    Nuclear reactor RA at Vinca has been designed as a high flux general purpose research reactor. Among other it was intended to play a role of material testing reactor. A scope of activities of Material Laboratory and Reactor RA Department of Boris Kidric Institute is presented in this report. Reactor RA capacity for reactor structural material and fuel irradiation is also described. The increase of RA reactor irradiation capacity is based on the improvement of VISA type fuel channel for fast neutron irradiations, as well as on the general neutron flux increase, due to introduction of highly enriched uranium fuel into reactor core and the advanced in-core fuel management. The irradiation capacities described allow for the reactor material and fuel testing to the considerable extent. Istrazivacki reaktor RA u Vinci je projektovan kao visokofluksni istrazivacki reaktor opste namene. Pored ostalog, on je namenjen i za testiranje reaktorskih konstrukcionih materijala i goriva. U radu je dat pregled aktivnosti Laboratorije za materijale IBK i reaktora RA na tom podrucju, kao i opis povecanih mogucnosti reaktora RA za ozracivanje reaktorskih materijala i goriva u cilju njihovog testiranja. Povecanje mogucnosti reaktora RA zasniva se na usavrsavanju specijalnog gorivnog kanala tipa VISA (za ozracivanje materijala brzim neutronima), kao i na opstem povecanju neutronskog fluksa na osnovu uvodjenja i nacina koriscenja visokoobogacenog uranskog goriva u reaktoru RA. Opisane mogucnosti reaktora RA dozvoljavaju u znatnoj meri ispitivanje konstrukcionih materijala i goriva energetskih reaktora.

    The objective of nuclear reactor kinetics study is to analyze the stability of reactor operation in practice. The obtained parameters should define the needed properties of automatic control system relevant for the stability of the designed reactor system. Refining the analytical models is done by using the analysis and interpretation of experimental data. Results of measured the reactor response obtained by using the reactor oscillator ROB-1 are explained by using the space independent model of the zero power reactor, by power reactor model with one feedback circuit, and by a complex model. It was assumed that the perturbations of the system are small and that linearized kinetic equations could be used. Linearized kinetic equation of the reactor system are transformed into the frequency region in order to analyze the measured values directly. The objective of this paper is to measure the RA reactor kinetics parameters, and analyze the stability of reactor operation at power levels high than nominal. Istrazivanja u oblasti kinetike nuklearnih reaktora imaju za cilj da dovedu analizu stabilnosti rada reaktora na nivo 'radne tehnologije'. Dobijeni pararametri treba da specificiraju potrebne karakteristike sistema automatske kontrole za odgovarajucu stabilnost projektovanog reaktorskog sistema. Doterivanjem analitickih modela do takvog nivoa da se zapazeni fenomeni mogu anailitcki predvideti ide preko analize i interpretacije eksperimentalnih podataka. Eksperimentalni rezultati merenja odziva reaktora, izvedeni reaktorskim oscilatorom ROB-1, interpretirani su na osnovu prostorno nezavisnog modela za reaktor nulte snage, modelom reaktora snage sa jednim kolom povratne sprege, kao i kompleksnim modelom. U ovom radu se poslo od toga da su perturbacije parametara sistema male, pa se mogu upotrebiti linearizovane kineticke jednacine. Linearizovane kineticke jednacine reaktorskog sistema transformirane su u frekventno podrucje s ciljem direktne analize mernih rezultata

    The ten-year work on in-pile chemical dosimetry of the Radiation chemistry Department at the Boris Kidric Institute at Vinca is reviewed. As an introduction, the general theory of the dosimetry of two-component radiation field is given and the uses of the derived equations in calorimetry and chemical dosimetry have been discussed. The chemical systems worked out for the in-pile use: solid oxalic acid and their solutions in light and heavy water, are then described and also the procedures of their use. The latter two are treated as a double system particularly suitable for two-component radiation fields. Finally, the limitations in use are discussed and some other systems, the study of which is in progress, mentioned (malonic and succinic acid) (author) [Serbo-Croat] Merenje energije koju apsorbuje sistem izlozen zracenju sastavni je deo svakog radijaciono-hemijskog eksperimenta. Time se moze objasniti veliki interes za koriscenje postojecih i razvijanje novih metoda dozimetrije u laboratorijama koje se bave radijacionom hemijom. Poslednjih godina posebna paznja se posvecuje dozimetriji vrlo visokih doza (10{sup 2}-10{sup 3} mrad) narocito onih sa kojima se radi u polju mesovitog zracenja reaktora. U laboratoriji za radijacionu hemiju Instituta 'Boris Kidric' u Vinci na dozimetriji zracenja reaktorskog jezgra radi se vec skoro 10 godina. Ta aktivnost je deo rada na hemijskoj dozimetriji uopste, kojom se bavi ova laboratorija od svog postanka (kraj 1955. godine). Sa radom na dozimetriji kod nas otpocelo se u periodu prvog podizanja na snagu reaktora RA, krajem 1959. godine. Paralelno su razvijane i primenjivane i hemijske i kalorimetrijske metode i njima vrsena dozimetrijska kalibracija reaktora. U ovom radu ucestvovalo je vise istrazivaca iz Laboratorije za radijacionu hemiju uz tesnu saradnju sa reaktorskim fizicarima i osobljem reaktora RA. Cilj ovog napisa je da sumira nas rad na hemijskoj dozimetriji reaktora. Pri tom se, najpre, zeli da ukaze na sustinu

    The paper is devoted to the possibilities of using experimental reactors for scientific research in nuclear power with a stress on problems in nuclear reactor theory. The stationary and nonstationary neutron fields, burnup prediction and analyses as well as fuel element development and the corresponding role of test-reactors were dealt with. It was shown that the investigations in nuclear reactor theory in Yugoslavia were developing continuously and in a useful interaction with experiments on research reactors. The needs for continuing the work on fundamental problems in neutron transport theory and on improving the calculation methods for thermal power reactors, together with the improvement of performances of existing research systems, were pointed out. A new quality in scientific work could be obtained dealing with the problems connected to a possible introduction of test-reactors, and fast systems later on. It was also pleaded for the corresponding orientations in fundamental sciences. (author) Rad je posvecen mogucnostima koriscenja eksperimentalnih reaktora za naucna istrazivanja u nuklearnoj energetici, sa akcentom na probleme teorije nuklearnih reaktora. Obradjena su stacionarna i nestacionarna neutronska polja, predikcija i analize sagorevanja, kao i razvoj gorivnih elemenata te uloga test-reaktora u osvajanju njihove tehnologije. Pokazano je da su se istrazivanja u teoriji nuklearnih reaktora u nas odvijala kontinualno i u korisnoj interakciji sa eksperimentima na istrazivackim reaktorima. Istaknuta je potreba nastavljanja rada na fundamentalnim problemima transportne teorije neutrona i na usavrsavanju metoda proracuna termalnih enerrgetskih reaktora, uz poboljsanje performansi postojecih istrazivackih sistema. Novi kvalitet u naucnom radu bi predstavljala orijentacija na probleme vezane sa eventualnim uvodjenjem test-reaktora, a zatim i brzih sistema. Pledirano je i za odgovarajuca usmeravanja u fundamentalnim naukama. (author)

    This volume describes RA reactor auxiliary systems, as follows: special ventilation system, special drainage system, hot cells, systems for internal transport. Ventilation system is considered as part of the reactor safety and protection system. Its role is eliminate possible radioactive particles dispersion in the environment. Special drainage system includes pipes and reservoirs with the safety role, meaning absorption or storage of possible radioactive waste water from the reactor building. Hot cells existing in the RA reactor building are designed for production of sealed radioactive sources, including packaging and transport. [Serbo-Croat] Ova knjiga obuhvata opis pomocnih sistem reaktora RA: sistem specijalne ventilacije, sistem specijalne kanalizacije, vruce komore, sistemi za unutrasnji transport. Ventilacioni sistem je znacajan deo sistema zastite i sigurnosti reaktora. Njegova je uloga da onemoguci disperziju radioaktivnih cestica u okolinu. Sistem specijalne kanalizacije sastoji se od agregata, cevovoda i rezervoara sa sigurnosnom armaturom i ima zadatak da prihvata i u sebe deponuje radioaktivne otpadne vode iz objekarta reaktora RA. U zgradi reaktora RA postoje vruce komore koje su namenjene za proizvodnju zatvorenih izvora zracenje, ukljucujuci i mehanicku obradu, prepakivanje i transport.

    It has been planned for 1978 that the RA reactor would be operated for 158 dana at nominal power of 6.5 MW meaning production of 24 648 MWh. The plan was fulfilled since 24 652 MWh was produces. Reactor operation for 158 days is relevant to reactor operation for 200 days in the period before 1975. The reason is increased neutron flux achieved due to improved fuel management and the characteristics of the new 80% enriched fuel. At the end of 1978 the reactor core contained 45% of 80% enriched fuel elements. Increase of neutron flux has shortened the typical time needed for irradiation of the most important samples for isotope production. This significant success in reactor operation is at the same time an obligation for increasing its utilization. Some new trends proposed for increasing reactor utilization capacities were presented at the Conference on utilization of research nuclear reactors in Yugoslavia held in May 1978. [Serbo-Croat] Reaktor RA imao je u planu za 1978. godinu 158 dana rada na nominalnoj snazi od 6.5 MW, sto odgovara radu od 24 648 MWh. Ostvareno je 24 652 MWh sto znaci da je plan ostvaren. Rad reaktora od 158 dana odgovara radu reaktora od 200 dana u periodu pre 1975. godine. Razlog je povecanje neutronskog fluksa zahvaljujuci usavrsenom rukovanju gorivom i karakteristikama novog 80% obogacenog goriva. Krajem 1978. godine 45% jezgra reaktora bilo je popunjeno novim 80% obogacenim gorivom. Povecani neutronski fluks omogucio je skracenje vremena ozracivanja vaznih uzoraka za proizvodnju radioaktivnih izotopa. Ovaj znacajan uspeh je istovremeno obaveza znatno veceg iskoriscenja reaktora RA. Rezultati napora da se postigne vece iskoriscenje reaktora RA prezentirani su na Konferenciji o koriscenju nuklearnih reaktora u Jugoslaviji koja je odrzana u maju 1978.

    In order to increase the flux and experimental potentials of the RA reactor, properties of the reactor operating in the forced regime have been inspected four times, twice with the spent fuel (core C), and twice with partly fresh fuel (cores E and F). Forced regime means power higher than nominal 6.5 MW. From the analyses of technology parameters during operation in the forced regime at power levels of 7 and 11 MW, state and behaviour of the components, efficiency of the biological protection and other parameters it was concluded that the reactor operation is possible at power levels of 10 MW during a whole year, and under certain conditions even longer operation at power levels up to 15 MW. This paper examines the reactor operation conditions in the forced regime and gives conclusions related to real increase of the experimental possibilities, isotope production and economic factors. Radi povecanja fluksa i eksperimentalnih mogucnosti reaktora RA, cetiri puta su proverene osobine reaktora u forsiranom rezimu, tj. na snagama vecim od nominalne (6,5 MW) i to dva puta sa istrosenim gorivom (jezgro C) i dva puta sa delimicno svezim (jezgra E i F). Iz analize tehnoloskih parametara u toku eksperimentalno rada reaktora u forsiranom rezimu na snagama od 7 do 11 MW, stanja i ponasanja opreme, efikasnosti bioloske zastite i ostalih parametara, zakljucuje se da je moguc permanentan rad reaktora tokom cele godine na snagama do 10 MW, a pod izvesnim uslovima i duzi rad na snagama do 15 MW. U radu su diskutovani uslovi rada reaktora u forsiranom rezimu i donose se zakljucci o realnom povecanju eksperimentalnih mogucnosti, proizvodnje radioizotopa i o ekonomskim faktorima (author)

    RA research reacto was not operated due to the prohibition issued in 1984 by the Government of Serbia. Three major tasks were finished in order to fulfill the licensing regulations about safety of nuclear facilities which is the condition for obtaining permanent operation licence. These projects involved construction of the emergency cooling system, reconstruction of the existing special ventilation system, and renewal of the system for electric power supply of the reactor systems. Renewal of the RA reactor instrumentation system was initiated. Design project was done by the Russian Atomenergoeksport, and is foreseen to be completed by the end of 1988. The RA reactor safety report was finished in 1987. This annual report includes 8 annexes concerning reactor operation, activities of services and financial issues, and three special annexes: report on testing the emergency cooling system, report on renewal of the RA reactor and design specifications for reactor renewal and reconstruction.

    Nuclear reactor accidents can be caused by three type of errors: failure of reactor components including (1) control and measuring instrumentation, (2) errors in operation procedure, (3) natural disasters. Safety during reactor operation are secured during its design and construction and later during operation. Both construction and administrative procedures are applied to attain safe operation. Technical safety features include fission product barriers, fuel elements cladding, primary reactor components (reactor vessel, primary cooling pipes, heat exchanger in the pump), reactor building. Safety system is the system for safe reactor shutdown and auxiliary safety system. RA reactor operating regulations and instructions are administrative acts applied to avoid possible human error caused accidents. [Serbo-Croat] Uzroci udesa na nuklearnim reaktorima mogu se svrstati u jednu od sledece tri grupe: (1) otkaz pojedinih delova opreme, ukljucujuci mernu i kontrolnu instrumentaciju, (2) greske u pogonu i eksploataciji, (3) prirodne nepogode, katastrofe. Bezbednost i sigurnost u radu nuklearnog reaktora osiguravaju se odredjenim merama koje se preduzimaju pri njegovoj izgradnji i kasnije njegovoj elsploataciji. Te mere se mogu podeliti u sledece dve kategorije: (1) mere tehnicke zastite, i (2) administrativne mere. Mere tehnicke zastite sastoje se od barijere fissionih produkata, kosuljice gorivnih elemenata, primarnog kola reaktora RA (reaktorski sud, cevovod primarnog kola, toploizmenjivac u pimpi), zgrada reaktora. Sigurnosni sistem cini sistem za sigurnosno zaustavljanje reaktora i pomocni sigurnosni sistem. Kroz odgovarajuce propise i uputstva za rad na reaktoru RA primenjene su administrativne mere neophodne za sprecavanje udes koji bi mogao nastati kao posledica ljudskog faktora.

    Power excursions of the RA reactor a mathematical model of reactor kinetic behaviour was formulated to describe power and temperature coefficients for both reactor fuel and moderator. Computer code TM-1 was written for analysis of possible reactor accidents. Power excursions caused by uncontrolled control rod removal and heavy water flow into the central vertical experimental channel were analyzed. Accidents caused by fuel elements handling were discussed including possible fuel element damage. Although the probability for uncontrolled radioactive materials release into the environment is very low, this type of accidents are analyzed as well including the impact on the personnel and the environment. A separate chapter describes analysis of the loss of flow accident. Safety analysis covers the possible damage of the outer steel Ra reactor vessel and the water screens which are part of the water biological shield. [Serbo-Croat] Radi analize dinamickog ponasanja reaktora RA u toku ekskurzije snage formulisan je matematicki model koji opisuje promene snage i temperature goriva i moderatora. Za analizu predpostavljenih akcidenata realizovan je racunarski program TM-1. Analizirane su ekskurzije snage usled nekontrolisanog izvlacenja kontrolnih sipki i punjenja centralnog vertikalnog eksperimentalnog kanala teskom vodom. Analizirani su akcidenti pri rukovanju nuklearnim gorivom ukljucujuci ostecenje nuklearnog goriva. Iako je verovatnoca za nekontrolisano rasturanje radioaktivnog materijala mala, analizirani su i ovakvi moguci akcidenti koji mogu uticati kako na osoblje reaktora tako i na okolinu. Posebno poglavlje obuhvata analizu akcidenta u slucaju prestanka cirkulacije primarnog hladioca. Analiza sigurnosti reaktora obuhvata i moguce ostecenje spoljasnjeg celicnog suda reaktora RA kao i vodenih ekrana koji su deo vodenog bioloskog stita.

    RA reactor operation plan was fulfilled, meaning 28583 MWh. In addition to 183 days of operation at full power, during 1977 the reactor was operated for 14 days at lower power level according to the demand of users. The utilization level of rector irradiation capability (neutron flux and time of operation) was 14%. This annex includes detailed statistical data about reactor operation, utilization, power level, savings concerned with new 80% enriched fuel. All the 9 vertical experimental channels were used for irradiation in the reactor core. Digression from the action plan were caused by refueling and demand od the users. There have been 11 safety shutdowns, of which 6 caused by power cuts, 4 due to failure of the instruments, and 1 due to earthquake in March 1977. [Serbo-Croat] Planirani rad reaktora na nominalnoj snazi ostvaren je u iznosu od 28583 MWh. U toku 1977. godine reaktor je radio 14 dana na manjim snagama i u posebnom eksperimentalnom rezimu na zahtev korisnika. Iskoriscenost kapaciteta reaktora za ozracivanje uzoraka (na bazi neutronskog fluksa i vremena rada reaktora) bila je 41%. Ovaj izvestaj sadrzi detaljne statisticke podatke o radu i iskoriscenosti reaktora, podatke o ustedi goriva prelaskom na 80% obogaceno gorivo. Korisceno je svih 9 vertikalnih eksperimentalnih kanala u aktivnoj zoni. Uzroci odstupanja od plana rada osim zamene goriva bili su zahtevi korisnika. Bilo je 11 sigurnosnih zaustavljanja, 6 usled nestanka napona, 4 usled kvarova opreme i instrumentacije, i 1 put usled zemljotresa u martu.

    This report includes a review of work related to development of reactor operation capacities and increase of the RA reactor safety and economic operation. Statistical data about reactor operation and utilization are included as well. Introducing of the new 80% enriched fuel into the the reactor core enabled increase of the neutron flux, i.e. increase of its production capabilities. Safety and optimization analyses concerned with introduction of the new fuel have shown that the most safe and economic procedure was gradual introducing of the highly enriched fuel. This procedure was based on the concept of mixed core configuration with 2% and 80% enriched fuel elements. By applying this original concept the following significant savings were achieved: fuel elements savings, shortening of the annual period of reactor operation, savings in spent fuel casks, electric power savings, slowing down of heavy water degradation. [Serbo-Croat] Ovaj izvestaj sadrzi pregled o radu na razvoju eksploatacionih mogucnosti i povecanju sigurnosti i ekonomicnosti reaktora RA. Prilozeni su i statisticki podaci o radu i iskoriscenosti reaktora u 1978. godini. Uvodjenje novog 80% obogacenog goriva u jezgro reaktora omogucilo je povecanje neutronskog fluksa tj. povecanje njegovoh proizvodnih mogucnosti. Sigurnosne i optimizacione analize uvodjenja novog goriva pokazale su da je nasigurniji i najekonomicniji postupak postupnog uvodjenja visokoobogacenog goriva koji se zasniva na konceptu mesane resetke sa 2% i 80% obogacenim gorivom. Ovaj originalni koncept omogucio je da se postignu znatne ustede u gorivu, skracivanje godisnjeg rada reaktora, usteda sudova za odlaganje isluzenog goriva, usteda elektricne energije, usporavanje degradacije teske vode.

    Pulse response is comprehensive description of linear system dynamics. In this paper, cross correlation method was used for measuring the response of zero power reactor. Reactor system was perturbed by pseudo-random signal, which was cross correlated with the reactor signal responding to this perturbation on the digital ZUSE Z-23 computer. Cross-correlation functions were measured for different positions of stochastic oscillator and ionization chamber in the critical system. From numerical processing of performed experimental data, it was concluded that a more powerful faster computer would be needed for processing statistical experiments. In that case it would be possible to obtain information about spatial effects in the reactor and propagation of neutron waves in the multiplication medium. Impulsni odziv je potpuni opis dinamike linearnog sistema. Za merenje impulsnog odziva nultog reaktora, u ovom radu, koriscena je kros korelaciona metoda. Reaktorski sistem je perturbovan pseudoslucajnim signalom, koji je u digitalnom racunaru ZUSE Z-23 kroskorelisan sa signalom odziva reaktora na ove perturbacije. Merene su kroskorelacione funkcije za razlicite polozaje stohastickog oscilatora i jonizacione komore u kriticnom sistemu. Iz numericki obradjivanih eksperimenta namece se kao zakljucak da bi za obradu statistickih eksperimenata kod nultih reaktora bio potreban racunar veceg kapaciteta i brzine. U tom slucaju bi se iz ovako postavljenog eksperimenta moglo doci i do informacija o prostornim efektima u reaktoru i prostiranju neutronskih talasa kroz multiplikativnu sredinu. (author)

    During 1977, the RA Reactor was operated at nominal power of 6.5 MW for 183 days. Total production was 28582 MWh which is 10% higher than planned. Second phase of introducing the 80% enriched fuel was fulfilled according to the plan. This means that the reactor core will be filled with highly enriched fuel in 1978. Refueling was done three time during the past year. After completing the first phase of the fuel exchange which was related mostly to reactor safety, the second phase will be devoted to the more efficient increase of neutron flux . This second phase is of utmost importance because higher neutron flux will provide better and more efficient reactor application from economic point of view. This will justify the application of the new more expensive highly enriched fuel. The budget for reactor operation and maintenance is hardly enough to cover the maintenance of the components and instrumentation. During 1977 there were no accidents related nor incidents related to the instrumentation or related to radiation protection. [Serbo-Croat] Reaktor RA je u toku 1977. godine ostvario rad od 28583 MWh odnosno 183 dana rada na nominalnoj snazi, sto u odnosu na plan rada iznosi 10% vise od planiranog. Druga faza uvodjenja 80% obogacenog goriva izvrsena je prema planu sto znaci da ce se punjenje jezgra reaktora 80% gorivom zavrsiti u toku 1978. godine. Izvrsene su tri izmene goriva. Posle isteka prvog dela prelaznog rezima koji je usmeren na maksimalnu sigurnost reaktora preci ce se na drugi deo usmeren na vece i brze povecanje neutronskog fluksa. Druga faza je od izuzetnog znacaja jer ce omoguciti bolje i znatno ekonomicnije koriscenje reaktora i opravdati upotrebu novog i skupljeg goriva. Sredstva za pogon i odrzavanje reaktora RA su jedva dovoljna za odrzavanje neophodnog nivoa opreme. Akcidenata u toku 1977. godine nije bilo ni sa opremom ni u pogledu zastite od zracenja.

