Abstract

The paper informs the participants of the fact that working group H elaborated a draft
document ?Estimation procedure for engineering margin factors of VVER fuel cycles?. The
document represents recommendations and, if approved, shall be intended for estimation of
engineering margin factors of VVER-440 and VVER-1000.
To enable certain approaches, the document proposes a number of alternative solutions.
The document will be distributed at the Symposium and may be discussed by the members to
issue a final revision.
