"Planned" repair. 4 power units disconnected at Zaporizhzhya NPP

Representatives of the Ukrainian company Energoatom report on the next repair at the Zaporizhzhya NPP. The report says that in connection with the repair work, the 6 unit of the nuclear power plant was disconnected from the network. It is noteworthy that for repair for a long time there are three more power units of ZNPP, which are also disconnected from the network.

From the message press service object:

20 September 2016 of the year in 00 hours 02 minutes power unit No. 6 of Zaporizhzhya NPP is disconnected from the network for scheduled mid-life repairs. The planned time for completion of work and connection of the power unit to the network is 20 November 2016. Currently, Zaporozhye NPP has 2 power units in operation. The total power of the generators is 1 970 MW. The power units №1, №2, №4 are in scheduled repairs.

If you believe this message, it turns out that repairs at Ukrainian NPPs are “planned” in such a way that two-thirds of the plant’s capacity can be disconnected from the network at once. And the fact that “scheduled” repairs last for months, while the next “planned” repairs begin without waiting for the end of the previous ones - even those who are far from the nuclear power industry lead to certain questions.

Meanwhile, the Energoatom press service “calms down” Ukrainians by the fact that at ZNPP and around it the radiation background is normal:

The radiation background at the industrial site and in the sanitary protection zone (the area around the nuclear power plant with a radius of 2,5 km) is 8-12 micro-roentgen per hour, which corresponds to the natural radiation background at the location of the Zaporozhye NPP.

This is not a scheduled repair, this is the collapse of the energy industry of the Nenki and the junta - you can’t trust matches unreasonable, no matter how much trouble they do.

[Bloodsucker]

Westinghouse seems to be bustling there again. It's not good.

There is no gas, no coal, no oil. Now there will be no atom. However, it does not surprise

"For children" matches are not a toy!

[BARKAS]

The main thing is that the wind would blow west!

[One of you]

Wherever the wind blows, in the event of an accident Russia and Rosatom will be blamed.
It seems that the IAEA is already under the control of the United States and Russia should wait for the next accusations against it, as in the case of WADA.
Instead of helping the Americans to install their assemblies in Soviet reactors, one should now prepare for legal proceedings on the subject of Russia's accusations of sabotage at Ukrainian nuclear power plants.
The United States operates in a stereotyped manner, including in the charges, therefore, it is necessary to prepare now for the accidents of our reactors in Ukraine.

[dmi.pris1]

Michael, you can have a different attitude to the West, but believe me, nobody needs accidents. Including us, even if the wind is not in our direction ..

[dumpy15]

Pendejo have been delving into the Zaporizhzhya NPP since June 2014. They put their guards on part of the premises where local personnel are not allowed.

[VSZMK]

Apparently the American rods cannot work at all.

[dmi.pris1]

Well, you really think of them as idiots. Elementarily Watson, just power units are not needed at the moment, power is not in demand. You can of course reduce power and leave the power unit in operation, but your own needs are quite significant. It’s just that we do the same. In general, all this news sucked from a finger already.

[uskrabut]

Quite right, colleague, they de-energized Crimea and there was an excess of power, which has nowhere to go. So you have to jam the power units. And to save face announced scheduled repairs.

if I am not mistaken, Ukraine sells electricity to Europe

[Alstorm]

The only strange thing is that relatively recently Ukraine asked Russia to supply a certain amount of electricity. In the month of June, if not mistaken.
Somehow it turns out strange. They have little electricity, nowhere to go.
Suppose in the summer every Ukrainian appeared on the air conditioner. Well, heaters should appear now. And no less powerful than air conditioners.

[dmi.pris1]

Yes, there is no strangeness here. Economic ties have been destroyed, enterprises are operating irregularly. The power unit at any power plant (I worked at a TPP in Smolenskenergo) is a complex system and stopped, all the more, it takes time to start the repaired one. The required capacity may appear at any time, there are peak loads, Usually the equipment begins to be repaired in April and ends by October. In the UES of the USSR it was simpler, there were energy flows, now we have torn a single system into grid, generating and similar companies, it is more difficult to organize, and even more so in Ukraine when Crimea waved a pen, and Donbass and Lugansk in general gave a lot of snot to organize the power supply of the destroyed mechanism. This is where the need arises for a week or two to contact the "aggressor" brother

[Retvizan]

