13 New IAEA Safety Report Uses concept of CM Equilibrium developed by CMBG and processes for returning plant to a state of CM Equilibrium Evaluate Identified Problem or Desired Change Change Facility Configuration Information ? Change Design Requirements ? Change Physical Configuration ? Do Nothing More CM Equilibrium Physical Configuration Change Authorization Process Design Requirements Change Process Facility Configuration Information Change Process No Yes No

18 ä TC project RER/9/069 ä 2001 – 2004 ($502,000) ä Objectives: to develop/adapt a methodology for systematic reconstitution of the design basis documentation (DBD) for WWER reactors, and to train the plants’ experts in application of the methodology so developed. WWER Design Basis Documentation Management System

19 ä Participating countries: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Russian Federation, Ukraine ä Technical leadership: Nuclear Research Institute at Rez, Czech Republic ä Expected Results: Plant configuration changes are in compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements and with the plant licensing basis. WWER Design Basis Documentation Management System
