Objective
The aim of the project was to provide transfer, application and verification of Western codes to the Safety Authorities of Russia (GAN-RF) and the Technical Safety Organizations (TSOs) and to provide assistance to the verification and validation of Russian codes used for safety analyses of Russian pressurized water reactors (VVER type reactors).
The activities consisted mainly in the definition and installation of the technical infrastructure (computers and network) and implementation of the French and the German codes dealing with thermal hydraulics and with severe accident processes on these computers. In connection with the code implementation, computer and code training along with exchange of knowledge on safety approaches have been provided in order to get a common understanding of the phenomenology in Western Light Water Reactors (LWRs) and Russian VVER reactors during loss of coolant accidents, transients and severe accidents.
Result
The project was executed according to the objective and the TOR.