    Influence of absorbers on the reactivity of the reactor was calculated by two-group diffusion theory applying corrections for boundary conditions derived from the transport theory because diffusion theory in not applicable in the vicinity of boundary surfaces especially in case of strong absorbers. This report shows the calculations of central absorber efficiency in the core with and without reflector, and efficiency of the group of absorbers randomly placed in the core. Approximation method for determining the efficiency of the absorber is described as well as numerical verification of results. Effective absorber dimensions and the influence of gaps on the reactor dimensions are shown. [Serbo-Croat] Uticaj apsorbera na reaktivnost reaktora racunat je primenom difuzione dvogrupne teorije uz korekcije kod primene granicnih uslova koje daje transportna teorija za efektivne dimenzije apsorbera posto difuziona teorija ne moze da primeni u blizini granicnih povrsina posebno kod jakih apsorbera. U ovom izvestaju dati su proracuni efektivnosti centralnog apsorbera u reflektovanom u nereflektovanom reaktoru, efektivnosti grupe proizvoljno ubacenih apsorbera.

    Full text: This activity is a logical continuation of the experiment at the RA reactor during 1962 which was based on compensating the effect by means of control rod. Since results are given with significant errors, new method for measuring the absorption cross sections via reactor period. Experiment was done at the RB reactor which was particularly prepared for this type of experiments. Reactor power was from 50 mW to 2 W. Absorption cross sections were measured for two types of material: domestic graphite No.3 and French graphite 'Pachiney', and two types of aluminium. Total errors in applying this method are {+-} 5%, where the source of major part of error comes from uncertainty of the standard absorption power (previous method gave {+-} 10 do 55% ). Comparison of French graphite absorption cross section obtained via reactor period and via control rod showed approximate agreement with discrepancy of 5.4% which is considered within the precision of this method. Considering the accuracy of measurement results and reactor economy it is concluded that measuring absorption cross sections of samples via period of RB reactor is more favourable than measurements by control rod at the RA reactor.

    Highly enriched (80%) uranium oxide fuel was regularly used in the mixed reactor core with the 2% enriched fuel since 1976. The most important changes related to reactor operation, in comparison with the original design project were related to reactor core fuelling schemes. At the end of 1979 reactor was shutdown due to the corrosion coating noticed on some fuel elements and due to decrease quality of the heavy water. Subsequently the Sanitary inspector of Serbia has prohibited further reactor operation. Restart of the reactor will not be a simple continuation of operation. It is indispensable to perform complete experimental program including measurements of critical parameters at different power levels for the core with fresh 80% enriched fuel. The aim of this document is to obtain working permission and its contents are in agreement with the procedure demanded by the Safety Committee of the Institute. It includes results of optimization and safety analysis for the initial reactor core. Since the permission for restart is not obtained, a separate RA reactor safety report is prepared in addition to the program for experimental operation. This report includes: detailed program for reactor experimental operation with 80% enriched fuel in the core at low power levels, and contents of the experimental operation with 80% enriched fuel in the core at higher power levels. [Serbo-Croat] Od decembra 1976. godine redovno je korisceno 80% obogaceno gorivo u mesanoj resetki reaktorskog jezgra sa 2% obogacenim gorivom. Najvece izmene na reaktoru u odnosu na originalni projekat izvrsene su u nacinu rukovanja gorivom. Krajem marta 1979. godine obustavljen je rad reaktora usled naslaga na gorivnim elementima i loseg stanja teske vode. Naknadno je izdata zabrana za rad reaktora od strane Sanitarnog inspektora SR Srbije. Ponovno pustanje reaktora u rad nece biti jednostavan nastavak rada. Neophodno je da se izvede kompletan program merenja kriticnih parametara i drugih

    Based on the agreement between governments of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and USSR of January 28 1956, a contract was signed about construction of RA research reactor in the Boris Kidric Institute of nuclear sciences. Building of the RA reactor started in 1956, and has reached criticality in 1959. Since then it has been in almost permanent operation, except for five longer shutdown periods: in 1963 because of heavy water and primary coolant system contamination with cobalt; in 1970 because of transporting the heavy water to France for isotopic regeneration; in 1979/1980 and 1983 because of aluminium oxyhydrate deposition on the fuel element cladding in reactor active region; in 1985/1986 because of ventilation system reconstruction and construction of emergency core cooling system. RA reactor is a heavy water cooled and heavy water moderated research reactor. Since the beginning of its operation, 2% enriched metal uranium fuel was used. From 1976, 80% enriched uranium oxide fuel elements were used partially in some core regions and since 1981 the complete core was filled with this highly enriched fuel. RA reactor was designed to operate under normal conditions at 6.5 MW power and at 10 MW power under forced regime. As a powerful neutron source the reactor was meant to be used for research in the field of reactor and neutron physics, solid state physics, radiation chemistry, biology and radioactive isotopes production. RA reactor was build by Yugoslav companies based on USSR basic design project. Main components of the systems were produced in USSR. [Serbo-Croat] Na osnovu Sporazuma izmedju vlada SFRJ i SSSR od 28. januara 1956. godine, sklopljen je ugovor o izgradnji istrazivackog reaktora RA u Institutu za nuklearne nauke Boris Kidric u Vinci. Reaktor RA je poceo da se gradi 1956. godine, a kriticnost je postigao 1959. godine. Od tada je takoreci neprekidno bio u radu, izuzev u pet slucajeva duzeg stajanja: 1963. godine - zbog kontaminacije teske vode

    The objective of the measurements was determining the neutron flux in the RA reactor core. Since the number of fuel channels is increased from 56 to 68 within the VISA-2 project, it was necessary to attain criticality of the RA reactor and measure the neutron flux properties. The 'program of RA reactor start-up' has been prepared separately and it is included in this report. Measurements were divided in two phases. First phase was measuring of the neutron flux after the criticality was achieved but at zero power. During phase two measurements were repeated at several power levels, at equilibrium xenon poisoning. This report includes experimental data of flux distributions and absolute values of the thermal and fast neutron flux in the RA reactor experimental channels and values of cadmium ratio for determining the neutron epithermal flux. Data related to calibration of regulatory rods for cold un poisoned core are included. [Serbo-Croat] Svrha merenja je odredjivanje neutronskog fluksa u reaktoru RA. S obzirom na uvecani broj tehnoloskih kanala of 56 na 68 u vezi projekta VISA-2, bilo je potrebno ponovo dovesti reaktora RA do kriticnosti i izvrsiti merenja karakteristika fluksa neutrona. Posebno je pripremljen 'program pustanja u pogon reaktora RA', koji je sadrzan u ovom dokumentu. Program merenja bio je podeljen na dve faze. Prva faza je merenje fluksa pre podizanju reaktora na nominalnu snagu. Slicna merenja vrsena su i na vecim snagama u drugoj fazi, pod uslovima ravnoteznog zatrovanja reaktora ksenonom, jer se tada pokazuju izvesne promene u odgovarajucim karakteristikama fluksa neutrona. Ovaj izvestaj sadrzi merene vrednosti raspodele fluksa i apsolutne vrednosti termalnih i brzih neutrona kao i kadmijumskih odnosa koji su korisceni za odredjivanje fluksa epitermalnih neutrona. Opisana je kalibracija regulacionih sipki za hladan nezatrovan reaktor.

    Direct method for experimental determination of the neutron age {tau} in the reactor lattice is not developed. Fermi theory for determining {tau} by measuring the reactivity level of the heavy water can be applied for a limited number of reactor lattices. An attempt was made to apply this approach for a complex reactor core with side and upper reflector. As expected the obtained results were not satisfactory, and {tau} was determined by Dessauer formula which gives more realistic estimation of thermalization in the reactor cell. major discrepancies are resulting from the fact that the lower reflector was neglected. But it is possible to to determine {tau} for reactor core with reflectors by additional measurements of axial distribution and other experimental data for {tau}. This is quite tedious numerical procedure. Obtained experimental data for a number of reactor parameters are compared to the initial data of the RA reactor core showing very good agreement. [Serbo-Croat] Ekspeimentalna metoda za direktno odredjivanje starosti neutrona {tau}, u resetki reaktora do danas nije razvijena. Primenjena Fermijeova teorija za odredjivanje {tau} preko merenja reaktivnosti nivoa teske vode, ocigledno se moze koristiti samo na ogranicen spektar reaktorskih resetki. U ovom radu pokusano je da se vidi primenljivost iste u slozenom - bocno i odozdo - reflektovanom jezgru reaktora. Naravno dobijeni rezultati nisu zadovoljili, sto se i moglo ocekivati, pa je {tau} odredjen preko Dessauer-ove formule, sto daje daleko blizu sliku stvarnog stanja procesa termalizacije u celiji reaktora. Ocigledno vece neslaganje primenjene teorije dolazi od zanemarivanja donjeg reflektora u jezgru reaktora. Medjutim, dopnskim merenjem aksijalne raspodele i na osnovu ostalih eksperimentalnih podataka za {tau}, moguce je odrediti eksperimentalno reflektorski koeficijent za visestruko reflektovano jezgro reaktora, sto numericki predstavlja mukotrpan i dugotrajan rad na racunaru.

    During the previous period RA reactor was not operated because the Committee of Serbian ministry for health and social care has cancelled the operation licence in August 1984. The reason was the non existing emergency cooling system and lack of appropriate filters in the special ventilation system. The new emergency cooling system and the reconstruction of the existing ventilation system were finished in 1989, the conditions for further reactor operation were fulfilled. In the meantime new licensing regulations adopted in 1988 were not demanding the mentioned conditions for reactors operated at power less than 10MW, RA reactor power being 6.5 MW. But the reactor could not be restarted due to planned renewal of the reactor instrumentation. It is planned to exchange the complete instrumentation by the end of 1991. Training program for the staff operating and maintaining the reactor components was prepared in 1985. Reconstruction, modification and construction of components demanded new documentation needed for further safe reactor operation. New version of RA reactor safety report was finished in 1986 according to the recommendations of IAEA and licensing regulations of Yugoslavia. In 1989, new documents were written covering regulations and instructions for reactor operation. The new reactor experimental loop was designed in 1986, and constructed and tested in 1990. All the reactor components were maintained by specific reactor services. Financing of the reactor remains a permanent problem. [Serbo-Croat] U proteklom periodu reaktor RA nije bio u pogonu zato sto je 30. jula 1984. godine Republicki komitet za zdravlje i socijalnu politiku republike Srbije, zabranio njegov rad zbog toga sto reaktor ne poseduje sistem za udesno hladjenje i ne poseduje odgovarajuce filtere u sistemu specijalne ventilacije. Radovi na izgradnji sistema za udesno hladjenje i rekonstrukciji postojeceg sistema specijalne ventilacije zavrseni su 1989. godine. Uslovi za nastavak rada reaktora

    Fault tree analysis of the maximum hypothetical accident covers the basic elements: accident initiation, phase development phases - scheme of possible accident flow. Cause of the accident initiation is the break of primary cooling pipe, heavy water system. Loss of primary coolant causes loss of pressure in the primary circuit at the coolant input in the reactor vessel. This initiates safety protection system which should automatically shutdown the reactor. Separate chapters are devoted to: after-heat removal, coolant and moderator loss; accident effects on the reactor core, effects in the reactor building, and release of radioactive wastes. [Serbo-Croat] Sema granjanja za maksimalni hipoteticki akcident obuhvata osnovne elemente: pocetak akcidenta, faze razvoja akcidenta i stablo razvoja - sema potencijalnih akcidentnih tokova. Uzrok pocetka akcidenta je pucanje cevovoda primarnog rashladnog sistema jezgra, sistema teske vode. Gubitak primarnog hladioca izaziva pad pritiska u primarnom sistemu hladjenja na ulazu u reaktorski sud. Ovaj poremecaj pobudjuje sigurnosno kolo zastite koje automatski treba da prekine rad reaktora. Posebno je razmatrano generisanje zaostale snage, isticanje hladioca i moderatora, efekti akcidenta na jezgro, efekti u zgradi reaktora, oslobadjanje radioaktivnih produkata.

    In order to enable future reliable operation of the RA reactor, according to new licensing regulations, three major tasks started in 1984 were fulfilled: building of the new emergency system, reconstruction of the existing ventilation system, and reconstruction of the power supply system. Simultaneously in 1985/1986 renewal of the instrumentation and reconstruction of the system for handling and storage of the spent fuel in the reactor building have started. Design projects for these tasks are almost finished and the reconstruction of both systems is expected to be finished until 1988 and mid 1989 respectively. RA reactor Safety report was finished according to the recommendations of the IAEA. Investments in 1986 were used for 8000 kg of heavy water, maintenance of reactor systems and supply of new components, reconstruction of reactor systems. This report includes 8 annexes concerning reactor operation, activities of services and financial issues. [Serbo-Croat] Sa ciljem da se obezbedi pouzdan rad reaktora RA a u skladu sa zakonskim propisima, zavrsena su tri velika zahvata zapoceta 1984: izgradnja novog sistema za udesno hladjenje, rekonstrukcija postojeceg sistema za ventilaciju, i modernizacija reaktorske instrumentacije. Istovremeno tokom 1985/1986. zapoceta je modernizacija instrumentacije i rekonstrukcija sistema za rukovanje i skladistenje iskoriscenog goriva u zgradi reaktora. Projekti za navedene radove su vec zavrseni ili su u zavrsnoj fazi, a ocekuje se da ce rekonstrukcija oba sistema biti zavrsena do kraja 1988. odnosno sredine 1989. godine. Izrada izvestaja o sigurnosti reaktora RA, prema preporukama MAAE zavrsena je 1986. Investiciona ulaganja na reaktoru Ra u 1986. iskoriscena su za: nabavku 8000 kg teske vode, za investiciono odrzavanje reaktorskih sistema i nabavku opreme, za rekonstrukciju reaktorskih sistema.

    This paper describes experimental study of space-time behaviour of nuclear reactors by local complex-periodic perturbation of the absorption cross section and by measuring the local reactor response to this perturbation. Perturbation was done by BOR-1 fast oscillator. Cross correlation between the response and the perturbation was done numerically after completing the measurement by using digital computer. Obtained experimental results are preliminary and are measured with significant errors which were analysed in this paper. Results show qualitative agreement with those obtained by theoretical model. This paper is the first progress report in this field in our country. U radu je opisan eksperimentalni prilaz proucavanju prostorno-vremenskog ponasanja nuklearnih reaktora, vrseci lokalnu slozeno-periodicnu perturbaciju apsorpcionog preseka i mereci lokalni odziv reaktora na tu perturbaciju. Perturbacija je vrsena brzim oscilatorom BOR-1. Kroskorelacija izmedju odziva i perturbacije vrsena je numericki posle obavljenog merenja upotrebom digitalne racunske masine. Dobijeni eksperimentalni rezultati imaju preliminarni karakter i odredjeni su sa znatnim eksperimentalnim greskama koje su, u radu analizirane. Izlozeni rezultati pokazuju kvalitativna slaganja sa teorijski dobijenim modelom. Ovaj rad predstavlja prvi izvestaj o napredovanju na ovoj problematici kod nas (author)

    biggest difficulty was maintenance of reactor instrumentation. During 1981 the reactor was operated safely, there was no accident nor incident that would affect the safety of reactor personnel or the environment. The testing operation will be continued in 1982,and the experience so far shows that the program would be successfully fulfilled on the whole. [Serbo-Croat] Nuklearni reaktor RA prestao je sa radom nakon martovske kampanje 1979. godine usled pojave talozenja oksihidrata aluminijuma na kosuljicama gorivnih elemenata. Odgovarajucim resenjima Sanitarnog inspektorata Republickog sekretarijata za zdravje i socijalnu politiku SR Srbije i generalnog direktora Instituta za nuklearne nauke 'Boris Kidric', Vinca zabranjen je dalji rad reaktora sve dok se ne utvrde uzroci stvaranja oksihidrata aluminijuma i njihovog talozenja, preduzmu mere za njihovo uklanjanje i ne obezbede potrebni uslovi za normalan nastavak rada reaktora. Do kraja 1979. i tokom 1980. godine, nakon niza izvrsenih analiza i utvrdjivanja uzroka koji su doveli do zaustavljanja rada reaktora, izvrsene su sve neophodne pripreme za ponovno pustanje reaktora u rad. Polazeci od cinjenice da na reaktoru RA ne postoji sistem za hladjenje jezgra u slucaju udesa i da ne postoji adekvatan sistem za filtriranje potencijalno zagadjenog vazduha, a saglasno sa novim propisima o pustanju u rad i probnom radu nuklearnih objekata, Sanitarni inspektorat je doneo privremeno resenje kojim se dozvoljava pustanje reaktora u rad, tj. izvodjenje tzv. 'nultog eksperimenta' uz ogranicenje snage na 1% od vrednosti nominalne snage. Na osnovu dobijene dozvole, reaktor RA je ponovo pusten u rad 21. januara 1981. godine, kada je dostignuta kriticnost sa jezgrom sastavljenim iskljucivo od gorivnih elemenata od 80% obogacenog uranijuma. Eksperiment je zavrsen krajem marta, nakon cega je zatrazena dozvola za probni rad na vecim snagama i potom za rad na punoj snazi. Uzimajuci postojece stanje reaktora RA doneto je resenje kojim se

    Technology service is established according to the need of unified technology control of the reactor, based on the organizational structure developed in USA, a part of which was applied at the Krsko NPP. Tasks of this service are: regular control and recording of operating reactor parameters under steady state and accidental conditions; control of chemical state of the reactor core (control of Ph values and electro conductivity of the heavy water and technical water); dosimetry parameters control and recording; safety and optimisation analyses when planning reactor core modifications; (changing the type of fuel, design of new components); cooperation with the reactor users during isotope production, activation analyses, application of neutron beams; participating in research programs; planning refueling. The most important task performed by this service was conversion of the core from 2% to 80% enriched fuel elements. A methodology for optimizing the reactor application was developed. Operation of the heavy water purification system, heavy water parameters, and operation of the gas system were controlled. Radiation and contamination levels in the working environment were measured, individual and collective doses.

Na reaktoru RA uspesno su izvrseni eksperimentalni i teorijski radovi u oblasti sigurnosnih analiza za prevodjenje reaktora RA na novo 80% obogaceno gorivo, krunisani eksperimentalnom kampanjom reaktora RA u decembru 1976, kojom se zavrsava 17-to godisnji period koriscenja 2% obogacenog goriva i otpocinje period koriscenja novog 80% obogacenog goriva u reaktoru RA. Ovaj uspeh je od izuzetnog znacaja za reaktor RA i njegove korisnike, jer ce rezultovati u povecanju osnovne proizvodnje neutronskog fluksa od 50%, pri porastu cene kostanja rada reaktora od oko 4%. Podnet je zahtev za konacno odobrenje prelaznog rezima za uvodjenje ovog goriva, kojim se postize usteda od najmanje 2 200 000 dinara. Ovim se obezbedjuje da u 1977. godini i dalje, rad reaktora ne bude vise ometan ''kriticnim'' ili drugim eksperimentima u vezi sa uvodjenjem novog goriva u reaktor. Izvrsen je obiman program remontnih i drugih radova veoma akutne prirode, koji takodje omogucuju nesmetan rad u 1977. godini. Neki od ovih radova nisu radjeni nikad ranije, a drugi nisu radjeni u proteklih 6 godina. Najzacajniji zahvati ove vrste bili su: nabavka Al-cevi od specijalne legure, izrada i montiranje tehnoloskoh kanala; obimno ispitivanje uzroka curenja spoljasnjeg suda; remont teskovodne pumpe; zamena dva vertikalna tehnoloska kanala.

    During 1980. the RA reactor was not in operation. That is why this period was devoted to definition of operating conditions for further reactor operation with 80% enriched fuel. The fuel elements which were in the core at the moment of shutdown in March 1979will not be used again (388 80% enriched fuel elements, and 511 2% enriched fuel elements). The reactor will be operated only with 80% enriched fuel, staring with initiat core configuration with 440 elements on the borders gradually changing to equi;librium core with 720 fuel elements. The analyses were concerned with safety issues of future operation. [Serbo-Croat] Reaktor RA tokom 1980 godine nije radio. Zbog toga je ovaj period iskoriscen za intenzivan rad na definisanju pogonskih uslova za dalji rad reaktora sa 80% obogacenim gorivom. Gorivo sa kojim je reaktor prestao da radi marta 1979. godine (388 gorivnih elemenata 80% obogacenoh i 511 elementa 2% obogaceno) nece biti vraceno u jezgro, vec ce reaktor raditi samo sa 80% obogacenim gorivom, pocev od konfiguracije sa 440 elemenata na periferiji do ravnotezne konfiguracije sa 720 elemenata. Sve nalize su se bavile sigurnosnim aspektima rada reaktora sa visokoobogacenim gorivom u jezgru.

    usmerene su na prelazni rezim na bazi parcijalnog uvodjenja novog goriva u reaktor, tj. na reaktorsko jezgro sa dve vrste goriva. Cilj ovih analiza i priprema jeste obezbedjivanje svih uslova za siguran rad reaktora RA u prelaznom rezimu. Ove analize i pripreme su uglavnom kompletirane. Medjutim, nedostaje jos eksperimentalni podatak o utrosku goriva za odredjeni rad reaktora na nominalnoj snazi tj. o dnevnom padu ugradjenog viska reaktivnosti. Ovaj podatak neophodan je kod planiranja izmena goriva (kolicine svezeg goriva i ucestanosti izmena) u prelaznom rezimu. Do ovog podatka moze se doci samo putem normalnog rada reaktora u toku vremena znatno duzeg od vremena u kome se uspostavlja ravnotezno zatrovanje, kao vremena izmedju dva prelivanja D{sub 2}O kondenzata u aktivnu zonu RA. U tom smislu je planirana desetodnevna eksperimentalna kampanja u decembru 1976. U ovom izvestaju izlozeni su oni najznacajniji rezultati sigurnosnih analiza i priprema koji ukazuju na potpunu sigurnost rada reaktora tokom ove eksperimentalne kampanje, sa aspekta postovanja ogranicenja najvaznijih parametara koji uticu na sigurnost reaktora, kao sto su reaktivnost, toplotna i temperaturska ogranicenja za gorivo i za reaktor, itd. Podaci koji budu dobijeni iz ove eksperimentalne kampanje su od znacaja jer ce se na osnovu njih konacno definisati dalji protok svezeg novog goriva, tokom prelaznog rezima (author)

    During 1974, RA reactor was operated at nominal power for 194 days and 13 days at lower power levels. The total production was 30711 MWh which is 2.4% higher than planned. Practically there were no discrepancies from the plan. The reactor was used for irradiation and experiments according to the demand of 437 users. This report contains detailed data about reactor power and experiments performed in 1974. Total number of afety shutdowns was 11, of which 8 were caused by power cuts, and 3 due to human error. Maximum individual personnel exposure dose was 50% of the maximum permissible dose. There were no accidents during this year. Decontamination of surfaces was less than during previous years. About 805 m{sup 2} of surfaces and 178 objects were decontaminated. It was concluded that the successful operation in 1974 has a special significance taking into account the financial problems. [Serbo-Croat] Reaktor RA je u 1974. godini radio na nominalnoj snazi 194 dana i 13 dana na manjim snagama. Ukupni rad iznosio je 30711 MWh odnosno 1,4% vise od planiranog. Prakticno nije bilo odstupanja od plana rada. Reaktor je koriscen za ozracivanja i eksperimente za 437 korisnika. Ovaj izvestaj sadrzi detaljne podatke o radu i eksperimentima koji su obavljani. U toku godine bilo je 11 sigurnosnih zaustavljanja, od cega 8 zbog elektricnog napona i 3 usled greske osoblja. Ukupna doza ozracivanja ljudstva bila je manja nego prethodnih godina. Maksimalna doza po oveku bila je 50% manja od maksimalno dozvoljene doze. Nije bilo ni jednog akcidenta. Dekontaminirano je znatno manje povrsina nego ranijih godina, i sakupljeno manje otpada nego prethodnih godina, dok tecnih efluenata nije bilo. Zakljuceno je da uspesan rad reaktora u 1974. godini ima poseban znacaj kada se imaju na umu problemi finansiranja reaktora.

