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 />

Threshold effect on the progress <strong>of</strong> the process is provided by discharge <strong>of</strong> the accumulator<br />

batteries (after about 10 hours). After that the operator does not dispose in<strong>for</strong>mation on unit<br />

parameters and shall per<strong>for</strong>m accident management actions blindly.<br />

If an event occurs at power operations or in cold condition with pressurized primary circuit,<br />

threshold effect is provided by exhaust <strong>of</strong> water reserve in the tanks <strong>of</strong> SG emergency make-up<br />

system. In the first case this effect is expected after about 28 hours, and in the second case – after 50<br />

hours.<br />

In case <strong>of</strong> depressurized reactor the threshold is start <strong>of</strong> core heating up which occurs<br />

relatively early – after less than 2 hours. During this period the operator shall prepare and start<br />

drainage <strong>of</strong> the hydro accumulators (preferable first to the cold part <strong>of</strong> the reactor). Drainage <strong>of</strong> the<br />

three hydro accumulators delays start <strong>of</strong> core heatup <strong>for</strong> 4 hours.<br />

5.1.1.4 Loss <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>f-site power supply, emergency diesel-generators, additional dieselgenerator<br />

and mobile diesel-generator<br />

5.1.1.4.1 Capacity <strong>of</strong> the batteries, operational time period and capabilities to recharge them in<br />

this situation<br />

See par. 5.1.1.2.2.<br />

5.1.1.4.2 Actions envisioned to provide mobile on-site or <strong>of</strong>f-site power supply sources<br />

See par.5.1.1.2.2.<br />

5.1.1.4.3 Time period required providing alternate current power supply and restoration <strong>of</strong> core<br />

cooling be<strong>for</strong>e fuel damage occurs. Threshold values in plant behaviour<br />

Assessments were per<strong>for</strong>med <strong>for</strong> conditions <strong>of</strong> the units, described in section <strong>of</strong> Ch.15<br />

[7],[8]. For each <strong>of</strong> the modes operator actions considered in the analyses, are specified, as aimed at<br />

prolongation <strong>of</strong> time period be<strong>for</strong>e fuel damage occurs.<br />

deaerator)<br />

2 Shut down reactor, planned cooldown at pressurized primary<br />

circuit and drained SG<br />

(Considered: drainage <strong>of</strong> ECCS three hydro accumulators.)<br />

3 Shut down reactor, planned cooldown at pressurized primary<br />

circuit and non-drained SG<br />
