Safety and Reliability of NPP
Guaranteeing the safety and reliability of NPPs requires a comprehensive assessment of whether the plant is operated in accordance with the actual project, with the applicable national safety requirements and with the relevant limits and conditions. The range of support activities offered by UJV Rez covers both legislative and operational aspects.
From a legislative point of view, the principal activities include nuclear safety demonstrations for nuclear power plant commissioning and lifetime extension, or other legally required safety demonstrations such as facility reconstructions, changes in operating conditions, or other changes that may affect nuclear safety.
From the operational point of view, we perform a series of support activities to monitor and control operational parameters, and evaluate deviations from nominal parameters, including streamline operational, control, and maintenance activities, etc. Based on the results of these support activities, we design the necessary measures to increase operational reliability and safety.
Safety assessment is implemented by:
- Continuous monitoring of nuclear and technical safety (supervision, inspection, testing)
- Deterministic assessment of nuclear safety (safety assessment reports)
- Probabilistic assessment of nuclear safety (the so-called "living probability safety assessment" - Living PSA and its applications – e.g.: Safety Monitor)
- All the abovementioned activities include the latest research and development findings
