Abstract

A systems approach to evaluating the service life of the reinforced, prestressed, concrete, containment shell of an NPP with VVER-1000 is examined. The main steps in evaluating the technical condition and remaining service life of its structural units are described. An additional 30-year period of operation of the containment shell of the No. 1 unit of the Kalininskaya NPP and the Nos. 2 and 3 units of the Balakovo NPP is determined on the basis of these investigations.
