SAFETY AND DESIGN LIMITS
17th Symposium of AER on VVER Reactor Physics and Reactor Safety (2007, Yalta, Crimea (Ukraine, back then))
FUEL MANAGEMENT
Abstract
The paper touches upon the issues of NPP safety ensuring at the stage of fuel load design and operation by applying special limitations for a series of parameters, that is, design limits. Two following approaches are compared: the one used by west specialists for the PWR reactor and the Russian approach employed for the VVER reactor. The closeness of approaches is established, differences that are mainly peculiarities of terms are noted.
