Russian design code

Russian design codes were validated against scaled and unsealed experimental facilities. Use of western codes in the countries operating WWER-plants is based on an ongoing validation process using different and appropriate means to demonstrate western code application to WWER plants. 

In each of the generic areas listed above diere are collaborative activities between either or both the design and R D organisations. This includes specific joint tasks between European and Japanese design companies in each area, and generally on the safety fimctions between European and Russian companies. In the development and validation of codes there are a number of shared activities between the R D organisations.
