On December 5, Chornobyl NPP has obtained a certificate confirming its readiness for operation of the First Commissioning Stage (CS-1) of NSC.
This means that the CS-1 scope of work is fully completed. It includes designing and construction of the permanent NSC foundations, the main Arch structure together with the encasement and the main crane system, the general internal NSC configuration, the solid insulating coating of the sections inside NSC, the sites, as well as designing, manufacturing, construction (installation) and commissioning of the technological life support systems and NSC condition monitoring systems and external engineering networks to connect NSC life support systems to ChNPP systems.
In addition, within the CS-1 framework, construction and commissioning of a new ventilation stack of Chornobyl NPP second stage and old VS-2 dismantling was performed prior to the Arch sliding to the design position.
On December 3-4, the Chornobyl NPP hosted the delegations from China and Uzbekistan under the International Cooperation Development Program.
On November 13-14, the ChNPP site has been visited by the delegation from the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI).
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.
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.
