Abstract

The Project ?Mochovce Units 3&4 Completion? started in 2009 and it will be finished in
2013. VUJE, Inc. is one of the five main Project contractors for the Nuclear Island and it is
responsible, inter alia, for Mochovce Units 3&4 commissioning. The commissioning of Units
3&4 includes the stages of Physics Commissioning and Power Commissioning. This paper
deals with the preparation of Mochovce Units 3&4 Physics Commissioning. In the paper there
is presented a preparation of some commissioning documents, e.g. ?Quality Assurance
Programme?, ?Commissioning Programme?, ?Stage Programme for Physics
Commissioning?, ?Test working programmes?, ?Neutron-physics characteristics for Physics
and Power Commissioning?, etc. The scope of Physics Commissioning is presented by list of
tests. For assessment of tests results so-called three-level acceptance criteria will be applied:
realization, design and safety criteria. In the paper there are also presented computer codes,
which will be used for neutron-physics characteristics calculation and the fuel loading scheme
for the reactor core of Mochovce Unit 3.
