More than 60 % of the new plants will be operated on natural gas. All utilities are called to check the data of their plants in the list. To some extent the data are not transferred to VGB completely.

This amount matches the electricity the closed-down swedish nuclear power plant Barsebeck used to produce.
2) Application of FRP-liners in chimneysApplication of FRP-liners in chimneys can also be recommended in case of wet-stack-operation (flue gas temperature: ~50 degree centigrade) and in case of an assumed accident/incident with bypass operation (flue gas temperature: ~150 degree centigrade). Here an abrupt increase in temperature is less critical than a distinct decrease of temperature. An accurate production of the liners (winding modes "wet in wet", order of flow/randomly oriented fibre mat close to surface inside for compensation for rough surfaces of the coil) with minimum inside protection layer thickness is of the essence of prevention of damages (diffusion of fume condensate in a porous chemical protective layer inside, vaporisation of humidity at high temperatures, blisters and possibly burst).
3) Revision of the VGB-data sheet M213H "Coal Mills"The VGB working panel "Fuel Technology and Firing Systems" began with the revision of the data sheet for coal mills. Emphasis of the revision is as below:
4) Heinrich Mandel-Prize for Power Plant Engineering 2006As every year VGB-FORSCHUNGSSTIFTUNG (Research Foundation) requests your proposals for awarding the 10,000 Euro Heinrich-Mandel Prize to young engineers from practical fields of work or science. Candidates should not be older than 35 years. The prize is awarded on the occasion of the VGB Congress in Dresden. Deadline for proposals is March 31, 2006.
5) VGB-TW103Ae "Analysis of Unavailability of Thermal Power Plants"The technical scientific report "Analysis of Unavailability of Thermal Power Plants" is now available for the operation decade 1995-2004 (pdf file). The report provides information about weak points of equipment and power plant systems. VGB is analysing the annual unavailability (UA analysis) in order to identify the root causes, i.e. those systems causing unavailability to be able to upgrade such weak equipment. The systems and equipment to be analysed are specified according to the KKS power plant identification system.
6) VGB-TW804e "Reliability Data for Nuclear Power Plant Components - Analysis for 2004"The aim of the report is to provide reliability data that can be used in ongoing and future probabilistic safety analyses (PSA)conducted by the owners/operators of nuclear power plants. The Centralized Reliability and Events Database (ZEDB) gathers and analyzes operating experience gained at a large number of nuclear power plants. The ZEDB use the two-stage Bayesian models to calculate plant-specific and generic reliability data. The report includes the general descriptions of ZEDB database and methodology of analysis as well as the results of analysis. The data tables consist of three parts: a characterization of the component population, a list of the determined generic values, and a list of the determined plant-specific values.
7) New PSA Guideline in Germany and international exchange of PSA experiences performed by NPP operatorsThe PSA Guideline about the accomplishment of "Periodic Safety Review according to the article 19a of the Atomic Energy Act - Guidelines about Probabilistic Safety Assessment" (PSA) for nuclear power plants modified by BMU (Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety) was published in the "Bundesanzeiger" (i.e. organ of German federal supervisory authority) on November 3, 2005. Additional, the technical references "Methods of PSA in NPP" and "Data for PSA in NPP" were updated by BfS (Federal Office for Radiation Protection) and published by publishing company "Wirtschaftsverlag NW" (http://www.nw-verlag.de). In order that the official PSA Guideline and the related references published in 1996 or 1997 were adapted and the included scope of analysis was extended.
