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 />

Option<br />

4 Shut down reactor, planned cooldown at depressurized primary<br />

circuit<br />

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

7:28<br />

Time to fuel<br />

damage<br />

(h:min)<br />

5 Shut down reactor, outage cooldown<br />

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

3 days after shutdown 9:15<br />

18 days after shutdown 16:53<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 the pressurized primary<br />

circuit and non-drained SG, threshold effect is drainage <strong>of</strong> the SG. In order to prevent rapid increase<br />

<strong>of</strong> fuel temperature it is required within 6 to 8 (up to 9 in cold condition) hours to ensure water<br />

supply to the SG.<br />

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

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

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

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

5.1.2 Measures to improve robustness at loss <strong>of</strong> power supply<br />

1. 2 new mobile DGs will be delivered, and the existing one will remain standby <strong>for</strong> the<br />

remaining structures at the <strong>NPP</strong> area;<br />

2. Power supply is provided <strong>for</strong> charging <strong>of</strong> the accumulator batteries <strong>of</strong> the safety systems<br />

from mobile DG;<br />

5.1.3 Loss <strong>of</strong> ultimate heat sink<br />

5.1.3.1 Design bases to remove heat to main ultimate sink at different operational conditions<br />

Decay heat sources at power units 5 and 6 are as follows:<br />

· Core decay heat;<br />

· Fuel pool decay heat.<br />

The main ultimate heat sink <strong>for</strong> the nuclear installations at the <strong>Kozloduy</strong> <strong>NPP</strong> is Danube<br />

River. Connection to the ultimate heat sink is provided via direct scheme from the service water<br />
