THE NEXT NPP UNIT WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH THE NEW GENERATION IN-CORE MONITORING SYSTEM

In January 2025, the acceptance tests of the set of hardware and software of the upper level of the new generation in-core monitoring system SVRK-M2 for the South-Ukraine NPP were conducted on the site of SRPA “Impulse”.

SVRK-M2 ensures the following:

• monitoring “mixed” loads with fuel of any suppliers including loads with fuel rod assembly of a different fuel rod height;
• monitoring 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.

The acceptance commission consisting of the representatives of the South-Ukraine NPP, SNRI, and SRPA “Impulse” concluded: the presented set of the upper level of SVRK-M2 with the documentation fully meets the requirements set forth in TOR, regulations, rules and standards on nuclear and radiation safety including the requirements for cybersecurity, and is ready to be supplied to the South-Ukraine NPP.
