VVER-TOI
The VVER-TOI or WWER-TOI () is a generation III+ nuclear power reactor based on VVER technology developed by Rosatom. The VVER-TOI design is intended to improve the competitiveness of Russian VVER technology in international markets. It would use VVER-1300/510 water pressurized reactors constructed to meet modern nuclear and radiation safety requirements. The VVER-TOI project is developed on the basis of the design documents worked out for AES-2006, considering the experience gained in development of projects based on VVER technology both in Russia and abroad, such as Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant II. The first VVER-TOI will be unit 1 of the Kursk II Nuclear Power Plant. Main technical-economic indicators The reactor design life is 60 years, with potential of life extension to 100 years, and a thermal capacity of 3300 MWt and a gross electrical capacity of 1300 MWe. Project initial requirements Stability in the terms of critical external impacts and natural disasters. Correspondence to the world accepted rules and regulations. Correspondence to the climatic conditions from the tropics up to Northern regions. Independence in the terms of external power and water supply sources loss. Safety assurance principles Population and environment protection The radiation safety is arranged and implemented to prevent
