axis; b – cutting on an axis 47; 1 – blocks of B1 and B2 beams; 2 – beam “Mammoth”; 3 – beam “Vosminig”

Chornobyl-4 (strategy of stabilization of “Shelter” )Reinforcement of existing metal structures by making an extensive use of welding of West

fragment of “Shelter”

Chornobyl-4 (Long term stabilization)

Beam “Mammoth”

Possible PLEX procedure on “Shelter”

• If the full replacement of the damaged structural elements

is impossible, the technologies of their restoration became

important using the modern concepts of fracture mechanics

the injection processes of crack-like defects in NPP structural

elements: for example – basin of self-controls and overloads

of the worked nuclear fuel) • The elastic and strength properties of the matrix (concrete)

and the polyuretane - based fillers in crack-like defects of

concrete structures allows to restore the structure carrying

ability by 50-80 %.

Chemical composition of structural steels, coatings and welding wires, which used for

pressure vessel of ligh pressure water reactors on Ukraine and Russian NPP.

Mechanical characteristics of Ukrainian and Russian structural steels, coatings and welding wires,

which used for pressure vessel of ligh PWR

The integrity of RPV steels determines the safety and lifetime of

NPPs and must therefore be guaranteed for ~40

years (at least…) RPV steels are known to

harden and embrittlement under

neutron irradiation and this may put their

integrity during operation in danger
