 abstract={The paper presents an analysis of a transition from a coal-fired power plant to a nuclear unit. The main focus is set on the extensive usage of the existing parts of the already operating system. The key problem is the correct matching of a nuclear reactor and the steam island. It is assumed here that the reactor module operates under nominal conditions and the steam turbine is adapted to fit the reactor. The paper describes the numerical model of the steam turbine cycle for the off-design simulations. The developed model allows us to determine the changes in the steam cycle in order to match the required water and steam temperature values at the inlets and the outlets of the steam generator. The paper presents the suggested modifications and the evaluation of the operation after the transition.},
