Introduction – Krško NPP
• Westinghouse PWR, 2 loop, 700 MWe
• At least 2x100% redundancy of safety systems
• Commercial operation since 1983
• Important facts: – Seismic design 0.3 g – Detailed SPSA done in ‘90s and
again in 2004 – Detailed flood protection analysis – SAMGs developed in late ‘90s – Full scope simulator in 2000
– Wet cavity modification

Introduction – SNSA
• SNSA is an independent agency within the framework of Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning
• Reports directly to the minister
• It is financed solely by the state budget
• Legislation in line with WENRA
• Relying on US NRC‘s regulation and standards

Post-Fukushima improvements in the Krško NPP

Design Extension Conditions for Krško NPP
6
Design basis
• Seismic: 0.3 g PGA • Flood: PMF = 7081 m3/s • Single failure criteria
• Station Black Out (SBO): 4 h • UHS: loss of river flow up to 30
days
• Loss of MCR temporarily – establish „hot shutdown“
DEC
• Seismic: 0.6 g PGA • Flood: PMF + earthquake (0.6g) • Assume loss of all trains of safety
systems • SBO: 72 h • UHS: loss of primary UHS for 30
days + combination with SBO for 72 h
• Loss of MCR indefinitely – establish „cold shutdown“
• Aircraft crash • Tornado (240 km/h) • Extreme temperatures (10,000
year return period)

Improvements in the Krško NPP
• Phase 1: – Mobile equipment and quick connection points (incl. procedure
changes) acquired and established before June 30 2011
• Phase 2: – Additional mobile equipment and connection points after EU
stress tests
• Phase 3: – Krško NPP Safety Upgrade Program

Improvements: phase 1
• Mobile equipment and quick connection points (incl. procedure changes) acquired and established before June 30 2011 – Implementation of US NRC B.5.b action plan (following 9/11
event) – Credited in stress tests

Fire truck with a hydraulic fire-fighting arm Tanks: 8500 l of water & 1500 l of fire-extinguishing foam
Improvements: phase 1
MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING SLOVENIAN NUCLEAR SAFETY ADMINISTRATION www.ursjv.gov.si
• As a result of stress tests several other improvements were identified, mostly acquiring additional pieces of mobile equipment – Finished by the end of 2012
Improvements: phase 2

Improvements: phase 2
MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING SLOVENIAN NUCLEAR SAFETY ADMINISTRATION www.ursjv.gov.si
Improvements: phase 1 & 2
• Mobile equipment stored in a shelter – Protected against external hazards (DEC): earthquakes, floods,
extreme weather, aircraft crashes…
• Quick connection points established
• Support equipment: – Resources (diesel, petrol, water) – Fuel transfer pumps – Connection cables – Fire hoses – Transfer trucks / tractors

Improvements: phase 1 & 2
• Procedures – EOPs, SAMGs
• Testing & maintenance – Interval – Procedures (who, how and when)
• Training – Training operators/staff to use equipment
• Exercises with real scenarios – Checking feasibility (human and equipment resources) – Procedures validation
MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING SLOVENIAN NUCLEAR SAFETY ADMINISTRATION www.ursjv.gov.si
Improvements: phase 3
• In September 2011 SNSA issued a decision requiring from the plant to reassess the SAM strategy, and existing measures and to implement necessary safety improvements for prevention of SA and mitigation of its consequences,
• This evaluation concluded in January 2012
• Action plan, so called „Krško NPP Safety Upgrade Program“ (SUP)
• Endorsed by SNSA in February 2012
MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING SLOVENIAN NUCLEAR SAFETY ADMINISTRATION www.ursjv.gov.si
Phase 1 completed
in 2013
Phase 2 underway
– to be completed
by 2018
Improvements: phase 3
• The Krško NPP‘ SUP improvements: – Replacement of active hydrogen recombiners with passive ones
(PARs) – Installation of (passive) containment filtered vent system (CFVS) – Flood protection of the nuclear island – Operation support center reconstruction – Installation of pressurizer PORV bypass – Spent fuel pool (SFP) alternative cooling – Alternate cooling of reactor coolant system and containment – Installation of emergency control room (ECR) – Upgrade of bunkered building #1 (BB1) electrical power supply – ECR / Technical support center ventilation and habitability system – Replacement and upgrade of critical instrumentation
MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING SLOVENIAN NUCLEAR SAFETY ADMINISTRATION www.ursjv.gov.si
Phase 3 to be
completed by 2021
Improvements: phase 3
• The Krško NPP‘ SUP improvements: – BB2 Project – independent injection / cooling system in a bunkered
building with additional sources of borated and unborated water with dedicated pumps for injection into reactor cooling system / containment and steam generators capable of assuring reactor cooling for at least 30 days.
– Erection of dry spent fuel storage facility
– All these improvements (SUP) will be designed for Design Extension Conditions – DEC !!
MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING SLOVENIAN NUCLEAR SAFETY ADMINISTRATION www.ursjv.gov.si
– Passive recombiners (PARs) – Containment Filtered Vent System (CFVS)
SUP – phase 1
MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING SLOVENIAN NUCLEAR SAFETY ADMINISTRATION www.ursjv.gov.si
• Flood protection of the nuclear island – implemented in 2015-16 – Flood protection doors, temporary flood barriers, replacement of
flood protection check valves, penetration seals improved – Protection of the Krško NPP in case of combined maximum flood
and (design extension) earthquake

SUP – phase 2, underway
MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING SLOVENIAN NUCLEAR SAFETY ADMINISTRATION www.ursjv.gov.si
Changes in Legislation
• Alignment with the amended EU Nuclear Safety Directive (Law, Rules JV5 and JV9)
• Alignment with the EU Basic safety standards directive (BSS)
• New Rules JV5 and JV9 – WENRA Safety Reference Levels of 2014 – WENRA Safety Objectives for new reactors, 2013
MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND SPATIAL PLANNING SLOVENIAN NUCLEAR SAFETY ADMINISTRATION www.ursjv.gov.si
Lessons learned
• Importance of Periodic Safety Review (PSR) • Ongoing plant improvements started before Fukushima
accident – 3rd full scope EDG (in bunkered building #1):
resulted from 1st PSR, under construction during Fukushima accident, functional since June
2012
– Increased level of dikes on the left side of Sava river: resulted from 1st PSR, new, increased PMF, March 2012

Challenges
• Timely implementation of the SUP improvements – Problems with public procurement – unsuccessful bidders‘ appeals
cause big delays in project implementations
• Upgrade of I&C – qualification for severe accidents
• Challenges with newly installed equipment – PARs – CFVS