    Zirconiumphosphate, zirconiumoxide and natural magnetite as inorganic substances with favourable adsorption properties were the subject of investigations dealing with problems of water purification for nuclear rector cooling. Study on adsorption of impurities form reactor water to 300 deg C and 100 Atm was done by specially constructed autoclaves. On the other hand, a pre-project covering a laboratory plant for investigation of inorganic ion exchangers under real dynamic conditions is given. In order to obtain necessary data on the basis of which techno-economical analyses regarding utilization of zirconiumphosphate, zirconiumoxide and magnetite for water purification is cooling the reactors types BWR and PWR, could be performed, systematic investigations of physical and chemical properties of these substances were commenced. Equilibrium constants have been determined for adsorption processes at different pH values, as well as under various temperatures. Obtained equilibrium constants were used for calculation of thermodynamic quantities {delta}H, {delta}G and {delta}S (author) [Serbo-Croat] Cirkonijumfosfat, cirkonijumoksid i prirodni magnet, kao neorganski materijali sa pogodnim adsorpcionim osobinama, bili su predmet istrazivanja vezanih za probleme preciscavanja vode za hladjenje nuklearnih reaktora.

  15. Maximum neutron flux at thermal nuclear reactors; Maksimum neutronskog fluksa kod termalnih reaktora

    Since actual research reactors are technically complicated and expensive facilities it is important to achieve savings by appropriate reactor lattice configurations. There is a number of papers, and practical examples of reactors with central reflector, dealing with spatial distribution of fuel elements which would result in higher neutron flux. Common disadvantage of all the solutions is that the choice of best solution is done starting from the anticipated spatial distributions of fuel elements. The weakness of these approaches is lack of defined optimization criteria. Direct approach is defined as follows: determine the spatial distribution of fuel concentration starting from the condition of maximum neutron flux by fulfilling the thermal constraints. Thus the problem of determining the maximum neutron flux is solving a variational problem which is beyond the possibilities of classical variational calculation. This variational problem has been successfully solved by applying the maximum principle of Pontrjagin. Optimum distribution of fuel concentration was obtained in explicit analytical form. Thus, spatial distribution of the neutron flux and critical dimensions of quite complex reactor system are calculated in a relatively simple way. In addition to the fact that the results are innovative this approach is interesting because of the optimization procedure itself. [Serbo-Croat] Savremeni reaktori za fizicka i tehnoloska istrazivanja predstavljaju tehnicki komplikovanu i skupu masinu. Iz tog razloga su opravdana nastojanja da se podesnim rasporedom goriva u jezgru reaktora dodje do sto ekonomicnijeg rjesenja. U literaturi postoji vise radova, cak i konkretnih realizacija u vidu reaktora sa reflektorom u centru, koji se bave odredjivanjem takve prostorne zavisnosti koncentracije goriva koja pod odredjenim uslovima daje najveci neutronski fluks. Zajednicki nedostatak svih pomenutih rjesenja je u tome sto se polazi od pretpostavljenih prostornih distribucija

    It was concluded that reactor the reactor operation is very dangerous for the reactor installation as well as safety of the staff under conditions of heavy water increased activity. Two fundamental arguments in favour of this conclusion are: insufficient possibility of reactor components inspection during maintenance and operation in the future period; difficulties in prevention of accidents that could occur is equally dangerous for the reactor facility and the environment. Cleaning and decontamination of the complete heavy water system is needed before the reactor operation starts in order to avoid possible failures or accidental events. [Serbo-Croat] Zakljuceno je da je eksploatacija reakora u uslovima postojece aktivnosti teskovodnog sistema veoma opasna po sam reaktor i po personal. Dva osnovna razloga u prilog ovog zakljucka su: nedovoljna mogucnost kontrole ispravnosti svih elemenata reaktora u toku remonta i ekspolatacije u predstojecem periodu; teskoca borbe sa udesima, koji bi se eventualno dogodili podjednako je opasna po instalaciju i okolinu. Pre no sto se nastavi sa daljom ekspolatacijom reaktora potrebno ciscenje, dekontaminacija sistema teske vode kako bi se izbegla moguca ostecenja ili akcidentalne situacije.

    Full Text Available W pracy przedstawiono efekty oczyszczania małych ilości ścieków w bioreaktorach porcjowych. Przebadano dwa równolegle pracujące reaktory, z czego jeden był klasycznym systemem SBR, a drugi to reaktor SBBR ze złożem ruchomym. Obydwa ciągi technologiczne oczyszczały taką samą ilość ścieków bytowych wstępnie podczyszczonych w piaskowniku. Trzy kolejne serie badań różniły się długością napowietrzania. Porównano pracę reaktorów w kolejnych seriach oraz analizowano wyniki uzyskane w obu systemach. Największą skuteczność usuwania związków węgla organicznego (jako ChZT i azotu (jako N-NH4 uzyskano w reaktorze SBBR w trzeciej serii badań (średnio odpowiednio 90 i 62%. Reaktor SBBR pracował bardziej stabilnie oraz usuwał na drodze biologicznej fosfor z największą średnią skutecznością 83% w serii trzeciej. Ścieki oczyszczone w tym reaktorze charakteryzowały się mniejszym stężeniem zawiesiny, co świadczy o skuteczniejszej pracy reaktora z wypełnieniem w fazie sedymentacji.

    Certain amount of solid waste results from RA reactor operation, the mean quantity of which depends on the duration of reactor operation and related activities. During repair, when reactor is not operated as well under accidental conditions, the quantity of waste is higher, dependent on the type of repair and comprehensiveness of decontamination of the working surface, contaminated tools and components. The waste is sorted and packed on the spot where they appeared according to the existing regulations and principles of radiation protection with aim to minimize unnecessary exposure of the radiation protection personnel who deals with control, transport, radioactive waste treatment and decontamination. During exceptional operations (decontamination, repair, bigger volume of contaminated material, etc.) professional staff of the Radiation protection department gives recommendations and helps in planning the actions related to repair, sorting and packaging of radioactive waste in special containers, identification of the contaminants, etc. [Serbo-Croat] Tokom rada reaktora RA dolazi do stvaranja odredjenih cvrstih otpadnih materijala cija prosecna kolicina zavisi od vremena rada reaktora i aktivnosti koje se tamo obavljaju.

    After regular shutdown in November 1982, inspection of the fuel elements from the RA reactor core which was done from December 1982 - February 1983 has shown that there are deposits of aluminium oxides on the surface of the fuel cladding. After restart The RA reactor was operated at power levels from 1.8 - 2 MW, with 80% enriched uranium dioxide fuel elements. It was found that there was no corrosion of the fuel element cladding and that it was not possible to find the cause of surface deposition on the cladding surfaces without further operation. It was decided to purify the heavy water permanently during operation and to increase the heavy water flow by operating two pumps. This procedure was adopted in order to decrease the possibility of corrosion. The Safety committee of the Institute has approved this procedure for operating the RA reactor in 1983. The core was made of 80% enriched fuel, critical experiments were done until June 1983, and after that the operation was continued at power levels up to 2 MW.

Nakon ponovnog pustanja u rad, reaktor je do novembra 1981. godine neprekidno bio u pogonu na snagama 1,8 - 2 MW. Jezgro je bilo formirano iskljucivo sa od gorivnih elemenata sa 80% obogacenim uran dioksidom.

    During 1979 the RA reactor was in operation only three months, i.e. only 24% of the planned activity was achieved. The reactor operation was interrupted in March due to problems that could not be solved by the existing equipment. Alkalinity of the heavy water resulting from the existing ammonia ions could not be removed by the existing distillation system. In addition deposition of aluminium oxyhydrate on the fuel elements was increased. This was noticed during routine control when the reactor was shutdown for refueling. The decision of the Director general of the Institute and sanitary Inspector followed, prohibiting further reactor operation. A separate chapter of this report is devoted to the analysis of the difficulties and possible solution of the problem in cooperation with the experts from different laboratories of the Institute. Aged and damaged instruments at the reactor were not exchange due to lack of budget. During the operation there were no accidents. [Serbo-Croat] U toku 1979. godine plan rada ostvaren je sa 24%, odnosno reaktor je radio samo prva tri meseca. U martu je doslo do prekida rada reaktora zbog pojave koja se nije mogla otkloniti postojecom opremom. Alkalnost teske vode, posledica prisustva amonijum jona, ne moze se odstraniti sistemom destilacije. Pored toga usled dotrajalosti opreme povecano je talozenje aluminijum oksihidroksida na gorivnim elementima. Ova pojava uocena je tokom rutinske kontrole prilikom izmene goriva a usledila je obustava rada resenjem Direktora i sanitarnog inspektora. Posebno poglavlje ovog izvestaja posveceno je analizi teskoca u radu i reaktora i resavanju nastalih problema sa gorivom u saradnji sa saradnicima drugih laboratorija Instituta. Dotrajali uredjaji i oprema nisu zamenjeni usled nedostatka sredstava. U toku rada nije bilo akcidenata.

Njegova relativno jednostavna konstrukcija i fleksibilnost omogucavaju da se na njemu izvrse direktna merenja niza fizickih parametara, a s druge strane odsustvo bioloskog zastitnog omotaca cini ga veoma pogodnim za razna bioloska i druga ozracivanja, a takodje i dozimetrijska merenja gde se zahteva snazan izvor neutrona.

    pouzdan rad reaktora i skladu sa novim zakonskim propisima, u toku 1991. zavrseni su radovi na izgradnji sistema za udesno hladjenje, rekonstrukciju postojeceg sistema specijalne ventilacije i rekonstrukciji sistema za napajanje elektricnom energijom. Zapoceti su radovi na modernizaciji instrumentacije reaktora ali njegova realizacija u 1991. godini kasni usled zastoja u isporuci opreme iz Sovjetskog saveza. Izradu ove opreme finansira Medjunarodna agencija za atomsku energiju kroz ugovor sklopljen decembra 1988. godine sa moskovskom firmom Atomenergoexport, ali je MAAE privremeno zabranila isporuke opreme Jugoslaviji iz politickih razloga. Kontrola i odrzavanje opreme, kao i potrebni remontni radovi izvrsavani su redovno u zavisnosti od raspolozivosti rezervnih delova. Obuka postojeceg osoblja sprovodi se redovno ali nedostatak sredstava onemogucava prijem novih radnika sto bi bilo neophodno za rad u smenama i redovno odrzavanje.

    Reactor materials as graphite, stainless steel, magnox, zirconium alloys, etc. were exposed to fast neutron flux inside the fuel elements specially adapted for this purpose. Samples in the form ampoules were placed in capsules inside the fuel channels and cooled by heavy water which cools the fuel elements. In order to monitor the samples temperature 42 thermocouples were placed in the samples. That was necessary for reactor safety reasons and for further interpretation of measured results. Temperature monitoring was done continuously by multichannel milivoltmeters. This paper describes the technique of introducing the thermocouples, compensation instruments, control of the cold ends and adaptation of the instruments for precision (0.5%) temperature measurement in the range 30 deg - 130 deg C; 30 deg - 280 deg C and 30 deg - 80 deg C. Ozracivanje uzoraka materijala za izgradnju reaktora kao sto su grafit, nerdjajuci celik, magnox, legure cirkonijuma, aluminijuma itd. vrseno je u fluksu brzih neutrona unutar samih gorivnih elemenata koji su specijalno adaptirani za ovu svrhu. Uzorci u vidu ampula smesteni su u kapsulu od aluminijuma i postavljeni unutar kanala gde su hladjeni cirkulacijom teske vode koja hladi same gorivne elemente. U cilju kontrole temperature uzoraka radi bezbednosti samog reaktora, kao i radi kasnije interpretacije rezultata ispitivanja radijacionog ostecenja materijala, ugradjeno je 42 termopara u uzorke. Kontrola temperature je vrsena kontinualno visekanalnim registratorima. U radu je prikazana tehnika izvodjenja termoparova, kompenzacionih vodova, kontrola hladnih krajeva i prilagodjenje instrumentacije za merenje i registraciju temperature sa tacnoscu 0,5% u opsezima 30 deg - 130 deg C; 30 deg - 280 deg C i 30 deg - 80 deg C (author)

    During the previous period RA reactor was not operated because the Committee of Serbian ministry for health and social care has cancelled the operation licence in August 1984. The reason was the non existing emergency cooling system and lack of appropriate filters in the special ventilation system. The planned major tasks were fulfilled: building of the new emergency cooling system, reconstruction of the existing ventilation system, and renewal of the reactor power supply system. The existing RA reactor instrumentation was dismantled, only the part needed for basic measurements when reactor is not operated, was maintained. Renewal of the reactor instrumentation was started but but it is behind the schedule because the delivery of components from USSR was stopped for political reasons. The spent fuel elements used from the very beginning of reactor operation are stored in the existing pools. Project concerned with increase of the storage space and the efficiency of handling the spent fuel elements has started in 1988 and was fulfilled in 1990. Control and maintenance of the reactor instrumentation and tools was done regularly but dependent on the availability of the spare parts. Training of the existing personnel and was done regularly, but the new staff has no practical training since the reactor is not operated. Lack of financial support influenced strongly the status of RA reactor. [Serbo-Croat] U proteklom periodu reaktor RA nije bio u pogonu zato sto je 30. jula Republicki komitet za zdravlje i socijalnu politiku republike Srbije, zabranio njegov rad zbog toga sto reaktor ne poseduje sistem za udesno hladjenje i ne poseduje odgovarajuce filtere u sistemu specijalne ventilacije. Zavrseni su radovi na izgradnji sistema za udesno hladjenje, rekonstrukciji postojeceg sistema specijalne ventilacije i rekonstrukciji sistema za napajanje elektricnom energijom. Zapoceti su radovi na modernizaciji, odnosno zameni instrumentacije reaktora ali njegova realizacija kasni

    Burnup of low enriched metal uranium fuel of the RA reactor is described by two chain reactions. Energy balance and material changes in the fuel are described by systems of differential equations. Numerical integration of these equations is base on the the reactor operation data. Neutron flux and percent of Uranium-235 or more frequently yield of epithermal neutrons in the neutron flux, is determined by iteration from the measured contents of {sup 106}Ru, {sup 134}Cs and {sup 137}Cs in the irradiated fuel. The computer program was written in FORTRAN-IV. Burnup is calculated by using the measured activities of fission products. Burnup results are absolute values. Sagorevanje maloobogacenog uranskog metalnog goriva reaktora RA je opisano dvema lancanim reakcijama. Energetski bilans i materijalne promene u gorivu su opisane sistemima diferencijalnih jednacina.

    According to the action plan for 1988, operation of the RA reactor should have been restarted in October, but the operating license was not obtained. Control and maintenance of the reactor components was done regularly and efficiently dependent on the availability of the spare parts. The major difficulty was maintenance of the reactor instrumentation. Period of the reactor shutdown was used for repair of the heavy water pumps in the primary coolant loop. With the aim to ensure future safe and reliable reactor operation, action were started concerning renewal of the reactor instrumentation. Design project was done by the soviet company Atomenergoeksport. The contract for constructing this equipment was signed, and it is planned that the equipment will be delivered by the end of 1990. In order to increase the space for storage of the irradiated fuel elements and its more efficient usage, projects were started concerned with reconstruction of the existing fuel handling equipment, increase of the storage space and purification of the water in the fuel storage pools. These projects are scheduled to be finished in mid 1989. This report includes 8 annexes concerning reactor operation, activities of services and financial issues. [Serbo-Croat] Prema planu za 1988. godinu, reaktor RA je trebalo da pusten u rad oktobra meseca, medjutim nije dobio dozvolu za nastavak rada.

    Contrary to previous years the RA reactor operation plan for 1976 is conditioned by more uncertainties than ever for the following reasons. It is planned for February to repair the components in order to eliminate the consequences of leaking from the vertical experimental channel VK-4 which happened in december 1975. Apart from this, measurements related to transfer of the core to highly enriched fuel under minimum power are foreseen to be performed in February. In April, it would be indispensable to locate the point of He gas leaking and its prevention. Core transfer to highly enriched fuel is planned for April for testing of the fuel elements under operating conditions and step by step increase of the power density up to the nominal power. Complete plan for core transfer would be available by the end of February 1976. It is planned to make-up for the mentioned delays from May-December 1976. [Serbo-Croat] Za razliku od prethodnih godina izrada plana rada reaktora RA za 1976. godinu vezana je za mnogo vise neizvesnosti nego ikada ranije iz sledecih razloga. U februaru se vrsi remont opreme i uklanjanja posledica procurivanja vertikalnog eksperimentalog kanala VK-4, koje se dogodilo decembra 1975. Sem toga u februaru se vrse merenja na minimalnim snagama u sklopu priprema za prelazak na novo gorivo. U aprilu ce biti neophodno lociranje mesta gde istice He gas kao i otklanjanje uzroka ovog curenja. Planirano je da se u aprilu ubaci novo gorivo u jezgro u cilju testiranja pod radnim uslovima uz postepeno povecanje snage do nominalne. Planirano je da se smanjeni obim rada usled navedenih uslova nadoknadi u potpunosti u periodu maj-decembar 1976.

    The plan for 1975 was successfully fulfilled. This is reflected in research related to improvement of operating properties of the RA reactor, mostly due to the effort of the RA staff employed in operation and maintenance of the reactor. Fuel saving achieved by this activity amounted to about 38% (80% enriched fuel). Preliminary work is done, concerned with new reactor core with highly enriched fuel. This is a significant saving as well. New fuel elements have arrived at the end of this year. It is going to enable increase of neutron flux by 50% without changing the nominal operating power. The possibility of further improvement of the reactor are analyzed, to enable material testing and production of radioactive sources. Mid term plan for reactor operation was made according to this analysis. It is planned to further increase the neutron flux in isolated smaller zones, and building new experimental loops with cooling and fast neutron converters. Much was done to increase the safety level of reactor operation and preparing the safety report. [Serbo-Croat] Izvrsenje zadataka u 1975. godini bilo je uspesno. To se ogleda u povecanju istrazivackog rada vezanog za poboljsanje eksploatacionih karakteristika reaktora RA, pretezno koriscenjem sopstvenog kadra angazovanog u pogonu i odrzavanju reaktora. Ovim radom postignuta je usteda goriva od oko 38% (80% obogaceno gorivo). Izvrseni su preliminarni radovi na prevodjenju reaktora RA na novo gorivo, sto je takodje velika usteda. Novo gorivo je stiglo krajem godine i ono ce obezbediti porast neutronskog fluksa od 50%, bez promene nominalne snage reaktora. Izvrsena je analiza mogucnosti daljeg usavrsavanja reaktora za potrebe ispitivanja materijala kao i proizvodnju radioaktivnih izvora. Na osnovu ove analize nacinjen je srednjorocni program rada reaktora RA sa tezistem na daljem povecanju fluksa u izdvojenim manjim zonama i ugradnju 'hladjenih petlji' i brzih konvertora. Mnogo je ucinjeno na povecanju stepena sigurnosti

The following are included as well: measured values of radioactive gases and aerosol contents in air; contamination level of surfaces, clothes and uncovered parts of the staff bodies. Analysis of the personnel exposure is presented in the second part of the report. It was stated that the maximum individual external dose was 2.13R, and the exposure dose was 1/5 lower than of the annual dose limit for 90% of the exposed personnel. It was estimated that that the internal contamination is negligible compared to the external contamination. This statement was based on the frequency of tasks in the contaminated zones, undertaken control and protection measures, as well as on the evaluation of the expected internal contamination. Comparative evaluation of the occupational exposures is given for the past five years. This showed that the exposure in 1974 was lower than during previous years. The third part of the report covers the numerical data about the quantity of the collected radioactive waste, total size of contaminated and decontaminated surfaces and number of decontaminated objects. A brief analysis of the accidents occurred during this year under regular reactor operating conditions, maintenance and repair is given at the end. It was stated that there has been no accident that would cause exposure higher than the prescribed limits or any significant contamination of the working space or environment. Maximum individual dose was 1.4 R, and contamination of the uncovered parts of the bodies was about 6 MDNK (maximum permissible contamination level) [Serbo-Croat] U ovom radu prikazani su rezultati sakupljeni u toku godine u okviru dozimetrijske kontrole i tehnicke zastite kod reaktora.

