I too work for Nuclear Power Project in India.
As you wish the KKS may soon become useful in mines as well.
The RDS-PP - Reference Designation System for Power Plants may replace KKS
RDS-PP is the further development for the proven identification system for power plants KKS. Compared to this, it provides a number of innovations and extensions, coming up for today's requirements for designation of power plants components. In contrast to the KKS, RDS-PP was enhanced with a view on new forms of power generation, e. g. decentralized plants.
The new designation system is based on international standards, especially to DIN ISO 16952-1, DIN EN 61346-1 and IEC/PAS 62400, related to the structuring principles and the designation systematic. The VGB Working Panel "Reference Designation and Plant Documentation" takes an active part in the development of the RDS-PP and its underlying national and international standards.
The international harmonization of the RDS-PP and its constant structuring help to avoid errors and misunderstandings during the designation whereby the plant reliability is increased.
RDS-PP is - same as the KKS - a common standard for operators and manufacturers of power plants. The world-wide acceptance opens further potentials for long-term cost reductions when planning, construction and operating of power plants.
