Project Aims
The objective of the present continuation project was to provide a level of quality and effectiveness of In-Service Inspection equivalent to the level of European practice. For this reason it was necessary to complete the ISI-programme for VVER 440-213 type primary circuit components of high safety concern that have not been covered by the project Phare 1.02/94.
The project consisted in the improvement of ISI for three additional inspection areas, suggested and justified by the main Beneficiary:

• Main circulation pump (MCP) shell to elbow weld;
• Longitudinal weld of MCP elbow;
• Pressurizer nozzle to transition nozzle dissimilar weld;

Project Results
The project was completed into the same phases as the original project to enable a sufficient level of integration:

• Evaluate ISI effectiveness for selected inspection area;
• Provide an additional development programme and planning;
• Supply of test assemblies and calibration blocks;
• Supply of inspection procedures;
• Define inspection qualification for all the inspection areas;
• Perform inspection qualification for at least one inspection area;
• Evaluate the improved ISI effectiveness;
• Present the proposed activities to the reviewers (ENIQ, AMES, NESC, …) and to the local Safety Authorities.