    Control of radioactivity in the biosphere in the vicinity of the RA reactor is part of the radioactivity control done regularly for the whole territory of the Vinca institute (report by the same authors included in this Annex). During 1986 control was conducted according to the plan until May 1, 1986 when a dramatic increase of the precipitations and all other samples from the biosphere was recorded. According to the measured data no significant changes have been found in the surroundings of the RA reactor, until April 29 1986. Since then more detailed control was conducted, the number of samples was increased, apart from standard measuring procedure of total beta activity measurements, gamma spectrometry of all samples was applied. High activity level of the following nuclides was found: Iodine, cerium,cesium, tellurium, ruthenium, barium, lanthanum, etc. As an example activity of ?1?3?1 I in one sample was 564{+-}5 kBq/m{sup 2}. [Serbo-Croat] Kontrola radioaktivnosti biosfere u okolini reaktora RA je deo kontrole radioaktivnosti koja se redovno vrsi za celokupnu teritoriju Instituta Vinca (izvestaj istih autora ukljucen je u ovaj Prilog). Tokom 1986. kontrola je ostvarivana prema planu do 1. maja 1986, kada je registrovano drasticano povecanje aktivnosti padavina i ostalih uzoraka biosfere. Prema rezultatima merenja, nisu registrovana znacajnija odstupanja u okolini reaktora RA sve do 29. aprila 1986. Od tada se vrse detaljnija merenja, broj uzoraka je uvecan, pored standardno primenjivane metode primenom merenja totalne beta aktivnosti uzoraka, svi uzorci su analizirani gama spektrometrijski. Enormno visoka kontaminacija uzoraka posle gamma spektrometrije pokazala je prisustvo aktivacionih i fisionih radionuklida medju kojima su bili: jod, cerijum, cesijum, rutenijum, barium lantan i drugi. Tako je na primer samo aktivnost I-133 iznosila 564{+-}5 kBq/m{sup 2}.

    This paper contains the study of the literature concerned with physical properties of the tritium, problems of detection control of the tritium level in the atmosphere in the vicinity of heavy water reactors. It is stated that a complete and efficient control of tritium activity, from radiation protection point of view can be achieved only by simultaneous triple measurements: direct measurement of tritium in the air by stationary or movable instruments; air sampling and measurement of activity by laboratory instrumentation; and measurement of tritium in the bio-material of the personnel who have inhaled air contaminated with tritium. Laboratory equipment was adapted for tritium detection in air samples. A method for measuring the specific tritium activity was developed and implemented. The tritium level and distribution in the air were measured during exchange of the fuel channel in the RA reactor. The obtained results indicate that tritium could be dangerous for the staff involved. Proucena je literatura u kojoj se tretiraju osnovne fizicke karakteristike tricijuma, kao i problemi detekcije i kontrole u vazduhu kod teskovodnih nuklearnih reaktora. Utvrdjeno je da kompletna i efikasna kontrola aktivnosti tricijuma, sa aspekta zastite od zracenja, moze biti ostvarena samo ako se vrse istovremeno trostruka merenja: merenje aktivnosti tricijuma u vazduhu direktno, prenosnim ili stacioniranim instrumentima; uzimanje uzoraka vazduha i merenje aktivnosti na laboratorijskoj aparaturi; i merenje aktivnosti tricijuma u biomaterijalu osoblja koje je udisalo vazduh kontaminiran tricijumom.

    Independent CO{sub 2} loop was designed for cooling the samples irradiated in the vertical experimental channels in the region of heavy water or in the graphite reflector. It is considered as a significant improvement of the RA reactor experimental possibilities. Six 'heads' are placed in vertical experimental channels and connected in parallel with the outer loop which contains out-of-reactor equipment. It is planned to irradiate samples in the 'heads' of the loop for the needs of Hot laboratory and Laboratory for reactor materials. Heat generated during sample irradiation is removed by CO{sub 2} circulation. This report contains detailed description of the main loop, auxiliary systems, calculation results of anti reactivity and activation of construction materials of the low-temperature CO{sub 2} loop. A separate chapter is devoted to control and regulation of temperature and pressure.

    Dosimetry results collected within radiation protection of the RA reactor during this year are presented. Neutron and gamma radiation data were measured at characteristic control points. Statistical review of the total number of measurement is given as well. The report includes contents of radioactive gasses and aerosols in the air, as well as the contamination data of surfaces, clothes and uncovered body parts of the personnel. Particular accident which occurred during dismantling of the experimental channel containing the capsule with the new fuel element was analysed. This accident occurred at the RA reactor at the beginning of this year. It was found that that the maximum individual external dose was 2.2 R, and that only one individual was exposed to this dose. About 15% of the personnel was exposed to doses between 1 and 2 R, the remaining 85% was exposed to doses less than 1 R. Base on the frequency of activities undertaken in the contaminated regions, safety and control measures and expected internal exposure of the personnel, it was evaluated that the internal exposure could be neglected compared to the external exposure of the personnel.

According to the action plan for 1965 the division for RA reactor maintenance the main activities were: planned maintenance of the reactor components, planned repair of the main components, indispensable repairs during reactor operation, repair during planned shutdown periods and tasks related to improvement of operation components and systems. Quite a significant number of failures was related to electronic equipment resulting from failures of thermometers in the heavy water system due to vibrations of the pumps. A number of spare parts and tools were produced needed for maintenance of reactor components, as well as instruments for control and calibration of reactor measuring devices. [Serbo-Croat] Odelenje odrzavanja reaktora RA organizovano je po grupama, od kojih je svaka odgovorna za odrzavanje pojedinih delova sistema: masinske opreme, elektricne opreme, elektronskih uredjaja. Prema planu rada za 1965. godinu Odelenja za odrzavanje reaktora RA osnovne aktivnosti bile su: planirano odrzavanje komponenti reaktora, planirane popravke osnovnih komponenti, neodlozne popravke tokom eksploatacije i u toku planiranih zaustavljanja kao i usavrsavanje opreme i sistema. Znatan broj kvarova pojavio se na elektronskoj opremi usled kvarova termometara u sistemu teske vode usled vibracija koje izazivaju pumpe. Odredjeni broj delova izradjen je za potrebe odrzavanja komponenti reaktora, kao i instrumenata za kontrolu i kalibraciju mernih uredjaja.

    Good understanding of the nuclear properties of the materials in the reactor core is essential for reactor operation. One of the fundamental properties is the resonance absorption of the fuel, which is directly included in the reactor calculation through resonance escape probability and influences the choice of the materials quality in the core. This paper describes the measurement of resonance absorption integral of the natural uranium as a function of the S/M ratio. Improved experiment planning and analysis of results, as well as improvement of the ROB-1 reactor oscillator device related to the interpretation of results and decrease of reactor drift variations during measurement enabled higher precision of results compared to previous experiments. Poznavanje osobina nuklearnih karakteristika materijala koji ulaze u jezgro nuklearnog reaktora predstavlja bitan faktor u njegovom rezimu rada. Jedna od osnovnih je svakako rezonantna apsorpcija goriva, cija velicina - preko faktora rezonantnog izbegavanja - direktno ulazi u proracun nuklearnih reaktora i utice na izbor kvaliteta materijala koji ga sacinjavaju. U radu se opisuje merenje rezonantnog apsorpcionog integrala prirodnog urana u funkciji odnosa S/M. Bolja postavka eksperimenta i interpretacija rezultata, s jedne strane, i poboljsanje uredjaja reaktorskog oscilatora ROB-1 /1/ u pogledu analize podataka i smanjenja promene drifta reaktora u toku merenja, s druge strane, daju znacaj ovom radu u pogledu dobijanja preciznijih rezultata u odnosu na ranije /2/ (author)

Inspections, repairs and reconstructions well as operating characteristics of individual elements as well as complete electronic circuits during 1965 have shown da the systems of control and safety are still in good condition. Somewhat higher number of failures due to aging of electronic tubes is a regular consequence of equipment and instrumentation aging.

    The objective of this task was to determine the thermal neutron flux in the RA reactor cell with VISA-2 samples, the influence of VISA-2 samples on the thermal neutron flux distribution in the vicinity of VK-5 channel and the antireactivity of VISA-2 samples placed in the RA reactor core. This distribution is needed for calculating the mean value of absorption and thermal efficiency factor in the reactor cell with the sample. Thermal neutron flux distribution without the sample was calculated by diffusion theory. Fast neutron flux space distribution was assumed to be constant, i.e. that it is dependent only on the nuclear properties of the materials. Macroscopic thermal neutron flux distribution was determined by two-group diffusion theory using the four factor formula applied for two regions: active RA region, and reactor region with calls containing VISA-2 samples. This calculation enables estimation of the VISA-2 samples influence on the thermal neutron flux distribution in the VK-5 channel. Antireactivity of VISA-2 samples was calculated by neutron diffusion theory applying the perturbation method. [Serbo-Croat] Cilj ovog zadatka je da se odredi raspodela fluksa termalnih neutrona u celiji reaktora RA sa uzorcima VISA-2, uticaj uzoraka VISA-2 na makroskopsku raspodelu termalnih neutrona u blizini uzoraka, tj. u kanalu VK-5, kao i antiraktivnost uzoraka VISA-2 ubacenih u jezgro RA. Poznavanje ove raspodele potrebno je za izracunavanje srednje apsorpcije i faktora termalnog iskoriscenja u celiji reaktora sa uzorkom. Raspodela fluksa termalnih neutrona u celiji RA bez uzorka izracunata je na bazi difuzione teorije. Fluks brzih neutrona uzet je kao konstanta s obzirom na prostorne koordinate, tj. da zavisi samo od nuklearnih karakteristika materijala. Makroskopska raspodela fluksa termalnih neutrona u okolini VISA-2 odredjena je na bazi dvogrupne difuzione teorije preko formule cetiri faktora, primenjene na dve zone: prva aktivna zona RA, i druga reaktorka sredina

    In 1962, the RA reactor was operated almost three times more than in 1961, producing total of 25 555 MWh. Diagram containing comparative data about reactor operation for 1960, 1961, and 1962, percent of fuel used and U-235 burnup shows increase in reactor operation. Number of samples irradiated was 659, number of experiments done was 16. mean powered level was 5.93 MW. Fuel was added into the core twice during the reporting year. In fact the core was increased from 56 to 68 fuel channels and later to 84 fuel channels. Fuel was added to the core when the reactivity worth decreased to the minimum operation level due to burnup. In addition to this 5 central fuel channels were exchanged with fresh fuel in february for the purpose of irradiation in the VISA-2 channel.

    Expression for spherical harmonic moments were applied. They were obtained by spherical harmonics expansion of monoenergetic transport equation. This report presents the procedure for calculating the neutron flux distribution in the nine-zone reactor cell of the RA reactor in Vinca. The procedure was modelled for digital computer ZUSE Z-23 by expansion of the diagram of the automated P{sub 3} code, which is adequate for P{sub n} code with minor changes. The needed subroutines were developed. The most important ones were those for modified first and second order Bessel functions of n-th order. Computer Z-23 was operating only 15 hours during three months, and thus only the subroutines for modified Bessel functions could be tested and the obtained results were excellent. For the mentioned reason the neutron flux distribution will be calculated in the forthcoming period. Koriscen je izraz za svernoharmonicne momente koji se dobija razvijanjem monoenergetske transportne jednacine u sverne harmonike. Dat je postupak za odredjivanje raspodele neutronskog fluksa u devet medijalnoj celiji reaktora RA u Vinci. Gornji postupak je logicki organizovan na digitalnoj masini ZUSE Z-23 razvijanjem tekuceg dijagrama automatskog P{sub 3} koda, koji sa malim izmenama odgovara Pn kodu. Razvijene su potrebne osnovne subrutine, medju kojima su najznacajnije one za modificirane Beselove funkcije prve i druge vrste n - tog reda. Masina ZUSE Z-23 bila je u radu svega 15 zasova u toku tri meseca, te sam stigao da testiram samo subrutine za modificirane Beselove funkcije koje su dale odlicne rezultate. Iz ovoga razloga nije se mogla dobiti trazena raspodela fluksa. To ce biti ucinjeno u narednom periodu posto cemo moci koristiti masinu Z-23 (author)

    RA reactor was not operated during 1993 because of the complete instrumentation exchange. Although it has been planned to exchange the complete instrumentation until the end of 1993, and to start reactor operation in the first half of 1993 this was not fulfilled because the instrumentation was not delivered until the end of 1993. Main activities during past seven years were related to construction of the emergency cooling system; repair and reconstruction of the system for handling the spent fuel and improvement of spent fuel storage conditions; exchange of the aged instrumentation. Other reactor components and systems, reactor core, primary coolant loop and gas circulation system are in good condition concerning future start-up. [Serbo-Croat] U 1993. godini reaktor nije bio u pogonu zbog zamene njegove celokupne instrumentacije. Iako je bilo planirano da se celokupna instrumentacija zameni do kraja 1993. te da reaktor pocne sa radom u prvoj polovini 1993. Ovo nije ispunjeno jer celokupna oprema nije isporucena ni do kraja 1993. godine. Osnovni zahvati koji su u proteklih sedma godina izvrseni, odnosili su se na izgradnju sistema za udesno hladjenje, rekonstrukciju sistema za rukovanje ozracenim gorivom i poboljsanje uslova za stokiranje ovog goriva, zamenu instrumentacije. Ostali sistemi reaktora, reaktorsko jezgro, primarno kolo hladjenja i sistem za cirkulaciju gasa su u dobrom stanju i mogu se nesmetano koristiti u buducem radu.

    The possibility of increasing the neutron flux in the RA reactor was considered for a number of years. The possibilities of reactor reconstruction are not realistic and they should be disregarded. The possibility that remains is to achieve higher neutron flux by improving the fueling scheme and above all by introducing highly enriched fuel into the reactor core. Decision to purchase highly enriched fuel was quicker due to the fact that the 2% enriched uranium fuel is not fabricated any more. There are two procedures for exchanging the fuel in the reactor core: a) removal of partially spent 2% enriched fuel and formation of the core with fresh highly enriched fuel; b) gradually introducing the new fuel into the existing RA reactor core according to a special transfer regime. This report includes some comparative analyses of these two procedures from both economic point of view and the needs of users, as well as some technical conditions. These results are in favour of gradual introducing of new fuel into the reactor core. relevant direct savings amount to 3 000 000 dinars. Some of the most important advantages cannot be estimated in this way. This report does not cover the safety analyses results which are presented in a series of other papers. [Serbo-Croat] Vec vise godina razmatra se mogucnost za povecanje neutronskog fluksa u reaktoru RA. Mogucnosti za rekonstrukciju reaktora RA u tom smislu su minimalne i realno ih treba odbaciti. Prema tome preostaje da se povecanje neutronskog fluksa postigne usavrsavanjem seme izmene goriva, a pre svega uvodjenjem goriva sa visokim stepenom obogacenja u reaktor RA. Donosenje odluke o nabavci visokoobogacenog goriva i njegovom uvodjenju u reaktor ubrzano je i cinjenicom da se staro 2% obogaceno uransko gorivo vise ne proizvodi. Postoje dva postupka za prevodjenje reaktora na ovo gorivo: a) Uklanjanjem poluistrosenog 2% obogacenog goriva iz reaktora i formiranjem jezgra iskljucivo od svezeg visokoobogacenog goriva, b

    During 1972, the total production was 31151 MWh which is 3.8% higher than planned. The reactor was used for irradiation and experiments according to the demand of 381 users, of which 340 from the Institute and 41 external users. This report contains detailed data about reactor power and experiments performed in 1972. Discrepancies from the action plan, meaning higher production was achieved due to special demands of the users. Total number of interruptions was lower than during all the previous years, and were caused mainly due to announced power cuts. There was only on scram shutdown during this year caused by a false signal of the reactor control instrumentation. There were no longer interruptions. One shorter interruption (shorter than 24 hours) caused by removal of a UO{sub 2} capsule from the core, placed there for measuring heat transfer. Total personnel exposure dose was lower than during previous years. One accident caused contamination with gases and aerosols containing mainly shot-living isotopes. Decontamination od surfaces was less than during previous years. Practically there was no surface contamination that would demand action of the decontamination team, except for the regular decontamination after refueling. It was concluded that the successful operation in 1972 has a special significance having taking in account the financial crisis caused by the unresolved status of the reactor. It is emphasised, in the plan for the next year that there is an urgent need of making a long-term plan of rector application. It is indispensable to finish preparatory tasks for replacing the fuel with the highly enriched fuel elements by 1974, and building the core emergency cooling system.

    During the reporting period the reactor was permanently ready for operation and responding to the demands of the experimenters. The reactor was operating for 408.5 hours at power levels from 50 - 5000 kW, or 1985 MWh in total, burnup of the first batch of fuel was 22.55%. Reactor core was made of 56 fuel channels. Activities related to construction of new and improvement of the existing equipment was continued in order to enable safe operation and successful utilization of the RA reactor. Exchange of the electronic tubes was continued in order to increase the stability of the reactor control and reactor protection systems. About 65% of tubes planned to be exchanged this year was done. Cooperation with the CEN Saclay, France related to construction of experimental loops VISA-1 and VISA-2 was continued as well as cooperation with Poland concerned with exchange of experts. The problem of lack of properly trained staff was nor solved. [Serbo-Croat] U izvestajnom periodu reaktor je uvek bio spreman za rad i odgovarao je zahtevima eksperimentatora.

Radi bezbednijeg pogona i sto uspesnije eksploatacije reaktora RA nastavljeno je sa radovima na realizaciji novih i poboljsanju postojecih uredjaja. U cilju povecanja stabilnosti elektronskih instrumenta u sistemu upravljanja i zastiti reaktora nastavljeno je sa zamenom elektronskih cevi, do sada je zamenjeno oko 65% radova predvidjenih za ovu godinu. Nastavljena je saradnja sa nuklearnim centrom u Saclay, Francuska na izradi petlje VISA-1 i VISA-2 i saradnja sa Poljskom u razmeni strucnjaka. Problem nedostatka kadrova nije resen.

    This annex covers: description of the organisational structure of the service, safeguard activities, increase of reactor operation capability, dosimetry and radiation protection tasks and an overview of the the activities of this Service. During 1992, there have been 12 safeguard IAEA inspections. Each time inspection covered fresh fuel, every third inspection included control of the spent fuel storage pool, and once during the fuel inventory control the reactor core was included. With the aim of increasing the operating capabilities besides improvement of experimental devices, construction of the experimental loop with separate cooling system was started. It is planned, as well to improve operating capabilities of horizontal experimental channels by purchasing neutron diffractometer, constructing three-crystal neutron spectrometer, application of three-crystal neutron spectrometer from Krakow, and using the time-of flight spectrometer constructed in the Institute. This Annex describes the possible activities for neutron radiography and isotope production, and includes radiation protection data.

Tokom 1992. bilo je 12 'safeguard' IAEA inspekcija. Tokom svake inspekcije kontrolisano je sveze gorivo, svaka treca je ukljucila kontrolu bazena za odlezavanje ozracenog goriva, a jednom je kontrolisano i jezgro reaktora RA. Sa ciljem da se poboljsaju operativne mogucnosti reaktora, pored poboljsanja eksperimentalnih uredjaja, pocela je i izgradnja reaktorske petlje sa sopstvenim hladjenjem.

    Activities related to revitalisation of the RA reactor stared in 1986, were continued in 1991. A number of interventions on the reactor components were finished that are supposed to enable continuous and reliable operation. The last, and at the same time largest action, related to exchange of complete reactor instrumentation is underway, but it is behind the schedule in 1991 because the delivery of components from USSR is late. Production of this instruments is financed by the IAEA according to the contract signed in December 1988 with Russian Atomenergoexport. According to this contract, it has been planned that the RA reactor instrumentation should be delivered to the Vinca Institute by the end of 1990. Only 56% of the instrumentation was delivered until September 1991. Since then any delivery of components to Yugoslavia was stopped because of the temporary embargo imposed by the IAEA. In 1991 most of the existing RA reactor instrumentation was dismantled, only the part needed for basic measurements when reactor is not operated, was maintained. Construction of some support elements is almost finished by the local staff. The Institute has undertaken this activity in order to speed up the ending of the project. If all the planned instrumentation would not arrive until the end of March 1992, it would not be possible to start the RA reactor testing operation in the first part of 1993, as previously planned. In 1991, 53 staff members took part in the activities during 1991, which is considered sufficient for maintenance and repair conditions.

    Reactivity of a reactor depends on production, absorption and leaking of neutrons. Change of absorption causes reactivity change, and this fact is used for determining the neutron absorption cross section for the sample inserted in the reactor core. Method for determining the absorption cross section based on reactivity change is called method of safety coefficient. Measurements of neutron absorption cross section for graphite was done in the RA reactor vertical experimental channel VK-5. taking into account the results obtained for five types of graphite this method is considered to be reliable for use. Comparison of nuclear properties of different types of graphite was done as well. Reaktivnost reaktora zavisi od proizvodnje neutrona, apsorpcije i isticanja neutrona. Promena apsorpcije izaziva promene reaktivnosti reaktora pa se ova osobina koristi za odedjivanje neutronskog apsorpcionog preseka uzorka koji se unosi u reaktor. Metoda merenja apsorpcionog preseka na bazi promene reaktivnosti nazvana je metodom koeficijenta opasnosti. Merenje apsorpcionog preseka grafita uradjeno je na reaktoru RA u vertikalnom eksperimentalnom kanalu VK-5. S obzirom na rezultate koji su dobijeni za pet vrsta grafita moze se smatrati da je opravdano koriscenje ove metode. Izvrseno je i poredjenje nuklearnih osobina pomenutih tipova grafita.

