WWER-1000/392. Annex 13
Description
A number of relatively innovative passive safety means are used in the new Russian plant designs with V-392 reactors to fulfil the fundamental safety functions; such as reactivity control, fuel cooling, and radioactivity confinement. For example, the estimated core melt frequency for V-392 is three orders of magnitude less than the V-320 reactor. The engineering solutions using natural circulation in V-392 design increases the safety level compared to operating WWER-1000 plants
