Conclusions There is a basic possibility to raise the maximum power of a unit containing the VVÉR-1000 reactor in the course of the fuel charge burn-up and with lowering the coefficient of the energy-release nonuniformity in the reactor core. It is more advantageous economically to obtain additional power in carrying the peak load. With the duration of such operating conditions for 1000–2000 h/yr savings can amounts to 1–4 million rubles per year per 100 MW of additional power when compared to peaking GTP. It is necessary to analyze in more detail the safety as well as technical and economic indexes of the VVÉR-1000 and of the entire power unit both under normal operating conditions and in emergency situation for the proposed elevated power mode. It is necessary to develop a procedure of experimental substantiation of a possible forcing level for the operating units of the NPS containing a VVÉR. The interested agencies should be involved in this development. Technical and economic advisability of making up a set of power-unit equipment suitable to carry short load peaks and prolonged elevation of the electric loads in the EPS should be determined on this basis and changes and additions should be introduced when developing new designs.
