Structure of realised risks of projects for construction nuclear power plant by Rosatom State Corporation in 2010-2020

Abstract

Rosatom State Corporation is one of the world leaders in the construction of nuclear power plant (NPP), keeping a ten-year portfolio of foreign orders at the level of 140 billion $. Taking into account the long period of construction nuclear power plant, significant amount of capital investment, significant number of participants investment-construction project, critically important for constructer organizer to identify and consider possible risks of project implementation in time, developing and improving its management mechanisms. As a part of research risk analysis and systematization was performed, realized in the construction of nuclear power plants by domestic specialist in 2008-2020 (Novovoronezh NPP-2, Rostov NPP, Kursk NPP-2, Belarussian NPP, NPP Kudankulm, NPP El-Dabaa, NPP Akkuyu, NPP Rooppur, NPP Paksh-2). Based on the analysis formed 8 risk families, determined shares of these groups in general registry. The revealed structure of realized risks demonstrates, that the largest share in general registry is made up of technical and organizational risks, which are systematically given insufficient attention by researches and construction organizers. Conducted research also allows us to draw a conclusion about the most common risk concerning late detection of complex conditions of the object placement site, which was implemented in five projects out of nine considered. The results of the accomplished research can be used in the development of modern nuclear power plant construction projects in Russia and abroad, which will have a positive impact on the competitiveness of domestic projects in the global nuclear power plant market and increase their profitability. The experience of nuclear power in terms of risk management can become a driver for full-scale improvement of organizational and technological approaches in the construction of unique buildings and structures in the future.

Condition and trends of energy construction in the Russian Federation for 2023 based on the results of the implementation of energy supply contract programmes

“…The last option is the most promising, because it is with its help that the energy sector will be able to implement ideas and goals of any complexity. Thus, by developing a new DPM-3 plan, which includes not just reconstruction, but a total renovation of all power plants, Russia can gain access to new opportunities in which it will be able to ensure its own energy security and minimize the risks of implementing large investment and construction projects in the field of thermal, renewable and nuclear energy construction [17]. In the future, this may prove to be a promising solution for other countries that want to see such a strong partner in the energy market.…”

Verification of the regulatory distribution of unit value and labor intensity of design works in thermal power construction

“…Thermal and nuclear power plant design entails a complex, multi-stage process that necessitates the collaboration of a diverse array of specialists. In addition to the conventional civil engineering sections of construction documentation, the design of thermal and nuclear power facilities encompasses intricate aspects in the documentation, with a specific focus on the development of heat-mechanical and electrotechnical solutions, as well as the selection of primary technological equipment [1].…”