Okoncan je niz zahvata na opremi postrojenja kojima ce se u narednom periodu omoguciti kontinualan i pouzdan rad ovog reaktora. Poslednji, i ujedno najveci zahvat, koji se odnosi na zamenu celokupne instrumentacije kasni zbog zastoja u isporuci opreme koja se izradjuje u Sovjetskom savezu. Izradu ove opreme finansira Medjunarodna agencija za atomsku energiju kroz ugovor sklopljen decembra 1988. godine sa moskovskom

    effects. In the introduction of this report it has been emphasised that the decision makers should have in mind the negative effects of low budget on the reactor safe and reliable operation. For the sake of reactor, decision about the future operation and financing should be done as soon as possible, either to cease operation or continue with adequate financial support. [Serbo-Croat] Reaktor RA je u 1971. godini radio na nominalnoj snazi 190 dana i 50 dana na manjim snagama. Ukupni rad iznosio je 31606 MWh odnosno 5,3% vise od planiranog, sto je najvisa vrednost od kako je reaktor pusten u rad. Reaktor je koriscen za ozracivanja i eksperimente za 425 korisnika od cega 370 iz Instituta i 55 za korisnika izvan Instituta. Ovaj izvestaj sadrzi detaljne podatke o radu i eksperimentima koji su obavljani. Odstupanja od plana, odnosno veceg ostvarenog rada bilo je u junu i decembru usled posebnih zahteva korisnika. Ukupni broj prekida rada bio je manji od svih prethodnih godina, uglavnom zbog manjeg broja nestanka napona u vreme rada reaktora. U toku godine bilo je samo jedno sigurnosno zaustavljanje, ciji je uzrok bila pojava laznog signala opreme za zastitu reaktora. Nijednog duzeg prekida rada nije bilo zbog neispravnosti opreme. Kracih prekida bilo je usled kidanja spojki na potisnom cevovodu tehnicke vode, sto je bilo izazvano klizanjem zemljista u podrucju crpne stanice na Dunavu. Ukupna doza ozracivanja ljudstva bila je manja nego prethodnih godina. Nije bilo ni jednog akcidenta niti slucaja koji bi se mogao nazvati akcidentom. Dekontaminirano je znatno manje povrsina nego ranijih godina. Zakljuceno je da je uspesan rad reaktora u 1971. godini rezultat valjanog rada u prethodnim godinama. Medjutim usled jos nedefinisane politike u pogledu buduceg rada, odnosno neizvesnosti u vezi finansiranja, neki poslovi su obustavljeni. Tu spada proucavanje mogucnosti prelaska na koriscenje visokoobogacenog goriva sto bi povecalo korisni neutronski fluks i ucinilo reakor konkurentnim za

    RA reactor is not in operation since 1984, activities related to revitalisation of the RA reactor started in 1986. The planned actions related to renewal of the reactor components were finished except for the most important action, related to exchange of complete reactor instrumentation which was delayed. Only 80% of the instrumentation was delivered until September 1991. Since then any delivery of components to Yugoslavia was stopped because of the sanctions imposed to our country. The existing RA reactor instrumentation was dismantled. Control and maintenance of the reactor components was done regularly and efficiently. Fuel inspection by the IAEA safeguards inspectors was done on a monthly basis. There have been on the average 42 employees at the RA reactor which is considered sufficient for maintenance and repair conditions. The problem of financing the reactor activities and maintenance remains unsolved. Research reactor RA Annual report for year 1997 is divided into two main parts to cover: (1) operation and maintenance and (2) activities related to radiation protection. [Serbo-Croat] Reaktor RA nije u pogonu od 1984, aktivnosti na revitalizaciji, rekostrukciji i modernizaciji reaktorski sistema zapocete su 1986. godine. Okoncan je niz zahvata na opremi postrojenja kojima ce se u narednom periodu omoguciti kontinualan i pouzdan rad ovog reaktora. Poslednji, i ujedno najveci zahvat, koji se odnosi na zamenu celokupne instrumentacije kasni zbog zastoja u isporuci opreme koja se izradjuje u Sovjetskom savezu. Do septembra 1991. godine isporuceno svega 80% od predvidjene kolicine. Od tada je svaka isporuka obustavljena, a razlog je privremena zabrana na sve isporuke opreme za Jugoslaviju usled sankcija uvedenih od strane organizacije Ujedinjenih nacija. Demontirana je postojeca instrumentacija. Kontrola i odrzavanje celopkupne opreme postrojenja, kao i remontni radovi izvrsavani su redovno i efikasno.

    Statistical fluctuations of reactivity represent reactor noise. Analysis of reactor noise enables determining a series of reactor kinetic parameters. Fluctuations of power was measured by ionization chamber placed next to the tank of the RB reactor. The signal was digitized by an analog-digital converter. After calculation of the mean power, 3000 data obtained by sampling were analysed.

    This paper deals with the study od specific doses dependence on the type and approximation procedures of neutron spectra. Values of specific dose rates (dose per neutron cm{sub 2}) were analysed for neutron spectra from RB reactor in Vinca, Crac facility in Valduc (France) and HPRR reactor in Oak Ridge (USA). Data used in this analysis were obtained by methods used in Harwell (AERE), Oak Ridge (ORNL), Chalk River (AECL), CEN de Cadarache (CEA) and in the Boris Kidric Institute (IBK). Specific absorbed neutron doses were determined for each of the estimated spectra and presented in the form of kerma/(n.cm{sup -2}) and rad/((n.cm{sup -2}) units. The obtained results have shown the influence of the flux approximation procedure on the values of conversion factors for obtaining neutron doses from neutron flux. U okviru ovog rada radjeno je na ispitivanju zavisnosti specificnih doza od vrste i nacina aproksimacije neutronskog spektra. U radu su analizirane vrednosti specificnih doza (doza po n.cm{sup -2}) za neutronske spektre koji se dobijaju oko sledecih nuklearnih postrojenja: reaktora RB u Vinci, postrojenja CRAC u Valduc-u (Francuska), reaktora HPRR u Oak Ridge-u (SAD). Za analizu su korisceni podaci dobijeni metodama koje se koriste u nuklearnim centrima Harwell (AERE), Oak Ridge-u (ORNL), Chalk River-u (AECL), CEN de Cadarache (CEA) i Institutu Boris Kidric (IBK). Za svaki procenjeni spektar odredjene su specificne apsorbovane doze neutrona izrazene u kerma/(n.cm{sup -2}) i rad/(n.cm{sup -2}) jedinicama. Dobijeni rezultati su pokazali koliko nacin aproksimacije spektra utice na vrednost konverzionih faktora koji sluze za prelazak sa fluksa na dozu neutrona (author)

    years of operation as well as purification of heavy water. [Serbo-Croat] Reaktor RA je u 1969. godini radio na nominalnoj snazi 200 dana i 15 dana na manjim snagama. Ukupni rad iznosio je 31131 MWh odnosno 3.77% vise od planiranog. Reaktor je koriscen za ozracivanja i eksperimenta prema zahtevima 463 korisnika iz Instituta i 63 izvan Instituta. Ovaj izvestak sadrzi detaljne podatke o snazi na kojoj je reaktor radio tokom 1969. godine i o uradjenim eksperimentima. Zakljuceno je da je reaktor RA uspesno radio prema planu rada. Da nije bilo problema sa napajanjem elektricnom energijom tokom poslednja tri meseca i niskog vodostaja Dunava u septembru i oktobru protekle godine bila bi to najuspesnija godina od pustanja reaktora u pogon. Broj sigurnosnih zaustavljanja nije bio veci u odnosu na prethodne dve godine i pored poteskoca u poslednjem kvartalu. Osoblje je bilo izlozeno povecanim dozama zracenja usled tri incidenta. Jedan je bio raspadanje kenera sa srebrom (zbog duzeg stajanja u aktivnoj zoni), sto je uzrokovalo kontaminaciju radne platforme, tako da je fon porastao za 10 do 100 puta od normalnohg Druga dva slucaja su bila otkazivanje uredjaja za mesanje goriva u tehnoloskim kanalima. Zamena goriva je radjena cetiri puta u toku godine, utroseno je 499 svezih gorivnih elemenata. Primenjena je metoda mesanja svezih gorivnih elemenata sa koriscenim gorivnim elementima u gorivnom kanalu. Dekontaminacija povrsina bila je na nivou prethodnih godina i pored problema sa srebrom. Kako su sa reaktora tokom godine otisla dva saradnika sa visokom spremom broj ljudi je opao na neophodan minimum za pogon i odrzavanje reaktora. Navrsavajuci u ovoj godini deset godina rada moze se reci da su rad i stanje opreme na tehnicki solidnom nivou. Kako bi se posle deset godina rada izvrsila kontrola vaznih komponenti reaktora i obavila rekoncentracija teske vode, za 1970. godinu je planirano da se proizvodnja smanji na 25000 MWh, a baziran je na istim principima kao i planovi za prethodne

    The first and only calibration of RB reactor power was done in 1962, and the obtained calibration ratio was used irrespective of the lattice pitch and core configuration. Since the RB reactor is being prepared for operation at higher power levels it was indispensable to reexamine the calibration ratio, estimate its dependence on the lattice pitch, critical level of heavy water and thickness of the side reflector. It was necessary to verify the reliability of control and dosimetry instruments, and establish neutron and gamma dose dependence on reactor power. Two series of experiments were done in June 1976. First series was devoted to tests of control and dosimetry instrumentation and measurements of radiation in the RB reactor building dependent on reactor power. Second series covered measurement of thermal and epithermal neuron fluxes in the reactor core and calculation of reactor power. Four different reactor cores were chosen for these experiments. Reactor pitches were 8, 8{radical}2, and 16 cm with 40, 52 and 82 fuel channels containing 2% enriched fuel. Obtained results and analysis of these results are presented in this document with conclusions related to reactor safe operation.

    podatke o radu i eksperimentima koji su obavljani. U toku godine bilo je 12 sigurnosnih zaustavljanja, od cega 7 zbog zbog elektricnog napona. Od tri zaustavljanja ciji je uzrok bila oprema, dva su bila zbog otkazivanja novih elektronskih cevi. Od dva zaustavljanja koja je izazvalo pogonsko osoblje, jedno je bilo usled nepazljivog ukljucivanja pomocnog potrosaca, a drugo je ucinio operator jer se cinilo da snaga reaktora naglo raste. Kracih prekida rada bilo je tri, usled najavljenog iskljucenja napona. Ukupna doza ozracivanja ljudstva bila je manja nego prethodnih godina. Nije bilo ni jednog akcidenta. Dekontaminirano je znatno manje povrsina nego ranijih godina, i sakupljeno manje otpada nego prethodnih godina, dok tecnih efluenata nije bilo. Zakljuceno je da uspesan rad reaktora u 1973. godini ima poseban znacaj kada se ima na umu kriza finansiranja izazvana neblagovremenim resavanjem statusa reaktora. Mnogi goruci problemi nisu reseni: kompletiranje rezervnih delova, zamena nekih elemenata opreme, zamena nekih instrumenata, i nabavka visokoobogacenog goriva.

    Certain amount of solid waste results from RA reactor operation, the mean quantity of which depends on the duration of reactor operation and related activities. During repair, when reactor is not operated as well under accidental conditions, the quantity of waste is higher, dependent on the type of repair and comprehensiveness of decontamination of the working surface, contaminated tools and components. The waste is sorted and packed on the spot where they appeared according to the existing regulations and principles of radiation protection with aim to minimize unnecessary exposure of the radiation protection personnel who deals with control, transport, radioactive waste treatment and decontamination. During exceptional operations (decontamination, repair, bigger volume of contaminated material, etc.) professional staff of the Radiation protection department gives recommendations and helps in planning the actions related to repair, sorting and packaging of radioactive waste in special containers, identification of the contaminants, etc. [Serbo-Croat] Tokom rada reaktora RA dolazi do stvaranja odredjenih cvrstih otpadnih materijala cija prosecna kolicina zavisi od vremena rada reaktora i aktivnosti koje se tamo obavljaju. Tokom remonta, kada reaktor ne radi kao i pri akcidentalnim situacijama nastaju vece kolicine otpadnih materijala koje zavise od obima i vrste remontnih operacija i obima dekontaminacije kontaminirane radne povrsine i kontaminiranog alata, predmeta, opreme, itd. Nastali otpadni materijali se razvrstavaju i pakuju na mestu nastanka prema odgovarajucim propisima u skladu sa principima zastite od zracenja i aspekta bezbednosti u cilju minimiziranja nepotrebnog ozracivanja ljudstva za preuzimanje, kontrolu, transport, naknadnu obradu RAO i dekontaminaciju.

    outdated spare parts. Project concerning renewal of the reactor equipment was initiated during the past year according to the contract with the Soviet Atomenergoexport and IAEA which has planned to spend 1 000 000 of rubles for this project. [Serbo-Croat] Probni rad reaktora zapocet septembra 1981. godine na snazi od 2 MW sa 80% obogacenim gorivom nastavljen je u celoj 1982. prema prethodno napravljenom planu. Pocetno jezgro formirano ja sa 44 gorivna kanala sa po deset gorivnih elemenata. Prva polovina godine iskoriscena je za neophodna merenja i ispitivanja radnih parametara rektora i funkcionisanje sistema i opreme u radnim uslovima. U drugoj polovini godine zapocet je program probnog rada na visim snagama. Utvrdjeno je da ugradjeni visak reaktivnosti i kapacitet kontrolnih sipki zadovoljava sigurnosne kriterijume MAAE, ugradjeni visak reaktivnosti moze da omoguci rad na snazi od 4,7 MW u 4 mesecne kampanje sa po 15-20 dana rada, postoje povoljni uslovi za hladjenje jezgra pri pocetnoj konfiguraciji. Izmeren je efekat pocetnog zatrovanja na reaktivnost i raspodelu snage, izmerena je pocetna prostorna raspodela neutronskog fluksa koja iznosi 3,9 10{sup 13} cm{sup -2} s{sup -1} pri znazi od 2 MW. Odredjena je promena kalibracionog koeficijenta u sistemu za automatsko odrzavanje snage. Svi rezultati ukazuju da ce pri nominalnoj snazi od 4,7 Mw biti zadovoljeni svi kriterijum sigurnosti i postovana ogranicenja u odnosu na koriscenje goriva. Po dobijanju dozvole za rad na punoj snazi morace da se izvrsi dopunski probni rad na snagama od 3, 4, i 4,7 MW. Prelaz od pocetne konfiguracije sa 44 gorivna kanala u jezgru vrsice se postupno da bi se dostigla ravnotezna konfiguracija sa 72 gorivna kanala sa po 10 elemenata. Reaktor nije radio u septembu mesecu zbog radova na zameni dela cevovoda koji povezuje pumpnu stanicu na Dunavu sa horizontalnim taloznikom.

    There are serious economic reasons for using metal uranium in heavy water reactors, because of its high density, i.e. high conversion factor, and low cost of fuel elements production. Most important disadvantages are swelling at high burnup and corrosion risk. Some design concepts and application of improved uranium obtained by alloying are promising for achievement of satisfactory stability of metal uranium under reactor operation conditions. Postoje ozbiljni ekonomski razlozi za primenu metalnog urana u teskovodnim reaktorima, pre svega zbog njegove velike gustine, odnosno visokog konverzionog faktora, i zbog niskih troskova proizvodnje gorivnih elemenata. Glavne prepreke su bubrenje pri velikim stepenima sagorevanja i opasnost od korozije. Postoje veliki izgledi da se primenom odredjenih projektnih koncepcija i upotrebom legiranjem poboljsanog urana postigne zadovoljavajuca stabilnost metalnog urana u uslovima rada reaktora (author)

    This new version of the safety report is a revision of the safety report written in 1962 when the RB reactor started operation after reconstruction. The new safety report was needed because reactor systems and components have been improved and the administrative procedures were changed. the most important improvements and changes were concerned with the use of highly enriched fuel (80% enriched), construction of reactor converter outside the reactor vessel, improved control system by two measuring start-up channels, construction of system for heavy water leak detection, new inter phone connection between control room and other reactor rooms. This report includes description of reactor building with installations, rector vessel, reactor core, heavy water system, control system, safety system, dosimetry and alarm systems, experimental channels, neutron converter, reactor operation. Safety aspects contain analyses of accident reasons, method for preventing reactivity insertions, analyses of maximum hypothetical accidents for cores with natural uranium, 2% enriched and 80% enriched fuel elements. Influence of seismic events on the reactor safety and well as coupling between reactor and the converter are parts of this document.

    Based on the uranium microstructure in the fuel element, i.e. grain size, presence of other phases, porosity and the position of metal connections, some data could be obtained about the mechanical and thermal treatment of the uranium during fuel element fabrication. The mentioned characteristics could indicate the behaviour of the fuel under reactor operating conditions taking into account its stable dimensions and roughness of its surfaces. Na osnovu mikrostrukture urana u gorivnom elementu, odnosno velicine i oblika njegovih kristalnih zrna, prisustva drugih faza, pozoziteta kao i rasporeda metalnih ukljucaka, mogu se dobiti izvesni podaci o tome koje je postupke mehanickog i termickog tretiranja pretrpeo uran u pripremi za gorivni elemenat.

    Activities related to revitalisation of the RA reactor stared in 1986, were continued in 1991. A number of interventions on the reactor components were finished that are supposed to enable continuous and reliable operation. The last, and at the same time largest action, related to exchange of complete reactor instrumentation is underway, but it is behind the schedule in 1991 because the delivery of components from USSR is late. Production of this instruments is financed by the IAEA according to the contract signed in December 1988 with Russian Atomenergoexport. According to this contract, it has been planned that the RA reactor instrumentation should be delivered to the Vinca Institute by the end of 1990. Only 56% of the instrumentation was delivered until September 1991. Since then any delivery of components to Yugoslavia was stopped because of the temporary embargo imposed by the IAEA. In 1991 most of the existing RA reactor instrumentation was dismantled, only the part needed for basic measurements when reactor is not operated, was maintained. Activities related to improvement of Russian project were continued in 1994. Control and maintenance of the reactor components was done regularly and efficiently. Extensive repair of the secondary coolant loop is almost finished and will be completed in the first part of 1995 according to existing legal procedures and IAEA recommendations. Fuel inspection by the IAEA safeguards inspectors was done on a monthly basis. There have been on the average 47 employees at the RA reactor which is considered sufficient for maintenance and repair conditions. Research reactor RA Annual report for year 1991 is divided into two main parts to cover: (1) operation and maintenance and (2) activities related to radiation protection.

    Protective role of the ventilation system of nuclear facilities involve construction of ventilation barriers which prevent release of radioactive particulates or gases, elimination od radioactive particulates and gases from the air which is released from contaminated zones into the reactor environment. Ventilation barriers are created by dividing the building into a number of ventilation zones with different sub pressure compared to the atmospheric pressure. The RA reactor building is divided into four ventilation zones. First zone is the zone of highest risk. It includes reactor core with horizontal experimental channels, underground rooms of the primary coolant system (D{sub 2}O), helium system, hot cells and the space above the the reactor core. Second zone is the reactor hall and the room for irradiated fuel storage. The third zone includes corridors in the basement, ground floor and first floor where the probability of contamination is small. The fourth zone includes the annex where the contamination risk is low. There is no have natural air circulation in the reactor building. Ventilators for air input and outlet maintain the sub pressure in the building (pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure). This prevents release of radioactivity into the atmosphere. Zastitne uloge ventilacionog sistema kod nuklearnih postrojenja obuhvataju formiranje ventilacionih barijera koje onemugucavaju sirenje radioaktivnih cestica ili gasova putem cirkulacije vazduha; eliminaciju radioaktivnih cestica i gasova iz vazduha koji se evakuise iz kontaminiranih prostora u okolinu reaktorskog postrojenja.

    During 1961 the RA reactor was used for irradiation of samples for 258 users ( from which 188 from the Institute) and for 34 experiments, this means productions of 5958 MWh. The production was almost four times bigger than during previous year due to the demand of the Laboratories of the Institute. Burnup of the fuel from the first batch was about 30%. This means that the operation time could be much higher. Number of safety shut-downs was 11. The reasons were related to electrical faults, 9 occurrences, failure of the instrument for reactor period measurement, once, and failure of the pump once. This report covers state and operation data of the reactor components, control instruments, devices for reactor protection, dosimetry, heavy water system, helium system, mechanical and electrical equipment. Problems related to training of the staff and lack of personnel are mentioned as well.

    Direct approach to the problem is to calculate spatial distribution of fuel concentration if the reactor core directly using the condition of maximum neutron flux and comply with thermal limitations. This paper proved that the problem can be solved by applying the variational calculus, i.e. by using the maximum principle of Pontryagin. Mathematical model of reactor core is based on the two-group neutron diffusion theory with some simplifications which make it appropriate from maximum principle point of view. Here applied theory of maximum principle are suitable for application. The solution of optimum distribution of fuel concentration in the reactor core is obtained in explicit analytical form. The reactor critical dimensions are roots of a system of nonlinear equations and verification of optimum conditions can be done only for specific examples.

    Temperature reactivity coefficient of the RA reactor was determined as follows. Stabilization of moderator temperature and graphite reflector was achieved in the reactor operated at power levels of 20, 100, 500, 1000, 3000 and 5000 kW. Temperature change of the moderator was achieved by changing the water flow rate in the secondary cooling system. The fuel temperature was changed simultaneously. During the measurement at each power level the temperature change was between 30 - 50 deg C. Changing the position of the automated regulator is registered during moderator temperature change, and these changes were used for determining the total reactivity change by using the calibration curves for the automated regulator. In the measured temperature range the the reactivity change was linear and it was possible to determine the total temperature coefficient.

    Possibility of determination of the neutron flux in the fuel of a heavy water reactor has been examined. In determination of the flux an iterative procedure was used to compare calculated and measured contents of several fission products. The former contents were determined by calculation of the burning process balance and the latter by non-destructive gamma-spectrometric analysis of fuel. The obtained results prove the possibility of such determination of not only the average value of the flux but also of the change of its intensity during utilization of fuel (author) U radu je ispitivana mogucnost odredjivanja fluksa neutrona u gorivu teskovodnog nuklearnog reaktora. Pri odredjivanju fluksa koriscen je iterativni postupak, u kome se porede izracunati i izmereni sadrzaji nekoliko gama-radioaktivnih fisionih produkata. Prvi sadrzaji su odredjivani preko proracuna bilansa procesa sagorevanja, a drugi - nedestruktivnom gama-spektrometrijskom analizom goriva.

    Permanent increase of radiation in the heavy water system was noticed during first three year of the RA reactor operation, even when the reactor was shutdown. It was found that there was no failure of the fuel element cladding. Radioactive cobalt was found in the heavy water which was rather strange. During repair of the heavy water system, it has been found that stellite was used for coating the heavy water pumps. Since stellite is a cobalt alloy, this could have been the source of radioactive cobalt in the heavy water. The stellite coating was damaged due to friction and particle of cobalt appeared in the coolant, they were activated since they were in the core. decontamination of the heavy water and the heavy water coolant loop was a must . Beside the detailed report on the contamination and decontamination of the heavy water system this volume includes 14 annexes describing the investigation of the event and the whole procedure of decontamination.

