The specialists discussed issues related to the specifics of commissioning and operating the main and auxiliary equipment, as well as the safety systems of the reactor compartment. The expert delegation included representatives of WANO, Atomtekhenergo, Leningrad, Novovoronezh and Belarusian nuclear power plants. 

“The accumulated experience of Novovoronezh nuclear scientists, who were the first to go through all the stages of commissioning power units of a similar project, as well as information about the peculiarities of reactor operation in maneuverable modes, will be useful to our colleagues in the future, when they come close to the start-up campaign,” noted the deputy head of the reactor department of the Novovoronezh NPP Pavel Ognerubov. - Events organized by WANO involve not only the transfer of one’s experience, but also the assessment of the work of colleagues and the creative perception of their achievements. I would like to note the high culture of safety and labor protection during construction, installation and commissioning work at the Tianwan NPP site.” 

WANO support missions are carried out regularly at all nuclear power plants. This allows nuclear power plants to improve production processes and maximize safety.
