WWER-1000 REACTOR PLANT

• Evolutionary approach to development is applied in the design, i.e. proven technologies, units, systems and experience in designing, manufacturing and operation of the previous generation of WWER nuclear power plants are mainly used.
• The design is developed for a wider spectrum (in comparison with reactor plants of the previous generation) of normal operating conditions. Reactor plant is designed for reactor nominal thermal power of 3000 MW and 30-year service life.
• Advanced equipment and additional passive safety systems in combination with active and conventional passive systems are used in the project, which improves reliability of the reactor plant equipment and allows one to more effectively prevent and mitigate consequences of design basis and beyond design basis accidents (BDBA).
• The design is in compliance with the requirements of current standards and codes.
