Rovno NPP Unit 2 Hardware and Pipes
Residual Fatigue Lifetime Diagnostics System
Implementation

October 28, 2011

The Start-Up and Site Acceptance Test of the System for Residual Fatigue Lifetime Diagnostics (RFLDS) of the Rovno NPP Unit 2 hardware and pipes has been successfully completed at Rovno NPP site. The RFLDS has been put into pilot operation.

The system is analogous to the RFLDS of the Rovno NPP Unit 1 that was put into operation a few months ago. The RFLDS has been designed for computerized monitoring of cumulative fatigue damages and assessment of residual fatigue lifetimes of the VVER-440/VVER-1000 reactor vessel; pressure compensator; steam generators; main coolant pipes; and other hardware of the power unit.

The RFLDS design, manufacture and supply to Ukrainian NPPs are provided by “Technostandart” Research Institute (Kharkov, Ukraine), “Gidropress” Design Bureau (Podolsk, Russia) and Westron LLC (Kharkov, Ukraine).

The similar systems for NPPs with power units VVER-1000 successfully operate at Khmelnitsky (Unit 2) and Rovno (Unit 4) NPPs since 2008.
