It is shown that the saturation of the expansion of the diamond crystal lattice during irradiation in a reactor depends not
only on the temperature but also on the intensity of the irradiation. Expansion saturation decreases with decreasing irradiation
intensity. The temperature influences saturation expansion indirectly via an increase of the effectiveness of the annealing
of defects, and the intensity of irradiation stimulates additional annealing by increasing its duration. The same level of
the saturation of expansion of the diamond lattice, specifically, 2.75%, can be attained at irradiation temperatures 80 and
300°C if the diamond is irradiated with neutron flux density 1012 and 1014 sec–1·cm–2, respectively. 相似文献

The characteristics of sodium permeation through graphite and the accompanying swelling of the graphite are examined for the
central rotating column of a BN-600 reactor.
The sodium transport parameters when sodium comes into contact with graphite at 350–500°C for up to 400 h are determined experimentally.
Under these conditions, the permeation parameter is (0.13–1.3)·10−11 m2/sec, which corresponds to an effective diffusion coefficient (0.2–2)·10−11 m2/sec. The ratio of the increment to the graphite volume and the sodium mass there is ∼0.85.

Experimental data are presented on the change of the pycnometric density and unit-cell volume of beryllium irradiated in an
SM reactor to neutron fluence 14·1022 cm–2. The behavior of the unit-cell volume as a function of the neutron fluence is similar to the data for other metals. This
and data on the volume change in beryllium oxide, where a large amount of gas is also formed during irradiation, make it possible
to evaluate critically the assertion that helium forms a solid substitution solution. It is proposed that helium is confined
in small accumulations. 相似文献

Laboratory investigations of the strength and chemical resistance of the final product of thermochemical reprocessing of reactor
graphite wastes in the Al-TiO2-C system are presented. The 137Cs and 90Sr leaching rate, which is determined for samples synthesized from a charge with real irradiated graphite from an AM research
reactor, does not exceed 10−6 g/(cm2·day) at the 28th day.

Some results of comprehensive investigations of the radioactive contamination of graphite masonry from shutdown commercial
uranium-graphite reactors at the Siberian Chemical Combine are reported. The objective of the investigations was to study
the distribution of radionuclides and to determine the contamination level. In the present paper information about60Co in the gaphite of the I-1 and él-2 reactors is reported. Its content in the samples was measured by γ-spectrometry. There
were about 250 graphite samples from the I-1 reactor and 200 from él-2. According to the data obtained, the surface contamination
level of the blocks can be taken as the same for the entire core within the limits of the errors presented. The average60Co contamination of the graphite in the surface of blocks from the I-1 core is 5600

Conclusion Hence, the thermal coefficient of volume expansion of graphite is related exponentially to the height of the crystals and
the density of the material and depends on the specific surface of the structure and micropores. The coefficient of linear
thermal expansion of graphite is inversely proportional to the dynamic modulus of elasticity. The negative change in α of
graphite on neutron irradiation: changes nonmonotonically with the neutron fluence and the radiation temperature — initially
it increases, reaches a maximum, then falls and again increases; is inversely proportional to the power 1/3 of its initial
value, to the rate of steady radiation creep and the neutron fluence; is determined by the degree of perfection of the crystal
structure and the concentration of spherolites (carboids) of the elements of the microstructure. Their increase facilitates
a fall in α below its initial value; it does not recover completely on thermal annealing to 2300 K.
The relative change in α of carbon-carbon composition materials when irradiated to a neutron fluence of 3·1020 cm−2 and a temperature from 320 K to 2100 K does not exceed 10%. The complex nature of the radiation change makes it difficult
to calculate the value of α, and hence it has to be determined in experiments up to the resource dose.

Experimental and computational methods for monitoring the fluence of fast neutrons on the most critical structural components
of the VVR-M reactor are presented. The dynamics of the accumulation of the fluence at the bases of the experimental channels
and the bearing lattice of the core over the last 10 years of reactor operation is presented. A method of preirradiation of
samples of the main structural alloy CAB-1 under real conditions in the VVR-M core was developed. This made it possible to
reach a fluence up to 2.5·1022 cm−2 on the samples. Over 40 years of reactor operation the maximum fluence on the structural components reached ∼1.7·1022 cm−2. The study of the mechanical properties of forcibly irradiated samples will make it possible to draw conclusions about the
remaining period of safe operation of the reactor. This is important for practical applications and is of economic value.

