    On December 3, the representatives from the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) started two-day visit to ChNPP in order to get familiar with the Exclusion Zone and its industrial facilities, and to hold working meetings relating to an opportunity of implementing future common projects and experience sharing.

    The China National Nuclear Corporation is a large state enterprise incorporating over 100 companies and institutions and works continuously together with 20 existing members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering Sciences.

    The Corporation works in R&D, performs construction activities and operates the facilities in different practical activities, particularly, in electrical energy generation at NPPs and in development and application of nuclear technologies. Besides, the CNNC maintains the international economic cooperation and deals with export-import operations.

    ДСП «Чорнобильська АЕС» повідомляє про наміри щодо розробки робочого проекту «Капітальний ремонт покрівлі будівлі офісного центру ДСП «ЧАЕС» по вул. 77-ї Гвардійської дивізії, 7/1, 7/2, 7/3, 7/5 у м. Славутич Київської області».

    Виконання капітального ремонту покрівлі будівлі передбачене в таких об'ємах: повна заміна всіх несучих і огороджувальних конструкцій покрівлі (крім покрівлі в осях 14:23-1: Л); відновлення теплотехнічних характеристик покриття шляхом повної заміни утеплювача; заміна пристрою слухових вікон і перехідного майданчика для огляду і обслуговування покрівлі; відновлення примикань і усунення протікання на ділянці в осях 14: 23-1: JI.

    On November 13-14, the ChNPP site has been visited by the delegation from the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI).

    KAERI was established in 1959 as a unified vocational scientific and research nuclear energy institute of the South Korea and quickly gained a reputation of a center for research and developments in different areas.

    The visit of KAERI experts was preceded by a trip of specialists from ChNPP and the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management (SAEZM) to the Republic of Korea.

    The objective of that visit was to present Ukrainian experience in the area of ChNPP accident mitigation, its decommissioning, and RAW management. Besides, our experts got familiar with KAERI’s experience relating to development and testing of technologies for decommissioning of nuclear facilities, they visited a simulator for dismantling process assessment which combines 3D-modeling and remotely controlled mechanisms.

    On 12 and 13 November the Chornobyl NPP hosted the International Insurance Survey of the World System of Nuclear Insurance Pools. The survey’s task — to assess the ChNPP key facilities (both interim storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel, NSC, complexes for radioactive waste management, etc.) and develop an engineering report on risks of its third party liability insurance for nuclear damage that can be inflicted to their life, health and property.

    According to Valeriy Seyda, the ChNPP First Deputy Director General, possession of an insurance certificate is of great importance for the Plant, as, without it, it is impossible to obtain the operating licenses for the NSC and ISF-2 after completing their construction.

    “A facility must be assessed prior to its insurance. In our case [in case of Chornobyl NPP — ed.] it is a very complex technological site. Here we are carrying out the engineering assessment of risks,” — comments the survey Oleksandr Babenko, the Director General of the Ukrainian Nuclear Insurance Pool.

    Starting from 21st October up to 8th November 2019, the advance training course on BROKK manipulators hands-on repair and maintenance has been taking place at ChNPP site. Such manipulators are being used at the Industrial Complex for Solid Radioactive Waste Management.

    The training course is being delivered by Belgian TECNUBEL within the cooperation project with ChNPP, which has been going on for the last two years. The project is financed from the government fund of Belgium.

    The course provides for tutorials and hands-on training on making replacement of BROKK manipulator hydraulic components. The instructors – Project Manager and Product Expert Tarik Bouayad and Senior Experts Pier Collette and Nizar Belgacem – simulate various emergency events, and the course participants – ChNPP workers – have to run diagnostics and find out the solution for the simulated problem.

    1. Free Release Facility tests commenced
    2. Belgian experience in RAW management
    3. Mural has been painted at ChNPP
    4. Radiation Protection Training for US Specialists
