Electric Penetrations Manufacturing and Installation Training Project

A project completed in 1997 to train ELOX staff in manufacturing, controlling, and installing electric penetrations, with a focus on quality assurance and know-how transfer. The project aimed to enhance ELOX's capabilities and ensure compliance with industry standards.

  1. Project General Data • Beneficiary: Rosenergoatom • Contractors: Auxitrol • Local Subcontractor: ELOX • Sector of activities: Design Safety • Sites: Mainly VVER • Installations: Mainly VVER • Status: Completed (24 February 1997) • Budget: 2 000 000 € • Duration: 20 months

  2. Introduction PROJECT SCOPE • License agreement between ELOX and AUXITROL • Equipment acquisition needed to manufacture the penetrations • Know-how transfer (including the knowledge of the standards, codes and Quality Assurance Program); ELOX personnel training on the penetrations manufacturing technology and the appropriate methods to carry out electrical connections and installations

  3. Objectives (1) • To assist ELOX in: • purchase of necessary machines and tools for production and electric penetrations control, • installation and starting up of the machines at the KOMSOMOLSKY plant with training on machines' maintenance; • train engineers and technicians to study technology of the electric penetrations as well as codes and standards applicable to electric penetrations;

  4. Objectives( 2) • train staff to manufacture and control different types of electricpenetrations; • train staff to the different connecting methods between penetrations and cables; • train on site staff on installation, assembling, connection and control penetrations; • train staff to Quality according to the code of the IAEA - 50 CQA for the penetrations manufacturing and the on site installation.

  5. Project phases (1) The work program is divided into 4 phases: • - Phase 1: Preliminary technical and support activities • - Phase 2: Design technology transfer • - Phase 3: Manufacturing know-how transfer • - Phase 4: Connection and installation training,

  6. Project phases (2) Phase 1 • Setting up of a working group of AUXITROL and ELOX staff. • Definition of working methods. • Planning • Definition of the Quality Assurance program. • Study of the existing installations at ELOX in order to specify the machines and tools to be bought by ELOX for manufacturing and control of the electric penetrations • Assistance for ELOX in order to specify the machines and tools to be bought. • Assistance for ELOX in the installation and starting up of the machines. • Assistance for ELOX in order to obtain from GOSATGMNADZQR qualification and agreement to manufacture the penetrations in the ELOX plant at KOMSOMOLSKY.

  7. Project Phases (3) Phase 2 • Training of ELOX staff to the control and maintenance of machines and tools, • Training and transfer of the electric penetrations knowledge, particular training to the codes and standards which govern the electric penetrations (IEEE 317 and 323, code ASME, 10 CFR50, RCC-E, CEI 772, ISO 9001, guides and codes of the IAEA, Russian codes and standards), • Training on Quality Assurance and to control techniques of the electric penetrations, • Training on Quality Assurance for packaging and transport, • Training on Quality Assurance for the on site activities.

  8. Project Phases (4) Phase 3 Training and transfer of the know how for manufacturing and testing the electric penetrations. Remark: This phase, the longest one, has been the most important, because the whole penetrations manufacturing operations were manual. The whole trained staff became familiar with the penetrations manufacturing

  9. Project Phases (5) Phase 4 • Training to wiring and to the different connecting methods of the electric penetrations, • Training on implementation of the more tractable sleeves, • Training for on site installation and assembly (penetrations handling, assembly, welding, control, connecting), • Quality Assurance training on site

  10. Project Phases (6) Training and Number of Trained Persons (acc. To Phase 4) Training in equipment operation and maintenance: 4 Transfer of electric penetration design technology: 17 Training on management and quality assurance: 12 Transfer of penetration manufacturing know-how: 30 Training on electrical wiring and connection methods 14 Training in on site installation activities 19

  11. Conclusions (1) • ELOX has the technical means (premises, machines, tools) to manufacture and control entirely assembled electric penetrations, • ELOX staff acquired sufficient technical knowledge to manufacture and control complete electric penetrations as well as to do their installation, welding and on site testing • The training of the staff and the implementation of a Quality Assurance program guarantee that the equipment manufactured and tested by ELOX has an acceptable quality for nuclear industry

  12. Conclusions (2) However not all could be achieved in the framework of the project and the related budget: • The task not solved, was the supply of components (tubes, conductors and insulators of penetrations as well as thermo retractable sleeves) • No supplier was found in the CIS who was able to deliver these parts in an acceptable quality according to the requirements.