    Alloy U-Al with low content of aluminium is often used for fabrication of fuel elements because it is stable under moderate neutron flux density. Additionally this type of alloys show much better characteristics than pure uranium under reactor operating conditions (temperature, mechanical load, corrosion effect of water). This report contains the analysis of the phase diagram of U-Al alloy with low content of aluminium, applied procedure for alloying and casting with detailed description of equipment. Characteristics of the obtained alloy are described and conclusions about the experiment and procedure are presented. Sistem U-Al sa niskim sadrzajem aluminijuma jedan je od cesto koriscenih za izradu gorivnih elemenata, jer je dovoljno stabilan pri umerenim gustinama fluksa. Pored toga, u uslovima karakteristicnim za rad nuklearnog reaktora (temperatura, gradijent temperature, mehanicka naprezanja, koroziono dejstvo vode) legure ovog sistema pokazuju daleko bolja svojstva od nelegiranog urana. Referat sadrzi analizu dijagrama stanja U-Al legure sa niskim sadrzajem aluminijuma, primenjeni postupak legiranja i livenja sa opisom pojedinih uredjaja i operacija. Takodje su opisana svojstva dobijene legure i dat je zakljucak o eksperimentu i tehnici rada (author)

    Nonstationary temperature field in the fuel element was examined for spatial and time distribution of the specific power generated in the fuel element. Analytical method was developed for calculating the temperature variation in the fuel element of a nuclear reactor for a typical shape of the heat generation function. The method is based on series expansion of the temperature field by self functions and application of Laplace transformation in time coordinate. For numerical calculation of the temperature distribution a computer code was developed based on the proposed method and applied on the ZUSE-Z-23 computer. Razmatrano je nestacionarno temperatursko polje u preseku sipke gorivnog elementa za slucaj prostorne i vremenske raspodele specificne generacije snage u gorivnom elementu. Razradjen je analii postupak odredjivanja promene temperature u gorivu nuklearnog reaktora za tipican oblik funkcije generacije toplote. Postupak se zasniva na razvoju temperaturskog polja po sopstvenim funkcijama i primeni Laplasove transformacije po vremenskoj koordinati. Za efektivno nalazenje temperaturskog polja, postupak je programiran za digitalnu racunsku masinu ZUSE-Z-23 (author)

    A special experimental device was constructed for measuring the neutron flux distribution in the RA reactor cell. This device simulated the reactor cell in order to avoid disturbance in the reactor core. It was made of an aluminium cylindrical vessel having outer diameter same as the vertical experimental channel and contained three fuel slugs. Hole was made in through the center of the fuel slugs and a copper wire was placed in the hole for measuring the thermal neutron flux distribution. It was placed in the experimental channel VK-5 in the location of highest neutron flux. Handling of samples for irradiation was quite simple.

    Analysis of operation of the RA reactor heavy water system has shown that so far there were no failures that could cause reactor shutdown. Consequences of system failures and interruption of heavy water cooling of the core would be very serious. That is the reason for analyzing and estimating these type of failures of system components that could affect the tightness of the system or interrupt its function. The important elements of the heavy water system are: operating cylinder, heavy water pumps, heat exchanger, main and drainage pipes with distribution construction. Failure analysis of all the mentioned system components was done.

Zato je potreno analizirati i predvideti takva ostecenja na elementima sistema zbog kojih bi doslo do narusavanja hermeticnosti sistema ili prestanak njegovog rada. Osnovni elementi sitema teske vode su: radni cilindar, pumpe teske vode, izmenjivac toplote, glavni i drenazni cevovodi sa razvodnom armaturom.

    In the working environment at the RA reactor, the level of gamma radiation is measured continuously by the built-in stationary system. According to the needs, measurement are done in the reactor hall every day. The level of gamma radiation is measured separately in typical points when the reactor is operated at nominal power and during intervals between two operating campaigns. The level of neutron radiation is measured according to the needs by means of a mobile spherical neutron detector. These measurements are done in the reactor hall around the horizontal experimental channels. Measured values of neutron radiation are three times lower than the relevant levels of gamma radiation. [Serbo-Croat] Na reaktoru RA vrsi se stalna kontrola nivoa gama zracenja po tehnoloskim i radnim prostorijama, pomocu ugradjenog stacionarnog sistema. Svakodnevno se vrse merenja u reaktorskoj hali, prema ukazanim potrebama. Posebno se mere nivoi gamma zracenja u karakteristicnim tackama pri radu reaktora na nominalnoj snazi i u pauzama izmedju dva kampanje.

    Calorimetric dosimetry of reactor radiation is relatively new reactor dosimetry method and the number of relevant papers is rather small. Some difficulties in applying standard methods (chemical dosemeters, ionization chambers) exist because of the complexity of radiation. In general application of calorimetric dosemeters for measuring absorbed doses is most precise. In addition to adequate choice of calorimetric bodies there is a possibility of determining the yields of each component of the radiation mixture in the total absorbed dose. This paper contains a short review of the basic calorimetry methods and some results of measurements at the RA reactor in Vinca performed by isothermal calorimeter. Kalorimetrijska dozimetrija reaktorskog zracenja je relativno nova metoda dozimetrije reaktora i broj do sada objavljenih radova je vrlo skroman. S obzirom na slozenu prirodu zracenja postoje neke teskoce pri radu sa standardnim metodama (hemijski dozimetri, jonizacione komere). U principu, upotreba kalorimetra za merenje apsorbovanih doza je najegzaktnija. Osim toga, uz pogodni izbor kalorimetrijskih tela postoji mogucnost za odredjivanje doprinosa pojedinih komponenti smese zracenja u totalnoj apsorbovanoj dozi. U tekstu je dat kratak pregled osnovnih metoda kalorimetrije i neki rezultati merenja sa izotermskim kalorimetrom na reaktoru RA u Vinci.

    Fast neutron flux in the RA reactor experimental channels was determined by using threshold reaction detectors. The (n,p) type reactions S{sub 32} (n,p)P{sub 32}, and Al{sub 24} (n,p)Na{sub 24}. Prepared sulphur and phosphorous foils were placed in cadmium boxes and irradiated in experimental channels VK-5, VK-7 and VK-9. Gold foils were irradiated simultaneously for controlling the reactor power. Reactor power was 100 kW during irradiation of half an hour. Activity of P{sub 32} and S{sub 31} after reactor shutdown was measured by 4{pi} counter and three calibrated GM counters. Absolute neutron flux was determined by using thus obtained data.

    A method of absolute in-core measurement of high neutron fluxes inside reactors operating in the megawatt region is described. In this method a semiconductor counter observes particles coming from neutron induced reactions in a target placed inside the reactor core through a long evacuated aluminum tube. The paper deals with factors which influence the accuracy of the method. Possible use of the long- tube method for neutron flux measurements in advanced reactors with neutron flux of 10{sup 15}-10{sup 16} n/cm{sup 2} sec is also discussed. The possibility of using the Li{sup 6} semiconductor counter spectrometer for measuring fast neutron spectra inside the zero power reactor at Vinca has been investigated. Great difficulties associated with the high interference of thermal neutrons have been encountered. The thermal neutron interference is almost completely suppressed by a new detector-target arrangement, in which only those products of the Li{sup 6} (n,alpha)T reactions whose mutual angle of emission is different from 180 deg are detected in coincidence. Resolution of the spectrometer as a function of the reactor power and correction factors of the spectrometer efficiency for various neutron energies are presented (author)

    potencia, hasta 5 MW(t), a la temperatura ambiente y a temperaturas elevadas, y el 16 de septiembre de ese ano el turbogenerador se conecto por primera vez a la red de la Consolidated Edison. Hasta entrado el mes de noviembre, prosiguieron los ensayos a potencias de hasta 50% del valor teorico, con frecuentes detenciones automaticas, originadas en gran parte por perturbaciones en la seccion ''clasica'' de la central. En cuanto a la seccion nuclear, fueron sobre todo las fallas del mecanismo de mando de las barras de control que contribuyeron a la caida automatica de las barras y a las demoras en la reiniciacion de la marcha despues del paro. El 14 de noviembre de 1962 se detuvo la marcha de la central para proceder a los cambios previstos en las tuberias de la seccion ''clasica'' y para modificar y perfeccionar el mecanismo de mando de las barras de control. Esta ultima operacion comprendia la instalacion de un dispositivo de purga a base de nitrogeno seco para las cajas de los mecanismos de las barras de control, a fin de reducir al minimo los efectos de los escapes de agua, a traves de las juntas. Al parecer, dichas perdidas eran la causa principal de las indicaciones erroneas registradas en el sistema de control del reactor. La central se volvio a poner en servicio el lc de enero de 1963. El 27 de enero de 1963, se dio fin a los ensayos del reactor, con potencias hasta el 100%, en condiciones de carga constante. Los resultados de los ensayos concordaron satisfactoriamente con las previsiones. En la primavera de 1963 se continuaran las pruebas, para estudiar la manera en que el reactor responde a fluctuaciones rapidas de la demanda.

    This report includes description of the regular tasks performed on the territory of the 'Boris Kidric' Institute, namely, radioactivity control of water, precipitation, soil, plants, radioactivity control of aerosols and meteorology measurements. During 1979, total beta activity of aerosols in the air were measured at three measuring stations, two located in the Institute and one about three kilometers far from the Institute in the direction of the predominant wind towards Belgrade. Total of 761 samples were measured. From the obtained results it can be concluded that during the reporting period there was no environmental contamination caused by RA reactor operation. During 1979 the radioactivity of air was significantly lower compared to previous years. [Serbo-Croat] Izvestaj obuhvata prikaz standardnih poslova koji se obavljaju na teritoriji Instituta 'Boris Kidic' u Vinci, i to kontrolu radioaktivnosti voda, padavina, rastinja, zamljista, kontrolu radioaktivnosti aerosola, i meteoroloska merenja.

    Ra reactor was designed for operation at nominal power of 6.5 MW and under forced regime. From the start of operation in 1959 until the general refurbishment in 1963 it was not operated under forced regime. At reactor power of 10 MW the mean thermal neutron flux increases from 3 to 4.6 10{sup 13} n cm{sup -2} sec{sup -1}, the maximum neutron flux increases from 6 to 9.3 10{sup 13} n cm{sup -2} sec{sup -1}, and at the exit of the experimental channel it increases from 5 to 7.7 10{sup 9} n cm{sup -2} sec{sup -1}. In order to achieve safer and more suitable operating conditions, winter period of 1963 was chosen for the first increase of reactor power level, because of low temperatures in the secondary coolant loop. This paper contains the most relevant data concerned with the reactor operation at increased power.

    Described analysis of substitution experiments and its comparison with the classic procedures showed that it could be successfully applied for processing the experimental results. This method shows some advantages and some deficiencies compared to classic methods. Precision of the method is considered sufficient for design of nuclear facilities. Routine standards used in design of nuclear facilities demand following precision of nuclear parameters: about 5% during feasibility study and design of heavy water facility with natural uranium; 2 - 3% in the phase of parameters optimisation and preparing the main project; 1% during optimization of operation. Accuracy of core parameters obtained by analysis of substitution experiments show that they could be successfully used in the phase of reactor parameters optimisation. It is possible to increase the precision of critical parameters and thus apply the proposed method for analysis of reactor parameters needed in the phase of operation optimization.

    Epithermal neutron flux was determined by measuring the cadmium ratio from activation analysis of gold and indium foils. Irradiation was done in experimental channels VK-5, VK-2, VK-7, VK-0, VK-HS next to the core, and next to the fuels elements. Activation of bare foils and foils covered by 0.8 and 1.0 mm thick cadmium foils was done simultaneously. Activity was measured by GM counter. Corrections were done for resonant neutrons self-absorption since the foils used were too thick concerning most important resonances of gold and indium. Final results were presented as spectrum factor r for their direct use in determining the effective neutron cross sections.

    A modal analysis method, spatial eigenfunctions expansion, was applied for solving the time dependent diffusion equation in two-group approximation. The absorption cross section in the thermal neutron range was time dependent. The response functions for radially multi-zone reactor systems and homogeneous reactors were obtained as solutions of the time dependent diffusion equation. Some numerical results obtained by this method are included.

    From the reactor start-up until January 1963, after reactor operation of 1246 MWd , there was a need for fuel exchange. It was necessary to develop a method for planning the refuelling scheme which would enable economic and most appropriate further operation. The most suitable scheme for refuelling would be continuous exchange, but this cannot be performed since each fuel exchange demand reactor shutdown of approximately 15 days. For that reason a compromise scheme was adopted, meaning the fresh fuel is added after each 60-80 days of operation. This report describes the method for approximate calculation of reactivity increase during exchange of the spent fuel element with the fresh one. Detailed plan for exchange of fuel exchange is given in the conclusions.

    The heavy water distillation system was tested because this was not done before the reactor start-up. Detailed inspection of the system components showed satisfactory results. Leak testing was done as well as the testing of the instrumentation which enables reliable performance of the system. Performance testing was done with ordinary water and later 2700 l of heavy water from the reactor was purified, decreasing the activity by 45%.

    A procedure for emergency cooling in the case of total loss of coolant water is proposed. `Feed and bleed` procedure is applied by the operator and its main goal is to maintain a predefined level in the primary circuit and low pressure and temperature in the reactor. Two extreme cases are considered: 1. the loss of coolant is combined with a blackout; 2. the loss of feeding water is due to a general failure in the control room. The accidents are simulated and the relevant time intervals are estimated. After a simulated operator action following the procedure the reactor temperature is evaluated to 147{sup o} C and the primary circuit pressure to 10 bar. 1 ref., 4 figs., 2 tabs.

    Instrumentation for Radiation protection existing at the RA reactor is dating mostly from the period 1957-1959 when the reactor has been built. With some minor exception it was produced in USSR. Radiation protection system was constructed based on specific design project, somewhat modified original USSR project which has been indispensable because of some modification of the building design. During the past 27 years no renewal of the instrumentation was done, only maintenance was performed. Instrumentation consists of old electronic devices which caused difficulties and even prevented regular maintenance because of lack of spare parts. Instrumentation for radiation protection at the RA reactor is classified as follows: centralized dosimetry system; stationary dosimetry instrumentation, movable and personal dosimetry systems. Apart from the scheme of dosimetry instrumentation this volume includes description of radiation protection procedures; protection devices; radiation doses and dose limit data; program for environmental radioactivity control; medical control procedures. [Serbo-Croat] Instrumentacija za zastitu od zracenja koja danas postoji na reaktoru RA najvecim delom potice iz perioda 1957-1959 kada je reaktor gradjen. Sa malim izuzetcima instrumentacija je proizvedena u SSSR. Sistem za zastitu izveden je na osnovu posebnog projekta koji predstavlja modifikaciju originalnog projekta koja je bila neophodna usled modifikovanog gradjevinskog projekta. U proteklom periodu od 27 godina instrumentacija nije obnavljana vec je vrseno samo odrzavanje. Instrumentacija je izradjena u danas prevazidjenoh tehnoligiji (elektronske cevi) sto je otezavalo i skoro onemogucavalo normalno odrzavanje. Instrumentacija za zastitu od zracenja na reaktoru RA moze se podeliti na tri dela: centralizovani dozimetrijski sistem; stacionarna dozimetrijska instrumentacija; prenosna i licna dozimetrijska instrumentacija. Pored seme sistema dozimetrijske kontrole ova knjiga sadrzi opis postupaka zastite od zracenja; zastitne opreme; podatke o dozama zracenja i granicne vrednosti; program kontrole radioaktivnosti okoline; mere medicinske kontrole.

    It has been planned for 1965 that the RA reactor would be operated each month for 20 days at nominal power of 6.5 MW, at lower power for 5 days, meaning production of 27 400 MWh. The plan was fulfilled since reactor produced 28809 MWh, i.e. 5% more than planned. Reactor was used for irradiation in the vertical experimental channels according to the demand of 1264 users from the Institute and 191 external users. Two groups of experiments done: at nominal power simultaneously with isotope production and experiments which demanded particular power levels and temperatures. Three fuel exchanges were done during this year, meaning that 40 fuel channels were changed in total. Vertical experimental channels VEK-1 and VEK-9 having diameter 100 mm were changed by channels having diameter 50 mm and shortened by 435 mm. Channel VEK-5 with diameter 110 mm was changed shortened by 430 mm. This enabled better fuel economy, the burnup was increased from 4500 MWd/t to 5000 MWd/t. This report contains the action plan for 1966.

    From the the end of 1959, when the RA reactor started operation until January 1963 reactor was operated with the initial fuel batch of 56 fuel channels. After 310 MWd 68 fuel channels were added to the reactor core, and after further 357 MWd the core was filled up to the maximum of 88 fuel channels. Basic reactor parameters were systematically measured during two years of operation. This report covers the measurements concerned directly with the reactor operation: calibration of the control rods and their reactivity worths during operation, determining the total built-in reactivity excess and its change during burnup, determination of reactivity dependence on the temperature, xenon effect in the core.

    Continuous increase of radiation intensity was observed on all the elements in the heavy water system during first three years of RA reactor operation. The analysis of heavy water has shown the existence of radioactive cobalt. It was found that cobalt comes from stellite, cobalt based alloy which was used for coating of the heavy water pump discs in order to increase resistance to wearing. Cobalt was removed from the surfaces due to friction, and transferred by heavy water into the reactor where it has been irradiated for 29 876 MWh up to 8-15 Ci/g. Radioactive cobalt contaminated all the surfaces of aluminium and stainless steel parts. This report includes detailed description of heavy water pumps repair, exchange of stellite coated parts, decontamination of the heavy water system, distillation of heavy water. [Serbo-Croat] U toku prve tri godine eksploatacije reaktora RA uocen je neprekidni porast intenziteta zracenja na svim elementima u teskovodnom sistemu.

Ustanovljeno je da kobalt potice od stelita, legure na bazi kobalta kojim su presvuceni rukavci vratila teskovodnih pumpi radi otpornosi na habanje. Kobalt je trenjem skidan sa povrsina, u toku rada prenosen je teskom vodom u reaktor i ozracivan u toku 29 876 MWh do specificne aktivnosti 8-15 Ci/g.

    For the purpose of this task it was necessary to analyze the time dependent distribution of fission products in the fuel element and leaks through the cracks in the cladding; to calculate the quantity of solid fission products, volatile fission products and fission gases for the RA reactor; to collect the data for estimating the activity of the short-living isotopes created by neutron irradiation of D{sub 2}O; analyze the number of delayed neutrons in D{sub 2}O. Experiment were needed to estimate the distribution of Xe and Kr in the heavy water in the reactor channel and analyze the activity of D{sub 2}O and helium based on reactor operation data. For the purpose of verifying the efficiency and safety of the existing system for detecting the cracks of the fuel element cladding is presented in this report together with the review of similar systems at a number of reactors in the world.

    A two-channel model for reactor dynamic analysis was developed. It enables representation of time dependent behaviour of a reactor as a whole and to obtain time and space dependent changes of temperature in any of the reactor channel. Model is suitable for follow-up of phenomena in limited time intervals up to few tens of minutes, since long term variations caused by fuel burnup and fission products are not taken into account in the model. Parameters are defined to cover the reactor power range from minimum to maximum. Model describes two main processes in the reactor: power generation dependent on the neutron flux and cooling.

    This paper describes the model which was developed for synthesis of spatial distribution of automated control elements in the reactor. It represents a general reliable mathematical model for analyzing transition states and synthesis of the automated control and regulation systems of GCR type reactors. One-dimensional system was defined under assumption that the time dependence of parameters of the neutron diffusion equation are identical in the total volume of the reactor and that spatial distribution of neutrons is time independent. It is shown that this assumption is satisfactory in case of short term variations which are relevant for safety analysis.

    This volume covers the analyses of two types of accidents: accidents caused by uncontrolled reactivity increase, and accidents caused by decrease or loss of cooling. First type of accidents, uncontrolled reactivity insertion could occur due to removal of compensation, regulatory or safety rods, or by increase of heavy water level. Removal of irradiated samples from the core could also cause increase of reactivity. Second type of accidents could occur due to interruption of cooling, loss of water in the secondary cooling loop or loss of water in the primary coolant loop.

    During 1982 the Ra reactor was operated at 2 MW power with the initial core configuration with 80% enriched fuel. The reactor power would be limited until the ventilation system is be repaired and the emergency cooling system built. The limited operation regime during 1982 had twofold application: as regular regime for the users according to their demands and for experiments related to the testing operation at 2 MW power level. The following reactor physics activities were affected by this operational regime: methods for regular operation control (determining power density and burnup distribution, reactivity variation, et,); measurement of utilization parameters (spatial distribution of the neutron flux); analysis of origin and consequences of irregularities during operation (control of heavy water and gas composition by gamma spectrometry, control of fission products, control of the heavy water purification system); safety analyses including future new systems (emergency cooling and ventilation) [Serbo-Croat] Reaktor RA je tokom 1982 godine radio sa pocetnom konfiguracijom jezgra sa 80% obogacenim gorivom na snazi od 2 Mw. Snaga je ogranicena dok se ne izvrsi rekonstrukcija sistema ventilacije i ugradnja sistema za udesno hladjenje. Rezim rada na ogranicenoj snazi koriscen je u 1982. godini dvojako: kao normalni radni rezim za potrebe korisnika i za eksperimenta u okviru probnog rada na snazi 2 MW. Ovim rezimom rada uslovljene su delatnosti u okviru reaktorske fizike na sledece oblasti: metodologija kontrole redovnog radnog rezim (odredjivanje raspodele snage i izgaranja goriva, promene reaktivnosti, itd.), merenje eksploatacionih parametara reaktora (prostorna raspodela neutronskog fluks, i sl,), analiza uzroka i posledica pojava neregularnosti u radu fizickim metodama (kontrola sadrzaja teske vode i gasa gama spektometrijom, kontrola fisionih produkata, kontrola sistema za preciscavanje teske vode), sigurnosne analize ukljucujuci buducu izgradnju novih sistema

    The objective of this task was to determine the thermal utilization factor f in a heterogeneous reactor cell. For this purpose reliable data about thermal neutron spatial distribution are needed. Spatial distribution of the thermal neutron flux in the reactor cell was measured by perturbation method which showed best results compared to other methods described in this paper experiments were done at the RB reactor.

