Data about operation and utilization of the RA in 1976 - Report, Annex I; Prilog I - Podaci o radu i iskoriscenosti reaktora RA u 1976. godini - Izvestaj -

Abstract

During 1976 there were significant discrepancies in RA reactor operation in comparison with the operating plan made at the end of 1975. Some discrepancies were planned but not all could be foreseen due to the following reasons: no possibility to estimate the precise schedule of aluminium tubes for fuel channels delivery from the; USSR; no means to estimate precise time for repairs that were never performed or were not done during previous 6 years; inability to estimate the time needed for experiments within the program of transfer to highly enriched fuel (which was successfully finished) since some of these experiments were never done before. Some repairs were not planned since unpredicted failures occurred. Six fuel exchanges were planned, but they were somewhat delayed. Detailed data about the planned and achieved reactor operation are shown in this annex as well as interruptions. There were 12 shorter interruptions and safety shutdowns which was in total for 64 hours. Reactor was operated at nominal power of 6.5 MW. There have been no significant accidents, but two cases could be characterised as accidental according to their occurrence not according to the effects. The first was break of the tube next to the heavy water  More>>

[Serbo-Croat] Reaktor RA je u toku 1976. godine radio sa znatnijim odstupanjima od plana rada za 1976. godinu, donetom krajem 1975. godine. Medjutim, ni ova procena mogucih odstupanja nije mogla biti korektna iz sledecih, razloga: nemogucnost da se predvidi tacan rok isporuke cevi od specijalne aluminijumske legure iz SSSR za izradu tehnoloskih kanala, nemogucnost da se predvidi tacno vreme potrebno za remonte kakvi ili nisu radjeni ranije ili su radjeni pre vise od 6 godina pod povoljnijim uslovima, nemogucnost da se predvidi tacno vreme za eksperimente u okviru (uspesno provedenog) programa prevodjenja reaktora RA na novo visokoobogaceno gorivo, posto neki od ovih eksperimenata takodje nikada ranije nije radjen. Sem toga bilo je i nepredvidjenih vecih remontnih radova zbog nepredvidjenih kvarova. Planirano je 6 izmena goriva koje su ostvarene sa zakasnjenjem. Podaci o planiranom i ostvarenom radu reaktora u 1976. godini prikazani su u ovom izvestaju kao i podaci o prekidu rada. Kracih prekida i sigurnosnih zaustavljanja je bilo 12 u ukupnom trajanju od 64 casa. Reaktor je radio na nominalnoj snazi od 6.5 MW. Akcidenata vecih razmera nije bilo, medjutim dva slucaja mogu se opisati kao akcidentalne situacije po nacinu kako su nastali. Prvi je prskanje cevi kod lezaja teskovodne pumpe a drugi kontaminacija hale i hodnika nastala prilikom pripreme masine za izmenu goriva (izlivanje teske vode). Ovaj prilog sadrzi i podatke o koriscenju eksperimentalnog prostora i iskoriscenosti reaktora.}
