On June 13, 2019 the European Utility Requirements (EUR) Organisation and Atomenergoproekt (AEP) celebrated the finalisation of the VVER TOI assessment project. The assessment started on February 2016, before the finalisation of the EUR revision E, and involved the designer (AEP), the designer partners (Gidropress and Kurchatov Institute) and involved EUR Utilities (EDF, Rosenergoatom, CEZ, Paks II and Gen energija).
The VVER TOI assessment has been based on the safety report, the detailed PSA reports and dozens of additional design documents provided by AEP, and the designer partners (Gidropress, KI and TVEL). More than 7000 pages of demonstration and justification documents have been supplied by the designer and analysed by the EUR project team during the assessment process. The analysis of the compliance concerning 4714 requirements structured in 20 chapters indicated a good results for the VVER TOI. Less than 2 % of the EUR requirement has been identified as not compliant.
The description of the VVER TOI design and the main findings of the assessment have been validated by the EUR Steering Committee which delivered a certificate to the designer and designer partners during a ceremony organised on 13 June at Saint Petersburg. VVER TOI subset will be published by the end of the year and added to Volume 3 of the EUR Document which is the collection of all the previous design assessments by the EUR Organisation.

The technical assessment of Mitsubishi Heavy Industry·s EU-APWR vs. the revision D of EUR Volume 2 started at the same time as the release of the EUR revision D. This is the first nuclear island assessment towards the EUR revision D and the goal is to finish the assessment and release the EUR Volume 3 subset H EU-APWR within 2 years time. The preparations for the project began in late spring 2012 when a Coordination Group was established in order to manage and administer the project. The Coordination Group is composed of representatives from the sponsors, supporters and the vendor.
