Abstract:The paper considers the efficiency and possibility of implementing into the operational practice of VVER-1000 power units the campaign extension mode at the sliding pressure of the second circuit. The history of research of Russian nuclear scientists in terms of extending the campaign of VVER reactors is considered. It is shown that reducing the pressure of fresh steam within the permissible limits will release additional reactivity due to the release of the temperature effect and generate additional energy du… Show more
