АНОТАЦІЯ O. CHERNOUSENKO, T. NIKULENKOVA, A. NIKULENKOV ANALYSIS OF THE OPPORTUNITY FOR AN INCREASE IN THE THERMAL POWER OF POWER GENERATING UNITS OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS (PART 2) ABSTRACT A level of scientific knowledge combined with the use of contemporary computational tools and the analysis of the experience gained in the field of safe operation provides opportunities for a decrease in the level of conservatism laid at the stage of design. This scientific paper gives the research data obtained to confirm an opportunity for an increase in the thermal power by 1.5 % for the power unit No2 at the South-Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant based on the data of implementation and trial operation of this modification at the power unit No1 of the South-Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant. Structurally, this scientific paper consists of the description of a pilot modification used by the power unit No1 of the SouthUkrainian Nuclear Power Plant, graphic representation of power levels before and after the introduction of the modification designed to increase the thermal power by 1.5 % and it also includes the data of thermal hydraulic analysis of the opportunity for the use of the pilot modification for the power unit No 2 at the South-Ukrainian Nuclear Power
