Objectives
The hermetic cable penetrations through containments in VVER-1000 were of low quality. Therefore the Beneficiary asked to replace them with CIS manufactured Auxitrol-type and -quality ones.
The Russian side was seeking to extend another already existing joint venture with Auxitrol (where parts of penetrations were already manufactured) so that hermetic cable penetrations for VVER-213/1000 could be manufactured there.
The project, which in addition to the TACIS funding, benefitted from various other financial sources, will cover the following areas:
- Project management activities;
- Preliminary studies;
- Equipment acquisition support;
- Supply the Beneficiary with assistance and support in the purchase,
- installation and set-up of machinery required to manufacture the penetrations;
- Equipment installation activities support;
- Assistance to the Beneficiary and supervision of the activities required for the installation, testing and start-up of new equipment at the factory in Komsomolski;
- Assistance for obtaining the approval by local authorities;
- Assistance in obtaining the approval by relevant authorities of the new manufacturing line of ELOX and of the product qualification by GOSATOMNADZOR;
- Training in equipment operation and maintenance;
- Transfer of electrical penetration design technology;
- Training of the Beneficiary’s staff in international applicable regulations, codes and standards;
- Application of codes and standards to the study and construction of penetrations and of the set of penetrations;
- Training in control and Quality Assurance;
- Transfer of penetrations manufacturing know-how;
