Radioecological state of the territory and water area in Guba Andreev

The radioecological conditions which developed on the territory over the long operating time of the object of the naval fleet in Guba Andreev are described. The results of an analysis of the sources of the real and potential danger and measures to prevent dangerous effects for the environment and the workers at the time remediation work is performed are discussed. __________ Translated from Atomnaya énergiya, Vol. 101, No. 1, pp. 49–55, July, 2006.     

陶艺的文化性与功能

中国古陶艺制品造型,釉色,装饰等艺术符号都与每时期的阶段性精神和物质生活相联系,但在"现代艺术"文化认识领域中,往往从理论思维角度把陶艺实用目的的物质性排斥在文化范畴之外。艺术常常强调物质的观赏性,而陶艺的实用功能就是这种文化类型的主体,陶艺的文化性和功能性,具有实用和审美文化的高度叠合,永久地承载着实用功能和精神功能两大内容。     

Unsteady effects and heat-transfer when starting up power plant

The results of experimental study of unsteady effects on local heat transfer coefficients caused by abruptly increasing of the gas flow temperature in the inlet section of a cylindrical channel are presented.     

Influence of Reaction Parameters on the Hydrogenolysis of Hydroxymatairesinol Over Carbon Nanofibre Supported Palladium Catalysts

The density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) calculations were applied to investigate the interaction of a Pt₆ particle with the ZSM-5 zeolite framework. The electronic structure of the metal particle is strongly affected by the interaction with basic framework oxygens and acid sites of the zeolite support. Adsorption on basic sites (E_ads = 6 kcal/mol) favors the formation of the electron enriched metal cluster. Interaction of the platinum cluster with the acid site characterized by stabilization energy of 47 kcal/mol results in oxidation of the metal particle and suppression of Brønsted acidity of the support. The hypothesis is put forward that the oxidized platinum particle can function as an active site for the alkane isomerisation on platinum supported high silica zeolites.     

The Geometry of D-Decomposition of a Two-Dimensional Plane of Arbitrary Coefficients of the Characteristic Polynomial of a Discrete System

The D-decomposition of a two-dimensional plane of arbitrary coefficients of a discrete characteristic polynomial is studied. The geometry of the boundary curve is analyzed and its common properties with a linear discrete system of any order are described. Example are given.     

Neural-Net Analysis of the Plasticity of ÉP-450 Ferrite–Martensite Steel with Different Alloying Element Concentrations

The results of a computational experiment with a neural-net model simulating the effect of the chemical composition on the plastic properties of ÉP-450 steel are presented. It is shown that computer-aided development of reactor steel with prescribed properties is, in principle, possible.     

SVBR-75/100 Multipurpose Modular Low-Power Fast Reactor with Lead–Bismuth Coolant

The results of development work on the SVBR-75/100 modular fast reactor cooled by lead–bismuth coolant are presented. The design is based on the experience gained operating reactors in nuclear-powered submarines. The SVBR-75/100 reactor is inherently safe because of its low power, the chemical inertness and high boiling point of the lead–bismuth coolant, and the integrated basin-type arrangement of the first-loop equipment. This eliminates the conflict between the safety and economic requirements that is characteristic of conventional-type reactors. The lower power makes it possible to build the reactor in a factory and deliver the reactor using any form of transportation to the nuclear power plant site. All safety systems operate passively. Most of these systems are used as normal-operating systems. This creates conditions for multipurpose applications of such reactor modules in developed and developing countries.     

Reliability of the Coolant Flow Rate Measuring System at the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant

Age assessment and control of the reliability of the coolant flow-rate measurement system of the RBMK-1500 reactor at the Ignalina nuclear power plant are examined. A statistical analysis is made of the data obtained from measurements of the techanical characteristics of SHADR-32M flow meters. A mathematical model of the aging of flow meters and reliability estimates is constructed. A strategy is developed for replacing SHADR; this strategy makes it possible to support the required relaibility of the entire coolant flow-rate measurement system.