In the Ukrainian energy sector in extreme fashion. If in 2015 there was a shortage of electricity in the country, then in 2016 there was an excess. However, sales to foreign markets do not yet benefit traders
Ukrainian power plants are forced to reduce electricity generation due to reduced domestic demand. The way out of the situation could be export. However, so far this area of ​​activity is not beneficial to traders.
In 2015, due to a shortage of coal, power units of thermal power plants (TPPs) were under threat of shutdown. And already at the beginning of 2016, DTEK Zakhidenergo announced that its TPPs might refuse to buy gas coal from state mines. After all, its stations operate within a separate power island, have accumulated enough coal and, in the face of a decrease in electricity production, do not need additional volumes of fuel.
Extra light
On the whole, in Ukraine the situation is not much different. Due to the decline in industry, a warm winter and the disconnection of Crimea from the Ukrainian energy system, electricity consumption is declining throughout the country. According to the results of 2015, it decreased by 11,3% - up to 150,62 billion kWh. After the cessation of supplies to the Crimean peninsula from January 1, 2016, the situation worsened. For the three months of 2016, electricity consumption, taking into account losses in networks, decreased by 6,6% year-on-year - to 40,67 billion kWh.
As a result, it was necessary to introduce balance restrictions at the NPP power units (to reduce the generation of electricity at the stations). In February 2016, the restrictions reached 2000 MW with the installed capacity of Ukrainian nuclear power plants at 13835 MW. In order to maintain a high share of nuclear power generation, the then Minister of Energy Coal Industry Vladimir Demchishin even talked about canceling the requirement to work with a minimum staff (operation of at least two power units in summer and 3-4 in winter to ensure the continuity of electric power production) of equipment at thermal power plants. Thus, he wanted to keep the low price of electricity for consumers. If the share of electricity production by nuclear power plants remains high, there is no need to pay extra for heat. But this idea greatly annoyed DTEK and other representatives of heat generation.
However, Minister Demchishin was replaced, and he did not manage to realize the idea. The position of the new Minister Igor Nasalik regarding the work of the energy market is not yet clear.
An alternative to manual regulation of the market and the intervention of the Ministry of Energy could be the export of electricity. For example, the resumption of supplies to Belarus and Moldova. Since most of the Ukrainian energy system (with the exception of Burshtyn Island) is synchronized with the CIS countries and has constant flows, it is not difficult to start the process technologically.
It remains to understand who will trade and when. "The issue of selling electricity is decided by domestic exporters by going to open auctions," the Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry said. The desire and need of contractors to import Ukrainian electricity is also important. In particular, the Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry noted that negotiations on the terms of supplies are being conducted with the Belarusian and Moldovan sides.
But the first quarter of 2016 passed, and Ukrainian traders still sell electricity to foreign markets only from the energy island of Burshtyn TPP - to Slovakia, Hungary, Romania

Coal, gas boiler put planned in warm. Moreover, these boilers and jam and put to work easier. Planned for 3 Blocks with a perspective in November, while not planned December-January. Happy New Year!

[Slavs]

Well, for sure, there is so much energy that even blackouts were practiced ... From an oversupply.

It’s time for these blocks to go not only to retire by age, but to a technical paradise. But they don’t give it.

[K-50]

September 20 2016 of the year at 00 hours 02 minutes power unit No. 6 of Zaporizhzhya NPP was disconnected from the network for the planned average repair. Power units No. 1, No. 2, No. 4 are also in scheduled repairs.

Maybe I misunderstand something of course. But maybe it was necessary to first finish with repairs of the earlier withdrawn blocks, and then disconnect the others from work. Although, after the maidan of the brain, everything is turned upside down at the head of the ghoul, and the simple truths are there to channel?

it doesn’t play any role, the capacities can be withdrawn in accordance with the plan, if the energy system’s reserves allow it now to be off-season and electricity consumption is not at the maximum — yes, and industry in general is not on the rise — there will be no problems withdrawing all at once

And it is generally impossible to produce electricity in reserve. once again I say, if the power system (+ reserve 0 allow, you can easily withdraw at least the entire station

Quote: K-50

blackouts did not happen due to lack of energy?

blackouts do not happen just like that, but as a rule during an emergency departure of a pair of generators, chapters. distribution substation or lines between them.
If in Ukraine there were no blackouts, then this is a normal scheduled repair

[dmi.pris1]

Why take it out of repair? If there is no load, then they do not start it. It gets cold, people will rush to turn on the electricity, and then they will "start". We are looking for a background, comrades, where there is none.

[Mountain shooter]

Sounds ominous. Nuclear reactors are not objects that can be experimented with. Power played? Got Game It’s necessary to look at what's with the resource of the power units, but something tells me that almost everything ...
VVRy blow up a la Chernobyl they will not succeed, but to destroy without the possibility of recovery - easily.

So "stagecoach lady - ponies are easier"!

Let's hope that there are also competent specialists there. Otherwise, little will not seem to anyone.

There are fools everywhere .. But in the energy sector, especially in the nuclear industry, there is careful training and selection of personnel. And it practically does not depend on what kind of power in the country. already wrote that the topic of the article is sucked from the finger of the author for some reason I do not observe ..

It’s normal practice, it’s often cheaper to buy than to quench the peak, by launching a thermal power plant - it only has steam (before turning it on) to get 17 hours.

[ingener1966]

Atalef, have you ever worked at a station, at least at a thermal power plant? And I even worked at nuclear power plants. The withdrawal time, planned, at the nuclear power unit is not one hour, but a month .... Thermal stations and hydroelectric power stations are a reserve for nuclear power plants, at peak they can quickly supplement the missing capacity. The nuclear power plant is in continuous operation. When the 210 MW power unit is completely stopped with steam discharge, it takes 2-4 hours to start up depending on the amount of steam released.