The results of investigations of the radiation creep of GR-280 graphite under a high compression load (about 15 MPa) after
irradiation in a BOR-60 reactor at 520°C to fast-neutron fluence 1.2·1022 cm−2 are presented. It is shown that the fluence dependence of the creep deformation, calculated using the standard relation as
the difference of the change in the dimensions of loaded and control samples, is anomalous. The linear thermal expansion coefficients
of loaded and control samples are found as functions of the neutron fluence under the same conditions. It is noted that the
linear thermal expansion coefficient of the samples irradiated under a load is much higher than that of the control samples.
Simmons' theorem is used to take account of the effect of a load on the linear thermal expansion coefficient, and the dimensional
changes of graphite exposed to radiation and the dependence of the true creep deformation on the neutron fluence are calculated.
It is shown that these dependences are close to linear in the experimental fluence range (0.4–1.2)·1022 cm−2.

Models of absorbing elements with a promising material for the control organs of nuclear reactors have been tested in the
SM reactor – pelleted and powder kernels with different composition based on dysprosium hafnate in a mixture with boron carbide.
The neutron fluence with energy >0.1 MeV averaged over a kernel volume was (0.9–1.3)·1022 cm–2 at the moment the tests were completed for different samples. The temperature at the center of the kernels of the absorber
element models during irradiation was 620–1100°C in channel No. 4 and 400–500°C in channel No. 9. The results of the materials
science studies show that on the whole the serviceability of the absorbing elements based on pellets and powders of dysprosium
hafnate is high. 相似文献

The world’s first nuclear power plant operated for almost 48 years. Over this period of time, the neutron fluence on the graphite
masonry reached ∼1022 cm−2, which resulted in activation of the impurities present in the graphite. During operation, incidents occurred with loss of
seal and sometimes loss of integrity of the fuel-element claddings in some cells and particles of the fuel and steam-water
mixture entered the graphite masonry. This resulted in radiation contamination with a complex radionuclide composition. Experimental
information about the content and distribution of radionuclides in the spent nuclear graphite is needed in order to plan methods
and periods of time for disassembly and salvaging of the graphite masonry of the stopped reactor taking account of the dose
loads on the workers and the ecological safety norms.
The problems which can be solved on the basis of the present work included the determination of the 14C and 3H contents by liquid-scintillation β spectrometry, analysis of the actinide content by direct γ spectrometry, and neutron-activation analysis followed by γ spectrometry. These investigation yielded new data on the content of fission products and activation impurities in graphite.

The basic principles of measuring and analyzing nuclear-reactor noise are described. The results obtained for the IBR-2 reactor
by the noise method are presented. It is shown that analysis of the noise spectra of the power and the main reactor parameters
makes it possible to find deviations from normal reactor operation at the level 10–6 ∆k/ k of the change in reactivity. 相似文献

The most convenient methods for measuring the temperature in nuclear reactors are enumerated in this paper, specifically thermocouples,
fusible metal inserts, and diamond probes. Their advantages and disadvantages are listed and data are presented on their use
for measuring the irradiation temperatures of containers with witness samples of steel in VVER-1000 and -440 reactor vessels.
It is found that the sample temperature in these assemblies in the VVER-1000 is 300 ± 2°C, as measured by fusible inserts,
while thermocouples in chains in the VVER-440 indicated 270°C. The advantage of the method employing diamond probes is their
small size, but the range of possible direct measurements for this technique is restricted to a maximum neutron fluence of
1018 cm−2 (for neutron energies above 0.5 MeV).

Data from a study of radiation damage to the vessel of a reactor from the retired atomic icebreaker Lenin are used to determine
the radiation embrittlement characteristics of the metal. Irradiation by a low neutron flux of 1010–1011 cm−2sec−1 at the beginning of operation is found to correspond to more intense embrittlement of the metal. Then, apparently, as harmful
elements are depleted in the matrix of the metal, embrittlement is reduced until there is a change in sign relative to the
standard curve obtained for neutron fluxes above 1013 cm−2sec−1. It is proposed that, because of irradiation by low fluxes of neutrons in the peripheral zones of reactor vessels during
some stages of operation, these zones may be damaged to a greater extent than those lying closer to the core. The irradiating
neutron flux is a factor that influences the embrittlement of reactor vessel materials, so there is some interest in studying
how material is damaged in the vessels of power reactors with low radiation loads which are under development. This is also
needed in order to evaluate the efficacy of measures undertaken to reduce the effect of neutron irradiation on reactor vessels.

