Dear Mr. Abbaspour and Mr. Sebteahmadi,

I wish you and your families a healthy and fruitful New Year!

At Mr. Vasilii Saprikin's (from Kurchatov Institut) kind request, I am writing to you with the following question:

At Kozloduy NPP, for the reactor core neutron-physics calculations we are using our own guiding document, approved by the National Regulatory Authority. This guidance defines the scope and all parameters and states at wich the calculations for each fuel cycle have to be done for safety reports preparation. In Russia all NPP's are using the so called guiding document "Номенклатура эксплуатационных нейтронно-физических расчетов и измерений для топливных загрузок ВВЭР-1000". In Ukrain for example they have their oun guidance as we have. But of course, our document and Ukrainian are taking into account what is written in "Номенклатура...".

Mr. Saptikin told me that he is now doing the neutron-physics calculations for the next fuel cycles of Bushehr NPP and for him is important to know what is the regulatory basis in Iran - do you use the same guidance "Номенклатура..." or you have your own guidance, approved by Iranian Regulatory Body?

Best regards,
Krasimir Kamenov
