Original Abstract

The nuclear power plants of the WWER type operate for about three decades in several countries. In the Czech Republic, the Dukovany NPP of the VVER-400213 type has been put into operation in 1985. A steady very high level of plants operational safety, availability and reliability has been unambiguously proved. An effective way of managing updated safety requirements ensures a high safety level for the whole plants design life. In accordance with general trends, operation of the plant in excess of its design life is assumed. An effective ageing management of systems, structures and components is decisive for maintaining operational safety during the extended plants operating lifetime. Moreover, due to steadily increasing additional requirements the plants operational safety has to be enhanced. Besides many other important problems, those related to the safety of NPP system piping have to be considered.