    According to the RA reactor exploitation plan the great quantity of the irradiated spent fuel will be disposed in the reactor spent fuel pool after each reactor campaign which will including the present spent fuel inventory increase the residual power level in the pool and will soon cause the pool capacity shortage. To enable the analysis of the irradiated fuel cooling the pool and characteristic spent fuel canister temperature distribution at the residual power maximum was done. The results obtained under the various spent fuel cooling conditions in the pit indicate the normal spent fuel thermal load even in the most inconvenient cooling conditions. (author)

    The method is based on perturbation of the reactor cell from a few up to few tens of percent. Measurements were performed for square lattice calls of zero power reactors ANNA, NORA and RB, with metal uranium and uranium oxide fuel elements, water, heavy water and graphite moderators. Character and functional dependence of perturbations were obtained from the experimental results. Zero perturbation was determined by extrapolation thus obtaining the real physical neutron flux distribution in the reactor cell. Simple diffusion theory for partial plate cell perturbation was developed for verification of the perturbation method. The results of these calculation proved that introducing the perturbation sample in the fuel results in flattening the thermal neutron density dependent on the amplitude of the applied perturbation. Extrapolation applied for perturbed distributions was found to be justified.

    By means of neutron diffraction, using the standard polycrystalline sample of Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, measurements on three (of four spectrometers) already installed in the front of horizontal channels of MARIA reactor have been performed. Basing on these experiments as well as on activation measurements carried out earlier, the fluxes of monoenergetic neutrons have been estimated. These experiments allowed to determine (for a given geometry and kind of monochromators chosen) the resolution efficiency of instruments and high order contamination in the reflected beam. With the help of polycrystalline vanadium and TbBr{sub 3} sample, the possibility of studies using the inelastic scattering process have been tested. (author) 7 refs, 15 figs, 7 tabs

    During 1964, the Reactor as operated about 20 days each months at nominal power of 6.5 MW, 5 days at lower power levels and 5 days were used for maintenance. Total production was 27930 MWh which is 11.7% higher than the planned value. Fuel exchange was done 3 times during this period, 98 spent fuel channels were exchanged. In addition to routine maintenance of reactor components and instruments a series of analyses of heavy water and helium were done. Special attention was devoted to corrosion analyses of the reactor materials because of the heavy water system was refurbished decontaminated in 1963. Utilization of the experimental space in the reactor was better that previously. 546 samples were irradiated till the end of November, of which 443 for users from the Institute. Specific irradiations in the fast neutron flux were done in six VISA-2 channels in the core.

    I feel that the changes which have taken place in science in the last few years open up new possibilities, about which I should like to say a few words. In 1951 we began work on thermonuclear reactions in the confident belief that we would solve the problem with a rush and immediately. I was assigned the task of ensuring that our future thermonuclear reactor would not get too much out of hand. It was like the story of the man who wished to invent a perpetual motion machine and had taken out a patent on a method for keeping it under control. This attitude stemmed from the successes in developing ''explosive thermonuclear reactors'', a task which was achieved within a very short period of time, leaving physicists with the impression that they could do everything - and do it fast. However, experience soon showed that here we had a scientific rather than a technological problem and that it would be necessary to study in detail the physics of plasmas - which we have now been doing for over ten years. [Russian] Mne kazhetsja, chto za poslednie gody- v nauke proizoshli izmenenija, otkryvshie novye vozmozhnosti, na kotoryh ja hotel by ostanovit'sja.

Mne bylo porucheno obespechivat' regulirovanie budushhego termojadernogo reaktora, chtoby tot ne ochen' ''razognalsja'' i ne vyshel iz-pod kontrolja.

    As previously, the control of the environmental radioactivity on the Institute site, was done by measuring the total beta activity of the following samples: precipitation, fallout deposits; water, soil, plants, and water and sediments from the Danube river at 1145 km. The regular control included 1706 samples. In addition to the regular control of the environment of the nuclear facility a number of water and heavy water samples were analyzed related to the repair and renewal actions at the RA reactor. Results of these analyses (total beta activity, electric conductivity and gamma spectrometry) were submitted in separate reports. Upon demand of the dosimetry service responsible for the control of the working environment of Radioisotope Laboratory 070, six samples (surface contamination, plants and soil) were taken from the area behind the HL building where radioactive waste is kept. Total beta activity of these samples has shown significant contamination of the soil and plants. Director and the decontamination service of the radiation protection laboratory were informed immediately about these results so that adequate measures could be undertaken. [Serbo-Croat] Kontrola radioaktivnosti zivotne sredine na teritoriji IBK, kao i prethodnih godina, vrsena je merenjem totalne beta radioaktivnosti uzoraka: padavina i natalozene prasine, voda, zemljista, rastinja i uzoraka vode i sedimenata uzimanih sa 1145 km reke Dunav. U okviru redovne kontrole sakupljeno je 1706 uzoraka.

    Repair and maintenance work of the RA reactor components and equipment was longer than planned due to the following reasons: chemical decontamination of the reactor heavy water system indispensable for maintenance of the heavy water pumps; findings of contamination origin changed the maintenance schedule; some construction materials of the heavy water pumps which caused contamination had to be removed; a number of the planned operations had to be performed under increase level of gamma radiation which increased the time needed for repair. This report covers detailed description of all the maintenance and repair work done from 25 Jan to 22 Apr 1963.

    destinados al reactor de alta temperatura refrigerado por gas de la Brown-Boveri/Krupp Reaktorbau GmbH, se investigaron y desarrollaron dos conceptos de elemento combustible. El elemento consiste en ambos casos en una esfera de grafito de 6 cm de diametro que encierra una pastilla cilindrica de combustible de unos 20 mm de diametro y 16 mm de altura. La diferencia entre ambos conceptos estriba en el tipo de combustible y en la forma de preparar las esferas de grafito. En el primero, el combustible se prepara mezclando U{sub 3}O{sub 8} y grafito, prensando esta mezcla en pastillas y haciendo que ambos componentes reaccionen en un horno al vacio a 1800{sup o}C. La razon atomica U : C es 1:45. Como este tipo de pastilla combustible no retiene cuantitativamente los productos de fision, fue necesario impregnar la esfera de grafito para hacerla impermeable y mejorar su poder de retencion. De este modo, se lograron permeabilidades del orden de 10{sup -6}cm{sup 2}/s . Con arreglo al segundo concepto, el combustible consiste en una solucion solida de UC en ZrC recubierta de una capa de ZrC. La razon molar UC : ZrC asciende a 1 : 20. La pastilla combustible se preparo del modo siguiente: se mezclaron UO{sub 2}, ZrO{sub 2} y grafito y se prensaron en pastillas que se hicieron reaccionar para obtener los carburos, que a su vez se trituraron en un molino de bolas, para volver a prensarse a 2000{sup o}C. De este modo, se alcanzaron densidades superiores al 95% del valor teorico. La memoria describe en detalle la preparacion y algunas de las propiedades fisicas de las pastillas combustibles. Se espera que este tipo de combustible retenga suficientemente los gases de fision y permita el empleo de esferas de grafito no impregnadas. La memoria examina tambien otras ventajas de esos combustibles.

    Calculation and experimental results shown in this paper show that higher thermal neutron flux is obtained in the reactor core with central horizontal reflector at the same power level. The flux is increased when the moderation capability of the core is decreased. Apart from increase of the thermal component of the neutron flux in the experimental channels, the central reflector causes decrease of the epithermal neutron flux and gamma radiation intensity. This is very useful for studying (n, {gamma}) reaction, neutron diffraction, etc. [Serbo-Croat] Rezultati proracuna i merenja prikazanih u ovom radu ukazuju na cinjenicu da se u reaktoru sa ugradjenim centralnim horizontalnim reflektorom dobija veci fluks termalnih neutron pri istoj snazi i to utoliko veci ukoliko je moderaciona sposobnost aktivne zone manja. Pored uvecanja termalne komponente neutrona u snopu na horizontalnim eksperimentalnim kanalima centralni reflektor uslovljava i smanjenje epitermalne komponente, kao i intenzitet gamma zracenja. Ovo je pozeljno za proucavanje (n,{gamma}) reakcija, neutron diffraction, etc.

    A survey is given of the measurement of the spatial distribution of thermal and fast neutrons and gamma radiations inside and around the reactor radiation beam which is carried through the experimental channel outside the reactor biological shield thus being a potential danger for the personnel in the reactor hall. The results obtained are used to determine the optimal distribution of the shielding elements around the free radiation beam. The activation method was used to determine the distribution of slow and fast neutrons. The detectors were Au{sup 197} and In {sup 115} for slow, and the S{sup 32} (n,p) P{sup 32} reaction for fast neutrons. The relative distribution of slow and fast neutrons along the beam axis in the space outside the reactor, and evaluation of the absolute value of the flux at the place where the beam comes out from the biological shield are given (author)

    Most of the coal gasification plants based of one of the three main types of reactors: fixed bed, fluidized bed or entrained flow. In recent years, the last ones, which works as "slagging" reactors (due to the form of generated waste), are very popular among commercial installations. The article discusses the characteristics of the waste from coal gasification in entrained flow reactors, obtained from three foreign installations. The studies was conducted in terms of the possibilities of use these wastes in mining technologies, characteristic for Polish underground coal mines. The results were compared with the requirements of Polish Standards for the materials used in hydraulic backfill as well as suspension technology: solidification backfill and mixtures for gob caulking. Większość przemysłowych instalacji zgazowania węgla pracuje w oparciu o jeden z trzech głównych typów reaktorów: ze złożem stałym, dyspersyjny lub fluidalny. W zależności od rodzaju reaktora oraz szczegółowych rozwiązań instalacji, powstające uboczne produkty zgazowania mogą mieć różną postać. Zależy ona w dużej mierze od stosunku temperatury pracy reaktora do temperatury topnienia części mineralnych zawartych w paliwie, czyli do temperatury mięknienia i topnienia popiołu. W ostatnich latach bardzo dużą popularność wśród instalacji komercyjnych zdobywają reaktory dyspersyjne "żużlujące". W takich instalacjach żużel jest wychwytywany i studzony po wypłynięciu z reaktora. W niektórych przypadkach oprócz żużla powstaje jeszcze popiół lotny, wychwytywany w systemach odprowadzania spalin. Może być on pozyskiwany oddzielnie lub też zawracany do komory reaktora, gdzie ulega stopieniu. Wszystkie z analizowanych odpadów - trzy żużle oraz popiół pochodzą właśnie z tego typu instalacji. Tylko z jednej z nich pozyskano zarówno żużel jak i popiół, z pozostałych dwóch jedynie żużel. Odpady te powstały, jako uboczny produkt zgazowania w

    The investigations in order to master the production of radioisotopes were commenced simultaneously with the beginning of RA nuclear reactor construction at Vinca, in 1956. A new organization division - Laboratory for chemistry of high activity accepting beside other problems also the programme for mastering the regular production of radioactive material was formed in 1959. Various problems during the realization of this programme have been solved, starting with the staff training for work with radioactive material on the high level activity (to 7500 Ci/source), construction and equipment of the laboratory area for safe work, up to development of the whole series of chemical-technological procedures and techniques for regular production of various radioactive products, as well as the methods for their chemical, radiometric and pharmaceutical control. Owing to the successful realization of this programme, the Institute 'Boris Kidric' supplies to-day regularly 110 organizations in the country with various radioactive products, applied in medicine, industry and research. The annual product of the radioactive solutions of radioisotopes J-131, Au-198, P-32, S-35 etc., amounts to about 75 Ci, radiographic sources Ir-192 and Co-60 to 2000 Ci and Co-60 sources for teletherapy and the other applications to many thousand curies (author) [Serbo-Croat] Paralelno sa pocetkom izgradnje nuklearnog reaktora RA u Vinci 1956. godine zapoceta su istrazivanja u oblasti osvajanja proizvodnje radioizotopa. 1958. god. formirana je nova organizaciona jedinica - Laboratorija za hemiju visoke aktivnosti, koja je, pored ostalog, prihvatila i program osvajanja redovne proizvodnje radioaktivnog materijala.

    During the 1984 the reactor operation was limited by the temporary operating license issued by the Committee of Serbian ministry for health and social care. The reason was the non existing emergency cooling system and lack of appropriate filters in the special ventilation system. This temporary license has limited the reactor power to 2 MW from 1981. Operation of the primary cooling system was changed in order to avoid appearance of the previously noticed aluminium oxyhydrate on the surface of the fuel element claddings. The new cooling regime enabled more efficient heavy water purification. Control and maintenance of the reactor instrumentation and tools was done regularly but dependent on the availability of the spare parts. In order to enable future reliable operation of the RA reactor, according to new licensing regulations, during 1984, three major tasks are planned: building of the new emergency system, reconstruction of the existing ventilation system, and renewal of the reactor instrumentation. Financing of the planned activities will be partly covered by the IAEA. this Part I of the report includes 8 Annexes describing in detail the reactor operation, and 6 special papers dealing with the problems of reactor operation and utilization.

    A part of the Institute in Vinca this monograph refers to is the thermal nuclear zero power reactor RB, with a heavy water moderator and variously enriched uranium fuel, that is, its present day version, the coupled fast-thermal system HERBE. A group of research workers, technicians, operators and skilled workmen in the workshop have worked continuously on it. Some of them have spent their whole working age at the reactor, and some a part of it. There is about a hundred and fifty internationally published papers, twenty master's and fourteen doctor's theses left behind them for the past thirty five years. This book is devoted to them. The first part of the text refers to the pioneering efforts on the reactor and fundamental research in reactor physics. The experimental reactor RB was designed and constructed at the time to operate with natural uranium and heavy water. Measurements are presented and the first results of reaching critical state, measurements of migration length of thermal neutrons and neutron multiplication factor in an infinite medium; also measurements of neutron flux density distribution and reactor parameter, and in the domain of safety, measurement of safety rods reactivity. Those were also the times when the known serious accident occurred with the uncontrolled rise of reactivity, which was especially minutely described in a publication of the International Atomic Energy Agency from Vienna. Later on, new fuel was acquired with 2 % enriched uranium. A series of experiments in reactor and neutron physics followed, with just the most interesting results of them presented here. In the period which followed, another type of fuel was available, with 80 % enriched uranium. New possibilities for work opened. Measurements with mixed lattices were performed, and the RA reactor lattices were simulated. After measurements mainly in the sphere of reactor and neutron physics, a need for investigations in the field of gamma and neutron radiation protection arose. While the RB reactor system was purely thermal with a variable neutron reflector, possibilities for this kind of research were comparatively limited. However, these possibilities were greatly increased by system configurations which had neutron converters built into them, and which created significant and spacious fast neutron fields suitable for various experiments. In the beginning of the eighties at the Institute in Vinca, designing and construction of a fast zero power reactor called LASTA began. The design was completed, location for it examined and arranged. In a mid-phase, even the main design of a subcritical system called MALA LASTA was also elaborated. RB reactor has its role in these designs, which consisted mostly of creation of neutron fields similar to the energy spectrum like the one in the LAST A, intended for basic measurements and acquiring of experimental experience for future experiments. In order to fulfil this task, a hybrid coupled fast-thermal system HERBE was completed, which will, in view of its significance, be devoted a part of this monograph. Reactor RB began its operation as part of the Laboratory for Physics and Dynamics of the Reactor. It was also a Basic Organization of Associated Labour, and now the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory developed around it. All the important data on this several-decades long work are presented in this monograph. (author)

    In addition to the safety analysis for the zero power RB reactor, this report contains a general description of the reactor, reactor components, auxiliary equipment and the reactor building. Reactor Rb has been reconstructed during 1961-1962 and supplied with new safety-control system as well as with a complete dosimetry instrumentation. Since RB reactor was constructed without shielding special attention is devoted to safety and protection of the staff performing experiments. Due to changed circumstances in the Institute ( start-up of the RA 7 MW power reactor) the role of the RB reactor was redefined.

    This report includes the analysis of plutonium isotopes from U{sup 238} depletion chain. Two theoretical approaches for solving the depletion of fuel are shown. One results in the system of differential equations that can be solved only by using electronic calculators and the second, Machinari-Goto method enables obtaining analytical equations for approximative values of particular nuclei. In addition, differential equations are given for different approximation levels in calculating Pu {sup 239}, as well as relations between the released energy and irradiation. Ova faza obuhvata analizu stvaranja izotopa plutonijuma u lancu U{sup 238}. Prikazana su dva teorijska pristupa resavanju problema 'konverzije goriva', jedan dovodi do sistema diferecijalnih jednacina za cije je resavanje neophodno koriscenje elektronskih racunskih masina, i drugi, Machinari-Goto metod koji omogucava da se dobiju analiticki izrazi vrednosti aproksimacije pojedinih jezgara. Osim toga date su diferencijalne jednacine raznih stepena aproksimacije u racunanju Pu {sup 239}, kao i veze izmedju oslobodjene energije i ozracivanja.

    The objective of the experiment was to measure the axis of the neutron beam from the reactor channel. The collimator, mechanical spectrometer and detectors are to be placed along this axis. Two points along the channel are determined to be defined as centres of the neutron beam. During this experiments the collimators were placed in the reactor at distance of 100 cm and cross section of 3.5 cm in diameter. BF{sub 3} detectors were used for the experiment.

    Anisotropy of neutron elastic scattering is a problem of special importance in solving the Boltzmann transport equation numerically. This is not the case when Monte Carlo method is applied. Estimation of the influence of elastic scattering anisotropy on the neutron flux is treated in order to justify the application of Monte Carlo method which is computer time consuming. Correlation procedure was applied for the study of this influence. One group case was used as an example to enable comparison of other methods.

    autores explican como han adaptado la clave AX-I para calculos neutronico-hidro-dinamicos al caso de un gas que se ajusta a la ecuacion de Van der Waals. Otra modificacion importante introducida en la ecuacion de estado utilizada en la clave, consiste en emplear una ecuacion del tipo de Mie-Gruneisen, derivada de la teoria del estado solido. Esta modificacion permite evaluar de manera mas satisfactoria del termino de presion para el caso de cuerpos de composicion variable. Dado que en un conjunto de potencia cero las placas de uranio fuertemente enriquecido en el isotopo-235, se calentaran con mas rapidez que las de uranio empobrecido, la posibilidad de que se produzca un efecto Doppler positivo neto es mucho mayor en un conjunto experimental que en el reactor de potencia reproductor equivalente. Se ha estudiado este peligro en el caso de diferentes conjuntos posibles. Los calculos indican que en un conjunto de potencia cero el coeficiente Doppler solo alcanza un valor peligroso en los sistemas que poseen un espectro de energias neutronicas muy blando, caracteristico de los grandes reactores de potencia reproductores, alimentados con oxido de uranio.

    Modifications done on the synchronous generators are related to the emergency power supply system, meaning one of the most important devices responsible for reactor safety. Without reducing the efficiency of the heavy water pumps the improved stability of generators operation was achieved by reducing the possibility of errors and simplifying manipulation. Condensator batteries were improved in order to decrease the leakage currents.

    Review of the environmental monitoring data presented in this report is prepared for the RA reactor safety report. These data resulted from four-year monitoring of precipitations and deposited dust. Measurements were done daily. In addition to these data, tables contain mean daily values, total monthly values of beta activities of precipitation from 1977 - 1980. Radioactivity control of the RA reactor environment showed that there was no significant discrepancy compared to the mean values for several years, apart from seasonal variations and meteorological influences. In the period from October 1976 to mid 1978 a number of higher values were recorded probably due to nuclear explosions. During 1979 the general activity level was relatively low, showing increase tendency during 1980.

    punto de descarga del reactor y el de almacenamiento del combustible. Pero esos dos lugares presentan dificultades materiales de caracter peculiar para los inspectores o los encargados de controlar el inventario. La distancia entre el objeto y el observador, la escasa iluminacion y l a distorsion optica debida a los medios de blindaje (agua, cristal) son factores que contribuyen a dificultar las operaciones inherentes al inventario de materiales. Para resolver estas dificultades y poder identificar positivamente el combustible descargado de un reactor, los autores han ideado un dispositivo de inspeccion optica compuesto de una estacion fija, un periscopio, un telescopio y una camara fotografica. Con este dispositivo se han hecho pruebas en una pileta de irradiacion por cobalto en las que se han examinado varias muestras marcadas diversamente y tratadas en un circuito de agua caliente. Para estas pruebas se emplearon un periscopio lleno de agua, de 3,35 m de longitud, un telescopio catadioptrico colocado a 4,9 m del periscopio, y una camara de 35 mm para registrar las observaciones. El telescopio, la camara y los soportes son portatiles, pues pesan en total menos de 10 kg y su dimension maxima es de 75 cm. Las observaciones fotograficas de diagramas de resolucion tomadas como pruebas en aire, a 6 m del objetivo del telescopio, pusieron de manifiesto que ese sistema puede resolver senales de comprobacion de 22 {mu}m de ancho, lo que corresponde a una resolucion de 0,8 segundos de arco. Ensayos llevados a cabo con el dispositivo sumergido en agua mostraron que en este caso el poder de resolucion es superior a 50 {mu}m a 6 m, lo que corresponde a una resolucion de 1 segundo de arco, Es evidente que el poder de resolucion nunca puede ser superior al del sistema en aire. El sistema descrito empleado en un inventario real de combustible, reproducira adecuadamente cualquier senal de comprobacion.

    influencia de los vacios sobre la reactividad asume particular importancia en los reactores de agua hirviente. La distribucion no uniforme de los vacios aconseja investigar y comprender la ley de variacion espacial del efecto cavitario sobre la reactividad. En la instalacion NORA se ha llevado a cabo un estudio experimental del efecto cavitario en condiciones fisicamente 'limpias'. En las zonas tubulares comprendidas entre las barras de combustible y sus envolturas se crean cavidades por inyeccion de aire comprimido. En los experimentos de barra unica, los efectos de reactividad son tan pequeflos que es preferible producir periodicamente impulsos oscilantes en el volumen cavitario y analizar la modulacion de potencia correspondiente para obtener los coeficientes de reactividad equivalentes. En el caso de las barras multiples, los experimentos se efectuan por procedimientos estaticos. Los autores describen la tecnica experimental y dan ejemplos de su aplicacion en la determinacion de los efectos cavitarios para una sola barra, las interacciones en el caso de las barras alrededor de las cuales se han formado cavidades y los efectos de las cavidades creadas en toda la extension del cuerpo.

    ha estudiado la posibilidad de medir muestras de aire y de tejidos humanos. Ha resultado posible proceder al analisis radiometrico de muestras tomadas con ayuda de un filtro en 0,1 m{sup 3} de aire contaminado a razon de 100 CMA de actividad beta (40 h), 100 CMA de {sup 131}I (40 h) y 10 CMA de actividad alfa (40 h), con un fondo gamma de 2 r/h. Estas mediciones se han efectuado con el equipo normal de la sala de recuento, situada a 400 m del reactor propiamente dicho. De todas formas, es preciso utilizar contadores bien blindados, por ejemplo, con una pantalla de plomo de 10 cm de espesor. Tambien se han juzgado satisfactorios los resultados de los analisis beta rapidos efectuados con un tubo G-M de ventana terminal - corrientemente utilizado para la vigiliancia radiologica - provisto de blindaje de plomo de 10 cm de espesor . Los analisis de wil hubieron de efectuarse con espectrometro gamma, pero con tiempos de medicion de 100 s se obtuvieron resultados satisfactorios. Tambien en este caso, fue preciso proteger los espectrometros con un blindaje de plomo de 10 cm de espesor, como mfnimo. Si la actividad gamma de fondo alcanzase niveles muy elevados, resultaria dificil investigar con un antropogammametro corriente las cargas corporales correspondientes a la absorcion trimestral admisible. En tal caso, convendria alejar el antropogammametro del lugar o disponer de un contador transportable. El autor demuestra los efectos de un aumento de la actividad de fondo reproduciendo datos numericos obtenidos en el caso de un camara con paredes de hierro de 16 cm de espesor y un cristal de Nal de 4 x 8 pulg. En el calculo de todos los datos se cometen errores considerables debidos a las amplias fluctuaciones de los campos gamma. Si no se dispone de un detector de funcionamiento continuo, es preciso medir la actividad de fondo antes y despues de analizar la muestra.

