SUMMARY REPORT<br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>Conduct</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kozloduy</strong> <strong>NPP</strong><br />

<strong>Stress</strong> <strong>Tests</strong><br />

· Average annual precipitations – 520 mm<br />

· Snow cover – not durative, maximum up to 30-40 days, typically do not exceed 15-<br />

20 cm<br />

· Maximum recorded snow cover 80 cm with 3% recurrence<br />

· Dominating wind direction – west and north west<br />

· Average annual wind speed 1-4 m/s<br />

· Days with wind speed over 11,0 m/s – 69<br />

· Days with wind speed over 16,0 m/s – 4-5 days<br />

· Extreme wind speed - 45 m/s<br />

The facilities at the site are designed be<strong>for</strong>e the 80-ies <strong>of</strong> the 20th century according to the<br />

regulations and standards applicable at the time. Changes in regulations and standards lead to a<br />

change in design requirements and implementation <strong>of</strong> large-scale programs <strong>for</strong> modernization and<br />

safety improvement <strong>of</strong> all nuclear facilities on the site, including with respect to seismic effects.<br />

Activities associated with retraining and ensuring seismic stability <strong>of</strong> the equipment <strong>of</strong> safety<br />

systems and civil structures with regard to increased seismic impact were completed in full-scale.<br />

Buildings in which safety related systems and components are located are I seismic category<br />

and are not directly affected by extreme weather phenomena.<br />

4.3.1 Review <strong>of</strong> meteorological conditions used as design basis <strong>for</strong> SSCs ensuring<br />

safety <strong>of</strong> Units 3 and 4 and structures margins assessment<br />

4.3.1.1 Extreme winds<br />

4.3.1.1.1 Main building, Turbine Hall, CPS 2 and DGS 2<br />

In the period 1997-2000 seismic strengthening <strong>of</strong> the main building, Turbine Hall,<br />

Circulation Pump Station 2 and Diesel Generator Station 2 was implemented in accordance with the<br />

requirements <strong>of</strong> "Load and effects on buildings and equipment" 1989.<br />

Standard wind load in the current design basis <strong>of</strong> the buildings meet the requirements <strong>of</strong><br />

[141] on the standard value <strong>of</strong> the wind - 0,48 kN/m 2 and calculated value - 0.67 kN/m 2 .<br />

Per<strong>for</strong>med seismic strengthening measures lead to increased reliability <strong>of</strong> the buildings <strong>for</strong><br />

bearing loads from wind. The seismic rein<strong>for</strong>cements are valid <strong>for</strong> the determination <strong>of</strong> the required<br />

capacity <strong>of</strong> the building to bear horizontal loads (from seismic impacts and wind). Due to the nature<br />

<strong>of</strong> the rein<strong>for</strong>ced concrete structure the seismic <strong>for</strong>ce exceeds the load from the extreme wind by<br />

many times, there<strong>for</strong>e the buildings have the capacity to bear also extreme wind loads.<br />
