The Leningrad NPP: over 30 international experts have discussed the achievements in risk monitoring
Late March 33 experts from 7 countries – Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic – have shared their best practices and achievements in risk monitoring systems’ development and implementation and discussed the topical issues in risk management development at the Leningrad NPP training center.
The seminar was held under the auspices of the WANO – The World Association of Nuclear Operators.
Risk monitoring is a new technology in NPP power blocks control and security management adopted from the financial industry, where it has been in service for a while. Risk monitoring is a way to identify, analyze, and plan to react to the new risks, track the risks previously identified, and to verify and perform the risk response operation, as well as to evaluate those operations’ efficiency.
The NPP risks monitoring aims at making the power blocks exploitation safe with the minimal economic losses. At the moment, the Leningrad NPP actively introduces the risk-informative methods, specifically risk monitoring, to keep the power blocks operating safely. The plant has installed the Risk Watcher suite where operators can input the data on their activities and track online the way the plant’s safety probability indices are changing.
When opening the session, the Leningrad NPP Chief Engineer Konstantin Kudriavtsev said: “Our goal is not to overwhelm our staff, but rather to make the risk monitoring easy to use. That is why we would like you to see how our personal uses the risks monitoring at the power block with the capacity set and the full-scale technical maintenance and service, and share your best practices in using similar products”.
The Leningrad NPP Head of Engineering and Maintenance department Alexey Makushkin has noted: “The risk monitor helps us solve a practical matter: how to make the most of the security probability analysis that is obligatory for every plant”.
The seminar participants have spoken about their positive experience in risk monitor usage at the Leningrad NPP and have raised a number of questions on the risk monitoring technology implementation and the way it helps to improve the security control and management system at the plant. For example, this risk monitor promotes optimization of the technical maintenance procedures and the security equipment repairs.
At the end of the seminar, the participants have drafted an aide-memoire they are to finalize offline once they get back home and review the information they have received from each other.
The Leningrad NPP is an affiliate company for Rosenergoatom Concern OJSC. The plant is based in the city of Sosnovy Bor, 40 km to the west from Saint Petersburg at the Gulf of Finland shore. The Leningrad NPP is the first Russian nuclear power plant having RBMK-1000 reactors (uranium-graphite channel-type thermal neutron reactors). The NPP exploits 4 power blocks with the electric capacity of 1000 megawatt each.
