More than 30 RPVs for VVER-1000 had been


manufactured
RPV integrity is assured within design lifetime for all NPP
with VVER-1000
Lifetime extension can be justified for the most of VVER1000 RPVs without any serious mitigation measures
Designing, manufacturing and operation experience has
shown that there are possibilities to improve RPV design of
this type. These possibilities have been implemented within
the framework of the AES-2006 project
Strategy of development of AES-2006 project lies in
perfection and development of design and technological
decisions proved in frame of the previous projects

AES-2006 RPV integrity assessment


RPV integrity is assured during design specified lifetime
(60 years of operation)
PTS analysis

Fatigue analysis

MONITORING OF RPV METAL STATE DURING


OPERATION (AES-2006 SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM)

One of the basic idea of the new surveillance program is to


come to one effecting operational factor: fluence for irradiated
surveillance specimens and time for temperature surveillance
specimens.
A problem of evaluation and consideration of inhomogeneity of
properties of RPV materials is separated from a problem of
evaluation of different operational factors influence.
AES-2006 surveillance program was developed for the long
term of operation - comparing with VVER-1000 the number of
sets is twice increased
16

MONITORING OF RPV METAL STATE DURING


OPERATION (SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM)
Irradiated surveillance sets are located opposite
to the core and fixed directly on the RPV wall.

MONITORING OF RPV METAL STATE DURING


OPERATION (SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM)
Irradiated surveillance sets
Optimization of configuration of irradiated surveillance
sets was performed.
All container assemblies are unified and each of them
is a valid surveillance set.
Each container assembly consists of three containers,
and represents the complete surveillance set including
Charpy specimens (base metal, weld and a heataffected zone), tensile specimens (base metal and the
weld) and CT-0,5 specimens for determination of
fracture toughness (base metal and the weld).
All container assemblies are identical. In case of need,
(for example for lifetime extension) the withdrawal of
several sets can be realized.
This optimization of configuration of irradiated
surveillance enables flexible use of surveillance
specimens.

Temperature surveillance sets

MONITORING OF RPV METAL STATE DURING


OPERATION (SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM)
Temperature surveillance sets

The same materials as in irradiated surveillance sets and


materials from RPV parts working under nominal temperature
(base metal from upper nozzle shell and a weld) are included
in the surveillance program.
It allows to separate irradiation effect and thermal ageing and
monitor properties change for RPV elements which are critical
from point of view of the thermal ageing
Withdrawal scheme: 1, 3, 5, 7 years, simultaneously with the
irradiated surveillance sets. It corresponds to expected
maximum values of TT

MONITORING OF RPV METAL STATE DURING


OPERATION (SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM)
Control surveillance sets
Evaluation of inhomogeneity of the properties will be performed
with testing results of RPV materials in initial (unirradiaited
state). Specimens from the control surveillance set will be
used. For that additional specimens are added to one
surveillance set in such a manner that 15 Charpy specimens
are corresponds to each material layer. For some layers additional groups with the azimuthal coordinate distinguished
on 180 from the basic groups are provided. Other control
complete sets can be identical to irradiated and temperature
complete sets.

First AES-2006 RPV for Novovoronezh-2 NPP was manufactured at


Izhora plant in this year
Second AES-2006 RPV for Novovoronezh-2 is planned in the next year

CONCLUSION
AES-2006 RPV was developed on the basis of 30 years
experience of designing, manufacturing and operation of
VVER-1000 RPV. The increase of RPV total dimensions, use of
the material with low nickel and impurity content provide the
decrease of radiation loading and radiation embritllement rate
Design specified lifetime of AES-2006 RPV is 60 years.
Current level of knowledge allows to state that RPV lifetime
can be extended in the future.
AES-2006 surveillance program provides reliable monitoring
of RPV material degradation. It provides all necessary data for
modern approaches to RPV integrity assessment
implementation. It was developed for the long term of
operation
