Kola NPP: On-Site Assistance

Description

Objective

According to the intention of the European Union and the Russian Ministry of Atomic Power the operational safety assistance, which started with TACIS 92, continued with TACIS 97. The Western Utility Emsland, which started the operational safety assistance on Kola NPP from 1993 onwards, was replaced by Fortum.

Setting up of a Technical Specification (TS);