    The potential usefulness of dispersions of PuO{sub 2}, UO{sub 2} and ThO{sub 2} in matrices of BeO, Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, MgO and SiO{sub 2} is reviewed in terms of fuel integrity and fabrication. Dimensional stability and fission-product retentivity are the two features most important to fuel integrity. Compatibility of the constituents of the fuels with one another and with the coolant will influence dimensional stability, but oxide fuels are well favoured in these respects. Dimensional changes under irradiation will contain contributions from neutron and fission fragment damage to the matrix, from radiation damage to the fissile-fertile phase and from agglomerated fission-product gases. Thermal stresses are also capable of effecting changes in shape. However, information on mechanisms for stress relaxation is too limited to enable any reasonable theoretical assessment of behaviour to be made. Both light irradiation and high burn-up studies of fission-product release from the fissile-fertile oxides have concerned themselves mainly with the gaseous products, chiefly xenon. Data on the release of other fission products is very limited as is also information on the movement of fission products in general through the potential matrix materials. Studies of the permeability of sintered pure oxides indicate that densities of at least 95% theoretical density (maybe even 98%) will be needed to eliminate open porosity in such matrices. A variety of techniques are available for the preparation of fissile-fertile particles, for their coating and for their incorporation into high-density matrices. Work on laboratory-scale fabrication processes is well advanced. (author) [French] L'auteur examine la possibilite d'utiliser des combustibles disperses - PuO{sub 2}, UO{sub 2} et ThO{sub 2} et matrices de BeO, Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, MgO et SiO{sub 2} - dans des reacteurs a haute temperature, au point de vue de l'integrite du combustible et de sa transformation. La stabilite dimensionnelle et l'aptitude a retenir les produits de fission sont les deux caracteristiques les plus importantes de l'integrite du combustible. La compatibilite des elements constitutifs des combustibles les uns avec les autres et avec le refroidisseur exerce une influence sur la stabilite dimensionnelle, mais les combustibles sous forme d'oxydes presentent beaucoup d'avantages a cet egard. Les variations de dimension sous irradiation ont trois composantes: les dommages causes a la matrice par les neutrons et les produits de fission, les dommages causes par les rayonnements a la phase produit fissile/produit fertile, les effets d'une accumulation de produits de fission gazeux. Les contraintes thermiques peuvent egalement etre a l'origine de modifications de forme. Cependant, les renseignements dont on dispose sur les mecanismes de la relaxation des contraintes sont trop limites pour qu'il soit possible de formuler des appreciations theoriques sur le comportement du materiau. Les etudes sur le degagement des produits de fission provenant d'un melange d'oxydes fissiles et fertiles sous faible irradiation ou pour un taux de combustion eleve, ont porte principalement sur les produits gazeux, notamment le xenon. Les donnees sur le degagement d'autres produits de fission sont tres limitees comme le sont d'ailleurs celles qui ont trait aux mouvements des produits de fission en general a travers les materiaux que l'on peut utiliser pour les matrices. Des etudes relatives a l'etancheite des oxydes purs frittes indiquent qu'il faut atteindre des densites egales a 95% au moins et peut-etre meme a 98% de la densite theorique pour supprimer la porosite ouverte dans de telles matrices. On peut recourir a diverses methodes pour preparer des particules de produits fissiles et fertiles, pour les revetir et pour les incorporer dans des matrices de densite elevee. Les travaux sur les procedes de transformation a l'echelle du laboratoire sont assez avances. (author) [Spanish] El autor examina la posibilidad de utilizar dispersiones de PuO{sub 2}, UO2 y ThO{sub 2} en matrices de BeO, Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, MgO y SIO{sub 2}, desde el punto de vista de la integridad y elaboracion del combustible. Las dos caracteristicas mas importantes en lo que atane a la integridad del combustible son su estabilidad dimensional y su capacidad de retener los productos de fision. La compatibilidad de los componentes del combustible entre si, y entre ellos y el refrigerante, influye en la estabilidad dimensional, pero en este aspecto, las propiedades de los combustibles en forma de oxido son satisfactorias. A la alteracion de las dimensiones del combustible por irradiacion contribuyen los factores siguientes: deterioracion de la matriz por los neutrones y los fragmentos de fision, deteriorizacion de la fase fisionable/fertil por las radiaciones y gases de los productos de fision acumulados. Las tensiones termicas pueden tambien provocar deformaciones. Los conocimientos que se poseen sobre los mecanismos de atenuacion de tensiones son, sin embargo, insuficientes para permitir un estudio teorico razonable del comportamiento de los materiales. Los estudios sobre la liberacion de productos de fision por los oxidos fisionables/fertiles, realizados tanto en condiciones de irradiacion poco intensa como de elevado grado de combustion, han tratado principalmente de los productos gaseosos, en particular del xenon. Los datos que se poseen sobre el desprendimiento de otros productos de fision son muy escasos, lo mismo que los conocimientos sobre el movimiento de los productos de fision en general a traves de los materiales que podrian utilizarse como matrices. De los estudios realizados sobre la permeabilidad de los oxidos puros sinterizados, se deduce que se deberan alcanzar densidades teoricas de 95%, como minimo, o quiza incluso de 98%, paca eliminar la porosidad de dichas matrices. Se han elaborado una serie de procedimientos para preparar las particulas fisionables/fertiles, para revestirlas y para incorporarlas en matrices de elevada densidad. Los trabajos sobre metodos de elaboracion en escala experimental se hallan bastante avanzados.

    Improved reactor performance requires the use of accurately fabricated and carefully inspected components. One inspection relates to the quality of the cladding tubes, whose mechanical reliability is essential for economic reactor operation. The choice and development of a method is a difficult matter and the authors explain the main factors involved. Once the choice has been made and the method has been developed in the laboratory, two new problems arise: Adaptation to meet industrial requirements; and The need to reconcile the quality standards attainable with the manufacturing process at any given stage and the somewhat arbitrarily defined specifications for the finished product. In practice, this involves a statistical study of batches of tubes from various sources and their classification in relation to more or less strict thresholds. The number of tubes which have to be inspected is much larger than originally expected. This has led to the design of an automatic inspection device geared both to the output rates involved and to the requirements of the type of inspection adopted; the latter are generally mechanical and impose particularly careful product fabrication. These various characteristics are now embodied in a device whose capacity can already easily meet the requirements of a fuel-element production line. The potentialities of the device are closely dependent on the characteristics of the inspection equipment used, especially the performances of the electronic part of ultrasonic inspection instruments and of the transducers. This study shows that standard equipment is not very suitable and that immediate thought should be given to special instruments for this type of inspection. (author) [French] L'accroissement des performances des reacteurs necessite l'utilisation de materiaux finement elabores et soigneusement controles. L'un des aspects de ce controle est celui de la qualite des tubes de gainage utilises, dont la tenue mecanique est un facteur essentiel de rentabilite du reacteur. Il s'avere que le choix de la methode a utiliser et a mettre au point est delicat; le memoire en donne les elements essentiels. Ce choix etant fait, apres mise au point en laboratoire, deux nouveaux problemes se posent: - la transposition dans le domaine industriel; - la necessite de tenir compte de la qualite permise, a un instant determine, par les procedes de fabrication, en relation avec les normes de reception definies de maniere plus ou moins arbitraire. Ceci se traduit en fait par la necessite d'une etude statistique sur des lots de tubes de diverses provenances, et leur classement par rapport a des seuils plus ou moins severes. On verra que le nombre de tubes a controler est tres superieur a celui prevu initialement. Cela conduit a l'etude d'une machine de controle automatique, capable de satisfaire a la fois les exigences de cadence et celles propres au type de controle choisi: ces dernieres sont generalement d'ordre mecanique et necessitent une construction particulierement soignee. L'ensemble de ces considerations a conduit a concevoir une machine dont la cadence peut des maintenant couvrir sans difficulte les besoins d'une chaihe de fabrication d'elements combustibles. Les possibilites de cette machine sont etroitement liees aux caracteristiques du materiel de controle choisi, en particulier aux performances de l'electronique des appareils de controle par ultrasons et a celles des traducteurs utilises. Il resulte d'ailleurs de cette etude que le materiel standard ne repond que tres imparfaitement au probleme et que l'on doit envisager des maintenant un appareillage particulier pour ce type de controle. (author) [Spanish] Las mayores exigencias a que se someten los reactores obligan a utilizar materiales elaborados y controlados con sumo cuidado. Un aspecto de tal control se refiere a la calidad de las vainas empleadas, cuyas propiedades mecanicas ejercen una influencia decisiva sobre la rentabilidad del reactor. La eleccion del metodo a utilizar representa un proceso delicado, cuyas consideraciones fundamentales se exponen en el presente trabajo. Una vez elegido el metodo y puesto a punto en el laboratorio, surgen dos nuevos problemas: Transposicion a escala industrial. Necesidad de tener siempre presente la calidad que puede alcanzarse en la industria, en relacion con normas de aceptacion definidas de manera mas o menos arbitraria. En la practica, ello obliga a realizar un estudio estadistico sobre partidas de tubos de diversos origenes y clasificarlos teniendo en cuenta umbrales de aceptacion de distintos grados de severidad. Como se ve en el trabajo, el numero de tubos a controlar es muy superior al previsto inicialmente. Este hecho indujo a estudiar una maquina de control automatico, capaz de satisfacer al mismo tiempo las exigencias de la cantidad y las propias del tipo de control seleccionado; estas ultimas son por lo general de orden mecanico y requieren una construccion especialmente esmerada. El conjunto de estas consideraciones llevo a concebir una maquina capaz de satisfacer sin dificultad las necesidades de una cadena de fabricacion'de elementos combustibles. Las posibilidades de esta maquina estan estrechamente ligadas a las caracteristicas del material descontrol escogido, sobre todo al rendimiento de los circuitos electronicos correspondientes a los aparatos de control por metodos ultrasonicos y al de los transductores utilizados. Se deduce del presente estudio, por otra parte, que el material corriente no responde al problema sino de manera muy imperfecta, y que se debe encarar desde ya el proyecto de un aparato especial para este tipo de control.

Posle togo, kak v rezul'tate laboratornyh rabot sdelan vybor, voznikajut dve novye problemy: D) vnedrenie v promyshlennost' neobhodimost' ucheta dopustimogo kachestva v opredelennyj moment metodami izgotovlenija v svjazi s ustanovlennymi bolee ili menee proizvol'nym obrazom normami dlja priema.

Vidno, chto kolichestvo podlezhashhih kontrolju trub znachitel'no prevyshaet pervonachal'no namechennoe. Jeto vedet k izucheniju avtomaticheskogo kontrol'nogo mehanizma, sposobnogo udovletvorit' odnovremenno i trebovanijam tempa, i trebovanijam, vytekajushhim iz vybrannogo tipa kontrolja: poslednie obychno svodjatsja k mehanicheskomu kontrolju i nuzhdajutsja v osobenno tshhatel'no razrabotannoj konstrukcii.

Los costos de produccion son mucho menores que para los sistemas electromecanicos. Se ha realizado un estudio de la barra FBCR, incluida la construccion de prototipos y la comprobacion de sus caracteristicas hidraulicas y nucleares. Se'han examinado dos tipos de barra: de transmision (espesor Less-Than-Over-Equal-To 2 recorridos libres medios) y de reflexion. (espesor Less-Than-Over-Equal-To 4 recorridos libres medios). Ambos tipos presentan caracteristicas hidraulicas y nucleares aceptables. Se ha demostrado la posibilidad de regular los reactores de baja potencia mediante barras de control de lecho fluidificado (de transmision o de reflexion). Asimismo, se ha demostrado que la barra FBCR posee satisfactorias propiedades de control, que pueden calcularse por los metodos teoricos normales. Para su aplicacion a reactores de potencia y temperatura elevadas, es necesario adquirir informaciones mas amplias sobre las caracteristicas de los materiales que integran las particulas.

Istovremeno su napravljeni prikljucci na cevovodu teske vode u cilju realizacije projekta sistema za udesno hladjenje reaktorskog jezgra. Tokom 1970. godine isluzeno gorivo prepakovano je iz tahnoloskih kanala u specijalne sudove od aluminjuma. U bazen br. 4 odlozeno je 4 suda sa ukupno 660 elemenata, tako da se sada u bazenu nalazi 18 sudova sa 2951 gorivnim elementom. Izvrsene su tri izmene goriva i to mesanjem starog sa 5 ili 6 novih gorivnih elemenata. Poslovi u toku stajanja reaktora bili su skopcani cesto sa radom u polju visokog zracenja, sto je uzrokovalo vece totalne doze doze ozracivanja ljudstva. Maksimalna doza zracenja po coveku nije bila veca od 3,5 R. Nastavljena je saradnja sa francuskim partnerom na polju izucavanja mogucnosti koriscenja 93% obogacenog urana umesto sadasnjeg niskoobogacenog kako bi se postigao fluks reda velicine 10{sup 14} n/cm{sup 2} sec. Napominje se da je ostvarenje plana rada za 1971. godinu dovedeno u pitanje usled nedostatka finansijskih sredstava.

La experiencia adquirida en la aplicacion de esos dos metodos por el Argonne National Laboratory a cantidades relativamente grandes de tubo de diversas procedencias se estudia desde el punto de vista del costo mas bajo posible a que pueda efectuarse la inspeccion por unidad de longitud del tubo de que se trate. En la presente seccion se expone ademas en forma concisa la experiencia adquirida en Argonne con los modernos metodos de impulsos electromagneticos. Se examina la influencia critica, pero generalmente inapreciada, que tienen en el costo de la inspeccion el diametro y el espesor de pared del tubo. Teniendo en cuenta que el problema de la inspeccion en condiciones economicas guarda una estrecha relacion con el numero medio de defectos admisibles, se estudian asimismo los promedios y las normas que se aplican en Argonne. Por ultimo, se enumeran los obstaculos de orden teorico y practico para reducir el costo de la inspeccion de piezas sobre esa base, y se evaluan las posibles reducciones de costo que podrian lograrse en lo futuro aplicando los metodos de ensayo ultrasonicos y electromagneticos.

    In the paper the contaminants that may be generated in Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) process were listed and include mainly mono- and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, heavy metals, cyanides, ammonium, chloride and sulphate. As a method of UCG contaminated groundwater treatment a Permeable Reactive Barrier technology was proposed. To assess the effectiveness of this technology two tests were carried out. Granulated activated carbon (GAC) and zeolite, and granulated activated carbon and scrap iron were applied in the first and second test respectively. For these materials the hydro geological parameters called reactive material parameters were determined and discussed. The results of the experiments showed that GAC seems to be the most effective material for phenols, BTX, PAH, cyanides and slightly lowers ammonia removal, while zeolites and scrap iron removed free cyanide, ammonia and heavy metals respectively. Podziemne Zgazowanie Węgla (PZW) jest alternatywną metodą pozyskiwania energii z węgla. Jest to zespół przemian termicznych i chemicznych przebiegających bezpośrednio w złożu węgla, zachodzących pomiędzy substancją organiczną a czynnikiem zgazowującym, jakim może być powietrze, tlen, para wodna, dwutlenek węgla. Poza wieloma zaletami metoda ta niesie za sobą także wiele zagrożeń, które były rozważane w ramach projektu HUGE 2 (nr RFCR-CT-2011-00002). Jednym z nich jest zagrożenie środowiska wód podziemnych produktami PZW, do których należą wielopierścieniowe węglowodory aromatyczne, BTX, fenole, metale ciężkie, cyjanki, jony amonowe, chlorki i siarczany. W celu zminimalizowania tego zagrożenia w pracy rozważono zastosowanie w obszarze reaktora PZW technologii Przepuszczalnej Bariery Reaktywnej (PRB). W technologii tej zanieczyszczenia usuwane są in-situ poprzez przepływ wód przez odpowiednio dobrany materiał reaktywny. W tablicy 1 przedstawiono podstawowe parametry bariery, które należy określić, aby

Konechnyj rezul'tat obluchenija teplovymi nejtronami javljaetsja funkciej padajushhego potoka nejtronov. Poskol'ku plotnost' potoka teplovyh nejtronov v tkani bystro padaet (sloj polovinnogo pogloshhenija Approximately-Equal-To 1,8 sm), dlja obespechenija vysokih doz v glubine na poverhnost' dolzhny popadat' bol'shie dozy. Pojetomu reakcii legkih, kishechnika, kostnogo mozga i slizistoj obolochki zavisjat glavnym obrazom, ot gamma-obluchenija v rezul'tate zahvata nejtronov vyshelezhashhimi tkanjami. Obluchenie golovy u sobak pri nejtronnom potoke 1.4 x 10{sup 14}/cm{sup 2} privodit k jepiljacii, jeriteme i vlazhnoj deskvamacii s soputstvujushhim ugneteniem krovotvorenija. Odnako v techenie 25-30 dnej na''ljudaetsja vosstanovlenie dejatel'nosti kostnogo mozga i izlechenie kozhnyh porazhenij.

Рост производственных объемов порошковых изделий, изготовленных методом ультразвукового распылительного пиролиза способствовал успешному внедрению данного метода для синтеза порошка серебра из раствора серебра нитрата. / Nanotehnologija pripada ključnim inovativnim tehnologijama za proizvodnju prahova. Raspršivanje prahova ultrazvučnom pirolizom višestruko je korišćeno za formiranje čestica nanoprahova metala, oksida i kompozita. Ovaj rad odnosi se na nanočestice srebra, bakra i zlata, formiranih ultrazvučnom pirolizom korišćenjem horizontalnog i vertikalnog reaktora. Direktna sinteza nanočestica na bazi Ru-TiO2 i RuO2-TiO2 sa strukturom sastavljenom od jezgra i ljuske dalje je ispitivana. Molarni udeli prekursora, tip rastvarača i procesna temperatura imaju odlučujuću ulogu u formiranju čestica sa ovom kombinovanom strukturom. Zatim, ispitivan je uticaj reakcionih parametara (temperatura, vreme zadržavanja, koncentracija rastvora i frekvencija ultrazvuka na morfološke karakteristike pripremanih nanočestica. Uvećanje temperature od 150°C do 1000°C vodi od jednog nepravilnog oblika do proizvodnje sfernih čestica. Nakon toga, bio je predložen model formiranja metalnih nanočestica od kapi aerosola. Korišćenjem procesa raspršivanja preko ultrazvučne pirolize idealno sferne čestice dobijene su na temperaturi ispod tačke topljenja. Uređaj za određivanje raspodele veličine čestica korišćenjem različite pokretljivosti čestica u elektrostatičkom polju korišćen je za on-line analizu tokom proizvodnje čestica. Sakupljanje nanočestica izvršeno je u elektrostatičkom polju. Uve

    medir este valor en un reactor de flujo reducido, pero se estan estudiando algunos que pueden servir a ese fin. Los autores resefian tres de las tecnicas que ofrecen mejores perspectivas. Los estudios realizados con el proposito de construit un espectrometro pequeflo para neutrones rapidos con buenas caracteristicas de estabilidad, poder de resolucion y sensibilidad, destinado a la medicion de espectros neutronicos dentro del reactor, en el intervalo energetico de las decenas o centenares de kilovoltios, se han concentrado en el empleo del analisis de la forma de los impulsos (con el fin de rechazar los sucesos iniciados por los rayos gamma en los contadores proporcionales de retroceso de hidtogeno) y el empleo de la colimacion en los detectores tipo sandwich, a base de {sup 6}LiF en un material solido, a fin de aumentar el poder de resolucion. Se ha construido cierto ndmero de instrumentes de este tipo y se esta estudiando la forma en que se comportan frente a los neutrones monocineticos y los neutrones de un reactor. Recurriendo a la tecnica de rechazo de los rayos gamma, se ha podido reducir varios cientos de veces la sensibilidad del contador de retroceso frente a dichos rayos y de esta manera, el limite inferior de aplicacion del instrumente se ha extendido por lo menos hasta los 30 keV. En cuanto a los instrumentes de semiconductors a base de {sup 6}Li, se han observado poderes de resolucion de hasta 70 keV de amplitud total en correspondencia con la mitad del maximo (1,5%) para la suma de los impulsos, en la irradiaeion con neutrones termicos.