The results of a study of the swelling and in-reactor creep of EI-847, EP-172, and ChS-68 austenitic steel after irradiation
in materials science assemblies in the range 330–700°C and damaging dose 20–96 dpa are presented. The temperature dependences
of the volume change of steel were obtained from measurements of the diameter of unloaded ampuls. It is shown that the swelling
of the steel increases linearly with increasing tangential stress. The modulus of in-reactor creep in the interval 410–630°C
for the steel investigated in the cold-deformed state varies in the range (0.5–3)·10–6 MPa–1·dpa–1. For lower and higher temperatures, the creep modulus increases to (5–8)·10–6 MPa–1·dpa–1. 相似文献

A non-conventional X-ray source which is based on the production of electron channeling radiation in a diamond crystal has been installed at the radiation source ELBE. The brilliant electron beam with an average current of up to 200 μA allows to reach photon rates of quasi-monochromatic channeling radiation between 1010 s−1 and 1011 s−1 per 10% bandwidth. The photon energy can be tuned by variation of the beam energy. On-line X-ray monitoring was realised at high beam currents using a Compton spectrometer. Monochromisation of channeling radiation and bremsstrahlung background reduction has been investigated applying X-ray diffraction at a highly ordered pyrolytic graphite crystal. 相似文献

Conclusions The conditions have been proposed for performing modeling experiments making it possible to predict the accumulation of hydrogen
isotopes in carbon materials which are in contact with a tokamak plasma acting as a source of particles having a flux density
of between 3×1016 and 3×1019 cm−2·sec−1. By analyzing the reemission fluxes formed in the stopping zone of the particles implanted from the plasma it is suggested
that the action of the plasma as regards the sorption of hydrogen is identical to that of annealing the material in an atmosphere
of hydrogen isotopes at a pressure of 1–103 Pa and a temperature of 1200–1700 K. The quantity of absorbed deuterium in POCO, UAM, RGT-B, and USB increases as the temperature
is lowered and the pressure is raised (1500 K, 0.66 Pa→1200 K, 133 Pa). As regards their sorption of deuterium, POCO, UAM,
and RGT behave similarly. There is a tendency for the sorption capacity of materials doped with boron to be reduced. In a
class of itself is the isotropic material USB, whose sorption capacity is a factor of 10–100 lower than that of undoped graphite.
The introduction into these materials of radiation-induced defects (T=300 K) by means of ion irradiation in the range 0.1–1 dpa results in a continuous rise in the deuterium sorption capacity
by a factor of 10–100 (up to 10−2 atomic fraction). The USB graphite demonstrates record low increments in the sorption capacity. In the fluence range identical
to 1–10 dpa the sorption capacity of carbon materials for hydrogen is almost constant. The process of the sorption of hydrogen
isotopes can be described as the filling of two ensembles of traps, deep traps which are difficult to access and readily accessible
Langmuir traps. In the RGT-B materials containing 0.1% of boron, the traps introduced by irradiation with 300-keV neon ions
vanish on annealing in a vacuum (T=1800 K, t=1 min).

The release of Wigner energy from the graphite of the inner thermal column of the ASTRA research reactor has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry and simultaneous differential scanning calorimetry/synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction between 25 °C and 725 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C min−1. The graphite, having been subject to a fast-neutron fluence from ∼1017 to ∼1020 n cm−2 over the life time of the reactor at temperatures not exceeding 100 °C, exhibits Wigner energies ranging from 25 to 572 J g−1 and a Wigner energy accumulation rate of ∼7 × 10−17 J g−1/n cm−2. The shape of the rate-of-heat-release curves, e.g., maximum at ca. 200 °C and a fine structure at higher temperatures, varies with sample position within the inner thermal column, i.e., the distance from the reactor core. Crystal structure of samples closest to the reactor core (fast-neutron fluence >1.5−5.0 × 1019 n cm−2) is destroyed while that of samples farther from the reactor core (fast-neutron fluence <1.5−5.0 × 1019 n cm−2) is intact, with marked swelling along the c-axis. The dependence of the c lattice parameter on temperature between 25 °C and 200 °C as determined by Rietveld refinement for the non-amorphous samples leads to the expected microscopic thermal expansion coefficient along the c-axis of ∼ 26 × 10−6 °C−1. However, at 200 °C, coinciding with the maximum in the rate-of-heat-release curves, the rate of thermal expansion abruptly decreases indicating a crystal lattice relaxation. The 14C activity in the inner thermal column graphite ranges from 6 to 467 kBq g−1. The graphite of the inner thermal column of the ASTRA research reactor has been treated by heating to 400 °C for 24 h in a hot-cell facility prior to interim storage. 相似文献

The dependence of the change of reactivity on energy production is obtained from an analysis of IBR-2 operation during the
period 1982–2006. It is shown that at the start of reactor operation, aside from the pure effect of burnup, additional positive
effects which are most likely associated with fuel densification and structural change of the core material operate. These
effects decrease with time and go to zero. After 40000 MW·h only the effect of pure burnup remains, and from this moment the
reactivity decreases linearly with coefficient kb = −4.3·10−5%/(MW·h). A formula is obtained for calculating the coefficient of energy release at any moment of operation of the reactor.
