO technical support mission in order to elaborate recommendations on the radiation control processes at the plant.
During those five days, the experts have analyzed the documents, observed the way the production operations are carried out, and interviewed the Kalinin NPP top management and employees. The WANO has paid special attention to the way radiation control measures are imposed, the best practices in radiation-dangerous activities, and the methodology of personnel training in rational safety.
“Dosimetry calls for high responsibility and accuracy. We do our best to make sure it works well, and we care a lot about our colleagues’ experience and point of view”, Yury Mamontov, the Deputy head of radiation control department at the Kalinin NPP, has commented on the WANO expert team visit. “We will certainly review their recommendations and implement them to further enhance our radiation safety system”.
At the end of the visit the WANO representative, Vladimir Glazunov, has noted that the mission has attained its goals. “Our team consists of true professionals doing the best job anyone can do”, he said.
The mission consisted of experts from the Moscow Regional Center for WANO, and the representatives of the Smolensk NPP, the Khmelnitskiy NPP, and the FSUE “Atomflot”.
The World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) unites all NPP maintenance organizations. Its aim is to foster the existing nuclear power plants’ security and reliability globally. The Association consists of four regional centers based in Moscow, Atlanta, Paris, and Tokyo, and the coordination center being located in London.
The Kalininskaya nuclear power plant is a branch of the JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom". The station is located in the north of the Tver region in the Udomelskiy area. There are four power units with water-cooled power reactors (VVER-1000) with installed capacity of 1000 MW each in the structure of the Kalininskaya nuclear power station.
