Abstract
The Russian nuclear power plant (WWER) with the reactor model V-392 is designed as a Nuclear Power Plant with the enhanced safety WWER-1000 reactor of a new generation. The safety concept has been elaborated in an evolutionary approach based on thorough analysis of operating experience and design solutions of NPP units with V-320. In the reactor model V-392 the fuel, nuclear safety system, neutron and thermal hydraulic design of the reactor core; instrumentation and control, as well as primary and secondary circuit have been modified. This article refers to nuclear safety systems that have been subjected to extensive modifications in comparison with the reactor model V-320 and also play an important part in the nuclear safety level enhancement.
