AT KHMELNYTSKYI NPP, SVRK-M2 LOWER-LEVEL EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN PUT INTO OPERATION
At Khmelnytskyi NPP Unit 2, the lower-level equipment and the additional functions of the upper-level software of the in-core monitoring system SVRK-M2 have been put into trial operation.
This was preceded by positive results of the separated and integrated tests. A working committee headed by the chief engineer of the Khmelnytskyi NPP decided to accept the lower-level equipment and additional software functions for trial operation.
SVRK-M2 ensures the following:
- monitoring of “mixed” loads with fuel of any suppliers including loads with fuel rod assembly of a different fuel rod height;
- monitoring of loads with fuel profiled in axial and radial manners;
- possibility to directly monitor linear power density at the fuel element level;
- electronic album of neutron-physical characteristics based on predictive functions of the system;
- informational support for an operator in power maneuvering modes.
