The heat dissipation efficiency of the steam generator Dukovany at low water levels
Veselý, Jakub ; Šnajdárek, Ladislav (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to simulate the course of events during Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant blackout and to determine the optimal process of cooling down the cold branches of the primary circuit loops to secure the maximum amount of the primary fuel needed for the residual heat outlet so that the operating staff has as much time as possible for renewing the electric power supply. The first part of the thesis describes nuclear power plants built in the Czech Republic and in the world as well as reactor blocks whose construction is being considered. The detailed description of Dukovany’s steam generator is shared in chapter three. Following chapter summarizes blackouts that occurred at power plants around the world, events that might have led to blackouts in the Czech Republic, and it also describes current approach to blackout problematics at Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant. Chapters six and seven contain the core of the thesis. That includes detailed description of a mathematical model explaining the behaviour of a reactor block during blackout as well as the analysis of the results found.

Nuclear Power Plant Dukovany Tasks within an Electricity Grid of the Czech Republic
Prokop, Ondřej ; Řež,, Martina Malá, Centrum výzkumu (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
The aim of the Bachelor’s thesis is to describe the role of The Nuclear Power Plant Dukovany (Dukovany NPP) in the Czech electricity grid. Increasing of the production of electricity from renewable energy sources in the electricity grid causes more frequently compliance of N-1 criterion and it decrease the reliability of the electricity grid. The risk of Blackout increases, which would cause large economic losses and danger to the life of human beings. Therefore, reliable, good controllable and safety sources of electricity are very important. The first part of the thesis describes the role of Dukovany NPP in the process of regulation of basic electrical parameters during the normal operation of electricity grid. The second part of the thesis deals with states and the function of Dukovany NPP after full or partial disintegration of the electricity grid. Final part analyzes the importance of Dukovany NPP in Czech electricity grid and future development Dukovany NPP with possibility of the construction of new nuclear units after the end of the operation in 2035. The Dukovany NPP is an important regulator of the reactive power. There isn’t other power plant in the southeastern part of the Czech Republic, which could significantly control reactive power. The power from Dukovany NPP, which is provided on ancillary services controlling the real power and frequency has been increasing in recent years. This is due to the increasing production of renewable sources. Units switch to island operation after partial disintegration of electricity grid. If frequency exceeds the limit, the units will switch to it is own consumption. In this stage of operation at own consumption can Dukovany NPP operated without the time limit. Dukovany NPP may participate in restoring the electricity grid, based on dispatch control instruct. If switching to own consumption is not successful and back up sources and emergency’s dieselgenerator are unavailable, the power supply has to be restored as soon as possible. There are six independent solutions to restore the power supply. Next option of restore power supply will be the AAC network after the completion of construction in 2014. The AAC network will be resistant to the extreme weather and will be place it in the area of the power station, thereby Dukovany NPP will be more independent on external network.

Overview and analysis of follow-up actions based on nuclear power plants stress-test results in the Czech Republic and world-wide
Ludvík, Lubomír ; bezpečnost, Ondřej Šťastný, Státní úřad pro jadernou (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the issue of the stress tests as a reaction to Fukushima accident. Nuclear safety and control systems are generally described in different modes. Fukushima accident is analyzed and described in details. Special attention is focused on the final results and lessons learnt as the background for stress tests goals. The main part of the thesis are the stress tests at all NPP in the European Union overview. Scope of tests was focused on resistance to extreme environmental conditions, a complete loss of safety systems and actions with solution of the severe accidents, including reactor core melting and subsequent effects. The Czech NPPs are discussed in detail, the others in particular way. Finally, recommendations that will be implemented within a few years are summarized. It will strengthen the management of severe accidents beyond the design basic events.

Service operation of nuclear power plants
Krutiš, Petr ; Foral, Štěpán (referee) ; Radil, Lukáš (advisor)
This thesis deals with the service operations that are essential for the smooth running of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Station. The first part describes the nuclear power station with its VVER 440 reactors; it particularly describes basic devices of the primary circuit, which include a nuclear reactor, a steam generator, the main circulating pump, a pressurizer and the main closing fitting. The next chapter concerns water management, whose main objective is pumping crude water and treating it so that it can be used in technological circuits of the power plant as well as in secondary systems, which maintain the required parameters and conditions necessary for the operation of basic devices of the primary circuit. The secondary systems secure compensation of reactivity changes in the reactor. Next, they secure refilling, cleaning and degassing of the coolant. The final part of this Bachelor thesis describes an increase of the electrical output of one of Dukovany's units to 500 MW and its effect on the secondary systems of the primary circuit. The main adjustments before the output increase were performed on secondary circuit devices and electrical devices. Primary circuit's machinery remained unchanged.

Starting the electricity system from the dark with the help of EDU
Puchnar, Jiří ; Fejta, Libor (referee) ; Mastný, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis aims to introduce the reader Blackout exercise, which is run annually on nuclear power plant Dukovany. This exercise simulates a situation when there is a loss of power for own consumption and the steps leading to its recovery. Then it focuses how to troubleshoot electrical grid restoration of the Czech Republic with NPPD. This bachelor thesis is divided into two parts. The first part defines the term Blackout, described the involvement of power plant to national grid, output to a substation Slavětice and near power sources. NPPD appliances are divided into categories according to the importance of power. Their classification and ways of feeding during normal operation and for other situations are described in the third chapter of this work. In my work I present options and recovery routes after power failure for own consumption NPPD. Internal and external. The lack of power can cause the risks described in the fifth chapter. At the end of the first part is an example of one possible method to restore power from an external source. The second part focuses on the renewal of electrical grid with NPPD. It aims to describe the configuration of the transmission system, using of island operation and some specific features related to island operation. In this section, I present also some new possibilities for increase of durability and safety of electrical grid CR NPPD. The conclusion summarizes the meaning of Blackout exercise together with the benefits of this work and some recommendations.
