Westron's Information Bulletin No. 1 (June 1998)

Replacement of the earlier existing Computing&Information System "URAN" (CIS "Uran") at the South-Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant No.1 for a new CIS "Vulkan" developed by Consortium Westron

The start-up and tuning activities at the South Ukraine NPP Power Unit 1 that are directed at commissioning of Distributed Computer System (DCS) developed by Consortium Westron (named as "CIS Vulkan") are about to be completed.

The CIS Vulkan is a new generation of the system intended for modernization of the Computing & Information Systems "Uran" and "Titan" earlier installed at the NPP Power Units equipped with VVER-1000 type reactors. The DCS "CIS Vulkan" meets all the up-to-date requirements on systems of the class and provides to the NPP Main Control Room Operators additional possibilities in exercising monitoring of NPP Power Unit operating conditions.

Also the functions of Turbine-Generator Monitoring System (TGMS) and Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) are realized by the CIS Vulkan installed at the South-Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant No.1.

Interagency testing of the DCS "CIS Vulkan" is to be conducted within the period of June 15-21, 1998. The tests are to be performed following the direction from the side of the Ukrainian State Nuclear Power Generating Co. "Energoatom" (the Energoatom order No.209 of June 5, 1998).

Westron, within the frames of the VVER-1000 SPDS Program, has delivered a Development Unit for the purposes of the Operation Support Institute (the Ukrainian Agency recently established to provide a support in running of the Ukrainian NPPs). The DU is intended for development and debugging of the software. The DU composition: DPU cabinet, workstations, peripherals, basic software.

Westron has completed manufacture of a SPDS kit for the purposes of the Khmelnitsk Nuclear Power Plant (Ukraine).

two cabinets with the attached to them workstations (based on Sparc-5 and Ultra Sparc). The cabinets and workstations provide for interface with the Power Unit existing systems;
four cabinets of the DCS "CIS Vulkan" (intended for data acquisition from field sensors);
seven workstations;
peripherals.

The cabinet enclosures were manufactured by the Hartron-Plant Co. (a Hartron Co. branch).

The cabinet enclosure applied for the purpose of Distributed Computer System "Vulkan" is actually the enclosure that earlier had earlier been developed by Hartron-Enkos Co. for the purpose of "Veres" but then was modified for the purpose of "Vulkan".

Factory acceptance test (Phase 1 preliminary testing) of the KhNPP Unit 1 SPDS is scheduled for mid-June 1998.

The Steering Committee meeting on the VVER-1000 SPDS Program took place at the Consortium Westron on June 3-4, 1998. The meeting attendees: from the Ukrainian side: Energoatom Co., the Ukrainian State Scientific & Development Centre of NPP Monitoring & Emergency Systems, the Ukrainian State Scientific & Engineering Centre of Nuclear and Radiation Safety; from the USA side: Department of Energy, PNNL, Burns & Roe (USA), Westinghouse. In the course of the meeting the issue of the VVER-1000 SPDS Program implementation was given its consideration. The meeting attendees praised high the Westron activities on the SPDS Projects.
