2.

1933-a U.S. delegation, headed by Chairman Lando W.

Zech, Jr.

of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, visited the U.S.S.R.

from August 19 through 31, 196S.

The visit provided the occasion for the first session of the Joint Coordinating Comm6ttee on Civilian Nuclear Reactor Safety (JCCCNRS). which was created in accordance with the Memorandum of Cooperation.

In discussions held in Moscow August 00-24 and August 31.

representatives of both countries discussed many aspects of nuclear power stations.

The delegations are listed in an

Op@endia.

the two sides in Programs for cooperation were rev6ewed by very productive meetings and agreement was reached on specific future cooperative efforts, which are described in a separate

" protecel between Mr. James Taylor. the U.S. co-chairman of the JCCCNRS. and Dr. Nikolai Ponomarev-Stepnoy. the U.G.S.R.

co-chairman of t he JCCCNRS.

These proposals will be reviewed for approval by both governments.

In addition to participating in the Joint Committee discussions. Chairman Zech met with the leaders and other senior of f icials f rom the Soviet organizations working on ensuring nuclee* power safety. In particular Chairman Vadim Malyshev of 0:ntittee for Supervision of Nuclear Power Safvty, and tiew L1 s6 Minister Nikolai Lukonin of the Ministry of Atomic Power.

In Chairman Zech and various U.S. delegation men.bers addition.

visited the f ollowing f acili t i es and installations in the U.S.S.R. to observe Soviet approaches to nuclear safetys 1)

The Vurchetov Institute of Atemte Enerav in Moscou.

Here the Soviets outlined the role and functions of the Institute and the U.S. visitors toured the materials test (MR) reactor, the facility for study of High Temperature Gas Reactors esperimental and the first Soviet reactor. now being used for neutron standards calibratlon.

2)

The Novovoceneth Atomic Power Statient delegation was briefed on the station's acitvities, The U.S.

indluding construction and operation over the years of prototypes such as t he VVER-440 and VVER-10CSO e f sov t ral VVER react ors, l

i l

l l

recetoro.

The group toured the control recas cnd turbine hell for units 3 and 4. VVER-440 reactors that came into operation in the early 1970's. and observed the refueling activitiva underway on Unit 4 Unit 3 was in full power operation.

They also rece6ved a briefing on the work of the Training and Commissioning Center and toured several training and simulat or f acilit ies.

7)

The 1 hora Feocuction Association at Voleino. near Lenincrada_

Discussions were held at 1:horshly Zavod on Soviet metallurgy and S

manufacturing techn6 ques for nuclear plant components.

The U.S.

visitors toured va.lous testing and enemination laboratories, the electro-stag furnace operations, press and rolling mill

)

operations tnd reactor component fabrication facilities.

Work is underway centered on the VVER - 1000 components and vessels.

The finished reactor vessel fer the first Cuban nuclear power plant has been cempl e t ed but not yet shipped.

4)

Yhe Vhloetn Rad 6am Institute at Gatchina. neae Lentmoradt Several U.F. delegat ion members viewed the hot cells and selsoc i a t ed l aser fuel cutting compartment at the Mhlopin Institute.

T h e S o'/ 6 e t side descr6 bed a new program of fuel kinetics analysis for sinulation of core degradation that has been initiated recently and will include Chernobyl fuel specimens later this year.

The U.L. side was inv6ted t o par t icipat e directly in the Institute's program as a part of joint activities and will consider this proposal over the course of the I

next year.

5)

Chernebv1 Atom 6e Power Stations s

Most of the U.S. delegatten members visited the Chernobyl Station

(RBMK-type reactors) where they held discussions with plant personnel about s u ch tria t t e rs as the sc.f e t y c har.g e s introduced since the 1936 accident and the s+atus of radiation cleanup at the plant and neighboring areas.

The delegation, the first foreign representatives to do so, toured the outer rooms of the 6

sarcophagus built around destroyed Unit 4 and observed drilling to retrieve core samples.

The damaged turbine hall for Unit 4,

which had high radioactivity levels, was also visited very briefly.

The delegation saw the control room for Unit 4 and some members al saw the control room of Unit le which was operating at fu.

ver.

The delegation also toured the evacuated town of Pripyat, and was told there are no plans to resettie it n '. this time.

6)

The Al l -Un i on Center for Radiation Medicine in Viev.,

Separate from the Chernobyl visit, and in parallel with it, two members of the U.S. delegation visited the Center for discussion on health and environmental issues and research activities related to Chernobyl.

The U.S. noted the encouraging work already begun in this fleid by regional.rganizations in Kiev and urged that the s; ope and co~rdinatton of thi'a work be expanded so as to make available a more comprehensive data base on results of the accident.

7)

The Rovno Nuclece P o!o e r ?t'itlon For the fIrst time, a delegation frcm the U.S. visited ibis plant including 8 (1) a tour of the control rec)m and turbine hall of Unit 3 a VVER-1000 pl an t which began operation in 1936: (0) a visit to Unit 4, a VVER-1000 plant now under constructier.: and

/

~

(3) diocucolono cbout tho two VVER-440 reactoro which bogen operation in 1980 and 1981.

Discussions focused on various operational safety features of Unit 3, additional safety features planned for Unit 4 and the fact that a fifth unit is now planned for the cite.

In all meetings and visits, Chairman Zach and his Soviet colleagues, including those that met him at the nuclear power stations and other installations, emphasizeo the importance of a strong :ommitment to safety in all aspects of the design, construction, operation and management of nuclear pcier plants.

The two sides noted that while there are some differences in designs and safety viewpoints between the countries, both are committed to safe operation of their civilian nuclear power plants.

The two sides agreed that safe operation of today's reactors is a key factor in the future worldwide use of nuclear power.

u- - --,

both countries look forward to centir.ued enhancements of safety through greater understanding of each other's approaches and to making further improvements in the safety of their respective plants.

Considering the scale of the programs being conducted in the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.

in nucl ear power, the planned cooperation will be important from the standpoint of improvement of nuclear safety of reactors of U.S. and Soviet design.

PROPOSED ~ AREAS FOR COOPERATIOff Ten possible areas for cooperation in the field of c i v il i an nuclear reactor safety were identified durii.g the Meeting of the US-USSR Joint Committee on Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in Washington in April 1988.

In order to prepare for the first meeting of the JCCCNRS, the Co-Chairmen exchanged preliminary materials on the indicated topics.

At this first meeting of the JCCCNRS, both sides provided information on the status of work and proposals of programs of joint work on each of these ten topics.

It was agreed to f ormulat e speci f ic programs of work for 1989 in several of the areus considered as high priority and to agree on more general proposals for later work in 1990.

These programs of work will be circulated for the review and approval of both governments and for review and approval by the Joint American-Soviet Committee on Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy at its next meeting in Moscow in the spring of 1999.

In accordance with the Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) in the the US and USSR, Fleid of Civilian Nuclear Reactor Safety between signed in Washington, D.C. on April 26, 1969, the JCCCNRS will adhere to paragraph 7.5 with regard to forms of cooperation at a government level and to paragraphs 3.6 and 4 of that MOO with regard to participation by commercial organi:ations and othet parties in pursuit of the purposes of the MOC.

The JCCCNRS considers that its Co-Chairmen must be kept advised of all activities performed under this MOC, and both parties agree that exchanged materials will be provided via the Co-Chat, men of the respective countrtes.
