DEVELOPMENT OF THE MAAP CODE FOR ANALYSIS OF VVER PWRS ABSTRACT The VVER type Pressurized Water Reactors, designed in the former USSR and operating in a number of Eastern European countries, have some significant design differences when compared with "Western" PWRs. In the near future, a number of safety studies of VVERs will be performed, and a tool is needed which can analyze the plant response to a wide range of potential accidents in support of the safety evaluations. This paper describes a program underway to develop a VVER version of the Modular Accident Analysis Program, version 4, (MAAP4), covering both the 440 and 1000 VVER plant models. We discuss the overall structure of MAAP, the modelling changes being performed, the applications foreseen for the new code, and the current status of the development.
