Warnings
• IAEO-Generaldirektor El Baradei, New Orleans , Nov. 03:
– „We cannot afford another accident“
• WANO Chair Hajimu Maeda, Okt. 03:– “a terrible disease that originates within the
organization”– “a major accident” … “destroy the whole
organization“

Extension of Operational Life-Time: WWER-Related Aspects
Main focus on ageing at VVER–plants:
• Reactor vessel [1]
• Ageing of components
• Confinement tightness
• Internals, Piping
• Concrete
RPV Embrittlement
• VVER 440/ 213 End of Life depends on weld Radiation Embrittlement
• Radiation Embrittlement depends on P and Cu contents

Extension of Operational Life-Time: Paks-Related Aspects
Systematic preparatory work for long-term operation of Paks NPP WWER-440/213 units had started in 2000 and is on going [2]
Ageing Management (AM) measures concentrated for Paks NPP on:- RPV embrittlement- Leaking of confinement due to liner degradation,- Seismic resistance of bubbler condenser )- Corrosion of SG heat exchange tubes (magnetite problem)- etc.

Extension of Operational Life-Time: Paks-Related Aspects
Additional Questions: •International programms & experiences from RPV embrittlement studies e.g. Rovno 1 and 2, Kola NPP sufficietly considered?
• Different studies are focused on the RPV base materials and weldings: The condition of metal of the RPV is known as essential for VVER-440 life time [3]

Resources
• WEC 2000: 62.000 t/a -> 2015 80.000t/a
• 4Mio t U235 reasonably assured + estimated additional -> 41a
• 10Mio t U235 highly speculative -> 95a

Present & Future Plants
• Generation 2• Generation 3 u. 3+• Generation 4
Up to Generation 3+ based on fissile U235
Generation 4 mainly based on dangerous Plutonium or Uranium 233
U238 -> Pu239 or Th232 -> U233

Generation 4
• No severe accident• No long lived waste• No matter for proliferation • Cheap
Ordinary fast breeder! „Pu economy“
![Page 29: Safety of WWER Reactors Wolfgang Kromp Institute of Risk Research University of Vienna Budapest, 23.04.2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649d245503460f949faa8a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Generation 4
• “We have not found and, based on current knowledge, do not believe it is realistic to expect that there are new reactor and fuel cycle technologies that simultaneously overcome the problems of cost, safety, waste, and proliferation”
MIT (2003), op. cit., p. 76.
