to safe conditions at any combination of initial events (natural and human-induced) triggering to loss of all the electric power sources. This fact increases considerably the project competitiveness both in foreign and domestic markets of electric power production. Framatome is supplying reactor protection systems for the VVER-TOI reactors at Kursk II. Project key features Lifetime extension The VVER-TOI reactor pressure vessel has fewer welds than the VVER-1200, all out of the central area, and a more symmetric arrangement of coolant nozzles. This gives the potential for two 20 year life extensions, which could give a 100 year life. Typical project VVER-TOI is a basis for the development of Nuclear power plant serial construction projects at the sites located within a wide range of natural-climatic conditions, considering the whole spectrum of internal extreme and external human-induced impacts, which are specific for all eventual construction sites. The project is developed to the intent that its application in individual Nuclear power plant projects would not require change of the main conceptual, engineering and layout solutions, as well as additional safety analysis and other justifying documents to be submitted to the state supervisory authorities for receiving construction licenses. Innovative designing technologies United information space is a multi-platform software and hardware complex intended for control of the engineering data for engineering, designing, as well as arranging communication between territorially-distanced project participants. An expanded functional analysis (based on the detail application of IAEA standards) is the practical basis to specify an assignment for automatic performance of nuclear technological processes, designing organization-functional operation structure, and grounded calculation of normal-mode ratio. MultiD-designing serves as a developed “field-engineering” experience that considerably increases possibility of the project controlling through detail working-out the process solutions on construction and equipment installation. Upgrading possibility VVER-TOI power unit circuits, equipment, systems and structures design make it possible to upgrade it allowing for: increase annual electric power production (e.g. by ICUF increasing, scheduled and unplanned downtime reduction); decrease auxiliary power consumption; decrease electric and thermal power losses; improve personnel working conditions; keep a proper safety level following to toughening requirements provided by regulatory documents and necessity to receive operation permits on a periodical basis during Nuclear power plant design service life. Virtual Prototyping Center Virtual Prototyping Center is a complex of soft-and-hardware facilities making it possible to visualize design and engineering models. It represents a sphere, in which center attendance being at height at a
