Validation of the MCNP model of formation of the background wires current of the self-powered neutron detectors of VVER-1000 [PDF]
The article presents the results of the numerical simulation of the signal formation process of the background wires of self-powered neutron detectors (SPND) under the action of gamma radiation in the VVER-1000 core using MCNP code. The validation of the

Ultrasonic monitoring of the VVER-1000 FA form change
A procedure has been developed to determine the geometrical parameters of fuel assemblies (FA) by an ultrasonic pulse-echo technique used for all types of light-water reactor FAs. The measurement of geometrical parameters is achieved through the pairwise installation of ultrasonic transducers opposite the FA spacer grid faces at a distance of not more ...

Multiple usage of thorium-based fuel in a VVER-1000 reactor
This paper considers the use of unconventional fuel in nuclear power reactors, using the example of a VVER-type unit, in order to find out the possibility of saving natural fissile uranium nuclei. Saving fissile uranium is one of the important tasks, the solution of which will give time for the development of a two-component nuclear power industry that

Experimental Research for CHF Sensitivity of Heat Flux Distribution under IVR Conditions
In‐vessel retention (IVR) through external reactor vessel cooling (ERVC) is one of the most effective severe accident mitigation measures in the nuclear power plants. The most influential issues on the IVR strategy are in‐vessel core melt evolution, the heat fluxes imposed on the lower head, and the external cooling of reactor pressurized vessel (RPV).

Uranium Recovery from Phosphates for Self‐Sufficient Nuclear Power in the Eastern Mediterranean
Production of phosphate fertilizers (PF), without uranium recovery, amounts to dispersing uranium compounds on agricultural fields. These compounds are naturally hidden in phosphate rock deposits prior to processing. Such a dispersion is a cumulative environmental damage, that may become rather catastrophic in few hundred years, under the current rates