When they start to calm down, it brings up certain thoughts - it's time to skimp. As a result, they will finish badly with American rods to spite Russia. Everything would be fine, only all this is at our side. Let's hope that in this case the winds will be east, and Europe will fully sip "love" for Ukraine.

Most likely this is another emergency shutdown, which is carefully given out as the next scheduled one.
Oh, they play out with American assemblies. How many times must I step on a rake in order to at least understand something?
So the Hungarians turned out to be just one emergency shutdown to send Westinghouse on a long erotic journey and not return to this issue, not looking at all the pressure from the EU and penguins.

[den3080]

the fact is that Westinghouse will not be able to repeat, in the literal sense, the "recipe" for Russian (Soviet) nuclear fuel), this is impossible in principle. and it also works in the opposite direction - the Russian fuel elements will not work on Westinghouse projects.
the principles are the same (nuclear chain reaction, technological solutions are very similar), but the materials! of which the actual fuel rods are made, and the reactors themselves differ in composition, by tenths and hundredths of a percent or a little more ... this leads to the fact that American fuel rods "swell" in Soviet reactors and the like ...
one thing surprises me ... what an illiterate overseas turkey ordered these power engineers (Westinghouse) to replace Russian fuel at any cost and why Westinghouse (literate people) took meekly under the hood.
in principle, this means that Westinghouse must go all the way of the technological development of Russian (Soviet) nuclear energy (with all the errors and turns and in time) to avoid accidents ...
again: this is impossible by definition.

[katalonec2014]

Work on finalizing their assemblies is ongoing and will be ongoing, the ultimate goal is also clear, the maximum displacement of Russian fuel elements from the world market, which entails a decrease in foreign exchange earnings in the country.

It is strange that the station’s press service is quoted, but not to the end.
At the moment, 2 power units are in operation at the Zaporizhzhya NPP. The total capacity of the generators is 1 970 MW. Power units No. 1, No. 2, No. 4 are in scheduled repairs.
The radiation background at the industrial site and in the sanitary protection zone (the area around the nuclear power plant with a radius of 2,5 km) is 8-12 micro-roentgen per hour, which corresponds to the natural radiation background at the location of the Zaporozhye NPP.
Recall that the connection of power unit No. 1 of ZAES to the grid is scheduled for September 21, 2016.
All messages about Ukrainian nuclear power plants are marked with an information war in the "Apocalypse" style.
Let's live to see tomorrow - when the connection (although it doesn’t appear on the VO) is connected to the power unit No. 1 of ZAES. Energoatom received a new license to operate power unit No. 1 of Zaporizhzhya NPP
Above I gave an excerpt and a link to the article. The country has an excess (at the moment) of electricity. And they can’t sell (in the link why).
September 19 nuclear power plants generated 201,16 million kWh of electricity
20.09.2016
September 20 at nuclear power plants of Ukraine in the work of 10 out of 15 power units.
At the power unit No. 1 of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, the 277th day of the scheduled overhaul.
At power unit No. 2 of Zaporizhzhya NPP, 219 is the day of the average scheduled repair.
At the power unit No. 4 of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, the 54th day of the scheduled overhaul.
At power unit No.4 of the Rivne NPP, 34-day of the average scheduled repair.
September 20, 2016 at 00 hours 02 minutes the power unit No. 6 of the Zaporizhzhya NPP was disconnected from the network for the planned average repair.
Generation control schedules are as follows: for the Zaporizhzhya NPP - 1 MW, the RAES - 970 MW, the South Ukrainian NPP - 1 MW, the Khmelnitsky NPP - 790 MW.
Over the past day, September 19, the stations generated 201,16 million kWh of electricity.
The radiation, fire and environmental conditions at the NPP industrial sites are within the normal range.
On September 12-16, a technical support mission of the World Association of Nuclear Power Plant Operators (WANO) worked at the Khmelnitsky NPP.
During the mission, experts from nuclear power plants in the USA, Ukraine, Russia (this is the one that is the "aggressor") and representatives of the WANO NPP MC visited the workplaces and watched the actual implementation of the repair work. The mission participants had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the relevant documentation, as well as communicate with personnel of different levels of responsibility. On the basis of this, the main directions of the organization and implementation of repair work were identified that need improvement. International experts presented the best experience and provided specific recommendations to the specialists of the Khmelnytsky NPP. As you can see, specialists from the Russian Federation have access to Ukrainian NPPs.

[Russian1972]

Fuck them knows what’s going on there. Here we have a man working from Zaporozhye, so he says that this year there was something incomprehensible at the Zaporizhzhya NPP. For a whole month at night, mixers with solution were driven in that direction, saying that there were rumors of a crack in the reactor resulting from the use of Amer’s fuel.

[Irbenwolf]

Offset! A little more the commentary will "infuse" and in a month it will quite mature to "Chernobyl in Zaporozhye". Further along the chain "the authorities are hiding" and in another half a year there will be a horror story at the level of "Ukrainians dug the Black Sea."

Maybe they’ll even show on TV.
