Brittle Fracture Probabilistic Assessment of WWER-1000 RPVs
This paper presents a methodology for brittle fracture probability assessment of WWER-1000 RPVs subjected to PTS. The main attention of the study is focused on the definition of the stochastic input data: fracture toughness, CTB, size and shape of the defects. Fracture toughness of RPV metal in the initial state is determined, separately

International Standard Problems and Small Break Loss‐of‐Coolant Accident (SBLOCA)
Best‐estimate thermal‐hydraulic system codes are widely used to perform safety and licensing analyses of nuclear power plants and also used in the design of advance reactors. Evaluation of the capabilities and the performance of these codes can be accomplished by comparing the code predictions with measured experimental data obtained on different test ...

Determination of Stiffness Characteristics for WWER-1000 Support Components
Available approaches to computer justification of safe operation of reactor support components (RSC) are generally presented in the reports justifying RSC lifetime extension at Ukrainian NPPs. The experience of performing such calculations and analyzing the results indicates that there are issues to be improved.
