Security aspects of Czechoslovakian nuclear power plants; Sicherheitsaspekte tschechoslowakischer Kernkraftwerke

Abstract

The nuclear power plants in operation or under construction in the CSFR which basically represent the pressure water type reactor of soviet design VVER-440 and VVER-1000, are briefly described. In particular, their safety aspects and possible safety defficiencies are discussed. The first generation VVER-440/230 possesses, apart from some positive safety features, severe safety defficiencies which may be only improved by substantial reconstructions, whereas with the second generation VVER-440/213 substantial improvements in these safety defficiences may be noticed. The third generation VVER-1000 largely corresponds to Western safety standards. With the second generation VVER-440/213 further safety research is required to better estimate the behaviour of the reactor under severe accident conditions, in particular, with regard to potential activity releases.
