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 />

It should be noted that as consequences from destruction <strong>of</strong> the turbine hall rupture <strong>of</strong> the<br />

pipeline connected to the SG can be anticipated, i.e. the unit will go into an accident situation with<br />

isolable break in the secondary circuit. Termination <strong>of</strong> the leak in the secondary circuit (that ensure<br />

termination <strong>of</strong> non-controlled cooldown <strong>of</strong> the primary circuit and prevention <strong>of</strong> potential <strong>for</strong> PTS<br />

process) required closing <strong>of</strong> all MSIVs. The seismic impacts <strong>of</strong> this range do not affect functionality<br />

<strong>of</strong> main steam isolation valve and the valves <strong>of</strong> its binding, due to which it can be accepted that SG<br />

isolation will be fully successful. Due to loss <strong>of</strong> I&C equipment may require the operating<br />

personnel to duplicate the action <strong>of</strong> the automation from MCR.<br />

The loss <strong>of</strong> make-up and blowdown system (caused by the loss <strong>of</strong> auxiliary sections)<br />

predetermines termination <strong>of</strong> sealing water supply to the reactor coolant pump seals. As fro this<br />

range <strong>of</strong> the seismic impacts there is no loss <strong>of</strong> intermediate circuit system, then the primary circuit<br />

integrity does not fail.<br />

There<strong>for</strong>e, to cope with the accident process per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>of</strong> the safety functions <strong>of</strong> the<br />

remaining available equipment is required.<br />

For the overall per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>of</strong> the function to ensure sub-criticality it is required that at least<br />

one the following systems: high pressure emergency boron injection system or medium pressure<br />

emergency core cooling system remain operable. The analysis in [44], demonstrates:<br />

· medium pressure emergency core cooling system remains operable after the<br />

earthquake. For Unit 5, however, only two trains <strong>of</strong> the system are available due to failure <strong>of</strong><br />

the first train <strong>of</strong> the essential components service water supply system;<br />

· high pressure emergency boron injection system remains operable after the<br />

earthquake.<br />

It follows from the above stated that per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>of</strong> the function <strong>for</strong> both units can be<br />

ensured as due to remaining high level <strong>of</strong> redundancy.<br />

Primary circuit heat removal function will be affected both by the earthquake and by the<br />

flooding as:<br />

· Seismically induced failure <strong>of</strong> the SG makeup water system due to destruction <strong>of</strong> the<br />

turbine hall, some reduction <strong>of</strong> resources <strong>for</strong> per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>of</strong> the functions be<strong>for</strong>e the<br />

emergency feedwater systems and SG alternative makeup system.<br />

· Emergency feedwater pumps fail as the result <strong>of</strong> flooding <strong>of</strong> rooms with water<br />

supplied from adjacent rooms. this failure, however is anticipated at the accident progress<br />

much later phase in time.<br />

· The steam generators alternative makeup system will not be affected by the<br />

earthquake and the water level, but movement <strong>of</strong> MDG may be hindered. The system can be<br />

used to <strong>for</strong> makeup <strong>of</strong> only one <strong>of</strong> the two units as the power supply source MDG is the only<br />

one at the site.<br />
