“Ukratominstruments” Corporation has completed the implementation of all the necessary measures for the preparation of the boiler and heating systems of the city of Oster for the heating season 2018 – 2019. As part of the preparatory activities, the following main works were performed:
1) Water-chemical flushing of boilers was carried out
2) Completed Maintenance of the heating main (cleaning of wells, tightening of bolted connections and partial stuffing of stuffing box seals on snaps etc.)
3) Replaced 65 meters of old network pipes
4) Conducted hydraulic testing of the heating main
5) Periodic verification of measuring instruments (pressure gauges, thermometers)

Now before the start of the heating season 2018-2019 gg. all the above mentioned preparatory works have been completed, the boiler and heating systems are ready for operation.

For reference: “Ukratominstruments” Corporation is a participant in the Public Private Partnership (PPP) program with the territorial community of Oster, Chernigiv Region, for the production and supply of thermal energy. Within the framework of the agreement on joint activities, the Corporation fulfilled the re-equipment of the boiler plant by installing boilers for solid fuels and built a new heat pipe line.

On September 14, 2018 employees of the Corporation “Ukrtompribor” visited the International Environmental Forum, organized by public organizations “I Live in Harmony” and “New Ukrainian Community”.

The forum was held to unite representatives of the state, inventors and scientists, industrial enterprises to discuss issues of environmental protection and rational use of natural resources (construction of air and water treatment plants, efficient waste treatment, introduction of alternative energy sources, organic production at affordable prices ). Based on the results of the discussions, the benchmarks were determined for economically viable and innovative solutions in sustainable development on this topic and, accordingly, attracting investments for the implementation of the decisions taken.

Thanks to the Business part of the forum, the Corporation representatives had an opportunity to discuss problematic issues of ecology with leading experts and get acquainted with the programs of Ukraine, Canada, Japan, Germany. Especially it is worth noting informative presentations of innovative solutions and technologies to potential clients and investors that were presented at the Exhibition part of the Forum.

The forum provided an opportunity for participants to learn about new developments and solutions for preserving the environment and demonstrate their products and technologies on the territory of the expo zone and thereby establish relations with representatives of various business areas.

The event was timed to coincide with the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer.

Representatives of the “Ukratominstrments” Corporation took part in the VI International Scientific and Practical Conference “Safety and Efficiency of Nuclear Energy” traditionally took place at the Odessa Polytechnic Institute and was devoted to the implementation of the strategy for the development of the nuclear power complex of Ukraine in the context of the world trend. The event was organized by SE NNEGC Energoatom and Odessa Polytechnic Institute.

The main issues discussed at the conference were strategic directions for the development of the Ukrainian nuclear energy complex, promising ways of improving nuclear technologies, modern methods of diagnostics and maintenance of nuclear power equipment, enhancing nuclear and radiation safety, training and improving the skills of specialists of nuclear power enterprises in Ukraine.

The conference was attended by more than 160 participants from 18 organizations, scientific institutions in the field of nuclear energy use; among them were representatives of France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Norway, Turkey and the World Association of Nuclear Operators.

The conference was timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the founding of Odessa Polytechnic University. We congratulate the team and wish them success in training highly qualified specialists for the nuclear power industry of Ukraine!

Thanks to the organizers for the informative conference and the high level of the event!

One of the activities of the “Ukratominstruments” Corporation is to conduct research and development of technologies in the field of radioactive waste management. In this area, liquid radioactive waste (LRW) is especially difficult to process and requires a developed scientific and technical basis. To work with them you need to have sufficient experience and competence.
To familiarize with the existing technologies for handling LRW, the specialists of the “Ukratominstruments” Corporation visited Zaporizhzhya NPP. They got acquainted with the peculiarities of the behavior with LRW at the ZNPP, discussed the advantages and problems in the management of radioactive waste.
For reference. At ZNPP, a complex for reprocessing of RW has been built and is preparing for industrial operation in full accordance with the regulatory base of Ukraine and corresponds to the modern scientific and technical level. Complex for reprocessing of RW will provide the whole range of works with the subsequent possibility of transferring RW to the final storage.

In the world energy community, the issue of handling out a liquid radioactive waste (LRW) is of particular relevance, since their safe and long-term storage must have a solid scientific and technical basis. The radioactive waste management is one of the key activities of the Ukratominstruments Corporation. Active interaction with the partners contributes to improving the quality of work and developing innovative solutions in the industry.

Within the framework of the development of this sphere, in the period from 01.07 to 04.07.2018, a business trip of representatives of the Ukratominstruments Corporation to the company “Chemcomex” (Czech Republic) was organized to familiarize with developments in the introduction of technologies in the field of LRW processing. To get acquainted with the company’s work and study the features from the inside, the Corporation employees were able to observe the process of LRW processing at the Dukovany NPP. During the meeting, issues of research and development of new methods for processing and handling LRW were discussed.

Ukratominstruments Corporation is grateful to representatives of the company “Chemcomex” for an informative and productive meeting.
We look forward to further cooperation.

On February 10, 2018, the tender  for the project “Comprehensive analysis of the safety of radioactive waste management facilities implemented by the State Corporation” Ukrainian State Association Radon “and the design of rehabilitation for specific problematic objects (U4.01 14 C).” The tender offer of the consortium consisting of: “Ukratominstruments” Corporation, Brenk Systemplanung GmbH (Consortium leader), PLEJADES GmbH and DMT GmbH was appreciated by the experts of the European Commission and scored the maximum number of points. Based on the results of the assessment, on July 5, 2018, the leader of the consortium Brenk Systemplanung GmbH received an invitation to sign a contract for the implementation of the project.

This project is aimed at developing technical solutions for recovery of liquid and solid radioactive waste (RW) and rehabilitation of problem storage facilities. It is also planned to design a temporary (mobile) building, which will be located above each storage to isolate it from the environment during the extraction of radioactive waste. The project is planned for 3 years, the European Commission will finance the project.

“Ukratominstruments” Corporation has an experience of successful cooperation with the companies-members of the Consortium and expects a fruitful work on the new project.
