Abstract
New principles, methods, and measures used for preventing the occurrence of failures in elements, pipelines, and equipment of nuclear power stations and making them more resistant to erosion-corrosion wear during operation are outlined. Results obtained from comprehensive work on optimizing operational monitoring of the main metal of pipelines used in the condensate-feedwater path of power units at nuclear power stations equipped with VVER-1000 reactors are presented. The main directions and stages of work on elaborating normative documents and software systems for supporting the personnel of nuclear power stations are determined.
