Cooperation with the foreign countries since 1950s in the fields of NPP construction, establishing of nuclear research centres, exchange of scientific and engineering experience, training of engineering and scientific personnel

Wide references: Since 1960s more than 30 NPP units with VVER

reactors and 10 nuclear research centres have been constructed abroad (in the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Finland, Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria, Rumania, Poland, Libya, Egypt, China, etc.)

Loviisa NPP with VVER type reactors in Finland was recognized as one of the best worldwide

INTERNATIONAL SPECIALIZATIONINTERNATIONAL SPECIALIZATION

The Agreement on multilateral international specialization and cooperation in the manufacture and mutual supplies of NPP equipment for the period of 1981 – 1990 (June 1979)

Each country was specializing in manufacture of certain types of NPP equipment:CSSR – reactor plants, steam turbines, steam generators, pipelines of large diametersBulgaria – biological shield, condensers, axial and artesian pumpsHungary – refueling machines, special water treatment equipment East Germany – bridge cranes, transport-technological equipmentPoland – pressurizers, heat exchanging equipment, standby diesel generator plants, in-core instrumentation systemsRumania – accumulators of emergency core cooling system, MCPYugoslavia – bridge cranes, feedwater and special pumps, equipment of forced multiple circulation and drums-separators for RBMK reactors

AGREEMENTSAGREEMENTS

The agreements were aimed at training of national staff, joint choice and testing of nuclear reactor option for industrial NPP from the physical and technological points of view

NPP «Reinsberg» became a center of scientific and research activities of the nuclear engineering industry in GDR, and when a simulator was put in operation in 1974 it turned at the same time into a center of training and skill raising of NPP personnel from GDR and other countries-COMECON members

On the basis of NPP «Bohunice» was formed a large scientific and engineering center of nuclear engineering industry of Czechoslovakia which included the Nuclear Power Plant Research Institute (VUJE), NPP V-1 and V-2 «Bohunice», as well as a scientific center for personnel training

SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO CREATION OF SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO CREATION OF NUCLEAR ENGINEERING INFRASTRUCTURENUCLEAR ENGINEERING INFRASTRUCTURE

The large-scale cooperation with the countries of Eastern Europe during NPP construction wassystematic and integrated provided regular activities starting with sitingelaboration of design adapted for concrete conditionssupply of complete plant for NPP and finishing with performance of specific installation worksproviding technical assistance by all equipment installation supervisionNPP commencement works and putting in operation

STABILITY OF CREATED INFRASTRUCTURESTABILITY OF CREATED INFRASTRUCTURE

The infrastructure, created under assistance of Russian (Soviet) organizations, demonstrated its stability to political and economical changes

Technical and economic performances of the power units constructed with participation of Russian (Soviet) specialists were and continue being one of the best globally

With participation of Russian organizations, modernization activities have been performed and are being performed presently at NPP power units in Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia

SPECIFIC FEATURESSPECIFIC FEATURES OOF NUCLEAR POWER F NUCLEAR POWER PROJECTSPROJECTS

Higher capital costs

Prolonged process of permitting

Long construction period

Relatively low and constant operational costs

Significantly longer operational period (up to 60 years)

Risks related to nuclear fuel – for population, property, environment

Decommissioning costs and long term storage of spent fuel

Different life cycles of projects (different evaluation and financing principles) of “expensive” nuclear plant with long operational period

and cheap plant with short life cycle

LOCALIZATION GROWTH WITH NPP EXTENTION:

step-by-step increase of national participation for subsequent units

PERSONNEL EDUCATION AND TRAINING

SUBSTANTIAL USING OF LOCAL LABOR FORCES:

maximum possible participation of domestic companies in civil works

LICENSING SUPPORT

COLLABORATION IN NPP MODERNIZATION

COLLABORATION IN PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE IMPROVING :

exhibitions, seminars, workshops etc.

14

Language of technical documentation, including procedures

Russian – English – Official Language

Personnel training:

general education in Russian VVER technologies (operated NPP, simulator)

specific on-site simulator training (2 years before operation)

Differences in national regulatory requirements in user and supplier countries:

supplier supports User’s collaboration with Regulatory Authority

developed countries use IAEA recommendations
