In preparation for the eventual construction of the second unit of the Krško nuclear power plant (JEK 2), we prepared for the utility company GEN energija a comprehensive review and description of the severe accident management in potential reactors for JEK 2. The following generation III pressurized water reactors were considered: AP1000, EPR, APWR and ATMEA1. In the report, the severe accident safety systems, design measures and procedures are described, and a review of the severe accident safety analyses and the radiological consequences of a severe accident is provided. The severe accident requirements according to various regulations are also presented.
F.34 Consultancy
COBISS.SI-ID: 26124839Between May 30 and June 1st, 2012, in the frame of the CAMP (Code Applications and Maintenance Program) research program, the CAMP meeting was organized by the Reactor Engineering Division of the Jožef Stefan Institute. CAMP is the largest research program of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC). Apart from the USA, there are 30 other countries participating. The CAMP meeting in Ljubljana was attended by 70 participants from 20 countries. The high participation showed the interest for such computer codes and for the Slovenian contribution to the world knowledge. There were 34 presentations, which is the highest number of presentations on any CAMP meeting so far.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 26250535The research group took part in the overseeing of outage activites and tests at the end of the 25th fuel cycle in the Krško nuclear power plant. We have been verifying that the outage activities and tests were performed in accordance with the required regulations and technical specifications. The activities have therefore contributed towards meeting radiation protection standards and to the safe operation of the Krško NPP.
F.30 Professional assessment of the situation
COBISS.SI-ID: 26509607The present expert opinion refers to the Krško nuclear power plant (NEK) modification related to enhancement of the emergency power supply. NEK intends to enhance the emergency power supply with the installation of the third 4 MWe diesel generator (DG3) with 0.5 MWe higher power output than each of the two currently available emergency DGs. The project of additional DG3, which can be applied as an independent AC source or an emergency power source of safety class 1E, in general represents a contribution to the nuclear safety of NEK.
F.30 Professional assessment of the situation
COBISS.SI-ID: 26509351From November 19 to 24, 2012, we organised the course ‘’Design safety and safety evaluation for NPP Safety Analysis Report’’ at the Jozef Stefan Institute. The course was intended for experts from nuclear regulatory authorities and their technical safety organisations. It provided a comprehensive overview of novel insights on safety-related issues. The course was attended by 13 participants from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe. The course was financed by the European Commission in the framework of the European support to third countries (EuropeAid).
