Abstract

The modified standards for the water chemistry at nuclear power stations equipped with RBMK-1000 reactors for the entire service life of power units are presented. Stages through which the information-analytical system Center for Providing Chemical Support to Nuclear Power Stations was established and developed and its current structure are described. An example of analyzing the water chemistry of coolant used in the multiple forced circulation loop and operational data obtained through the communication channels with the above-mentioned system is given, and the main objectives pursued by the Center for Providing Chemical Support to nuclear power stations equipped with RBMK reactors are described in the part of conducting their water chemistry and using means and systems for maintaining water chemistry parameters.
