Description
European Union (EU) required the Safety Level of Cernavoda Unit 2 be comparable to those of the other European NPPs. One of the technical items subject to this requirement is the safety review for the Fuel Handling System and Waste Management Systems. The On-Power Refuelling System is a system unique to the CANDU type of NPP as CANDU uses the natural uranium and heavy water moderator/coolant, and thus require daily refueling of fresh fuel to maintain criticality due to small excess reactivity. Because of the importance of this system to the reactor operation and EU country nuclear experts unfamiliarity with this on power refuelling system, EU requested Romania to perform a Safety Evaluation of these two systems separately from the conventional Safety Analysis covering all the Design Bases Accidents
