Abstract

Three experts from the Boris Kidric Institute of Nuclear sciences have visited the the Institute of theoretical and experimental physics in Moscow from 17-23 October 1976. The objective of this visit was to: a) obtain information about operational characteristics of the TVRS reactor with 80% enriched fuel, and experiences about utilization of this fuel in the TVRS in Moscow; b) getting acquainted with the elements of safety analysis related to conversion of TVRS reactor core to new fuel into and its utilization; and c) exchange of opinion about the program for introducing the new 80% enriched fuel into the RA reactor core. This report contains the results achieved during the visit. The most important conclusions drawn are as follows. a) The visit was successful although answers to some important questions were not obtained. b) After analyzing the obtained information and after obtaining the first experiences related to application of the new fuel in the RA reactor core and final decision about the operation equilibrium cycle with the new fuel, another visit to Moscow would be very useful. c.) New dispersion highly enriched fuel is much more reliable during operation than the 2% enriched metal uranium fuel (presently used in the  More>>

New dispersion highly enriched fuel is much more reliable during operation than the 2% enriched metal uranium fuel (presently used in the Ra reactor). d) There have been no objection concerning our program for conversion of RA reactor to operation with the new fuel (transition regime). e) additional information will be demanded concerning maximum permissible burnup level of the 80% enriched dispersion fuel. Optimum equilibrium burnup cycle will be revised according to the maximum burnup conditioned by RA reactor parameters. f) Methods for thermal analysis of the fuel elements which is applied at the RA reactor was found to be equivalent with the method applied for calculations at the TVRS in Moscow. [Serbo-Croat] Grupa od tri saradnika IBK boravila je u Institutu za teorijsku i eksperimentalnu fiziku u Moskvi u vremenu od 17.10. do 23.10.1976. godine. Cilj posete je bio: a.) upoznavanje eksploatacionih karakteristika reaktora TVRS sa 80% obogacenim gorivom, kao i iskustva u vezi sa koriscenjem tog goriva u reaktoru TVRS u Moskvi; b.) upoznavanje sa elementima sigurnosnih analiza u vezi sa uvodjenjem i kriscenjem tog goriva u reaktoru TVRS kao i c.) razmena gledista o programu prevodjenja reaktora RA na novo 80% obogaceno gorivo. U izvestaju su prikazani rezultati ove posete. Osnovni zakljucci do kojih se doslo jesu: a.) poseta je bila korisna i pored toga sto na neka pitanja nije dobijen odgovor; b.) posle obrade dobijenih informacija, posle sticanja prvih iskustava o koriscenju novog goriva u reaktoru RA kao i posle donosenja definitivnog suda o ravnoteznom rezimu reaktora RA sa novim gorivom, bilo bi veoma korisno da se izvrsi jos jedna poseta Institutu u Moskvi; c.) novo disperziono gorivo je mnogo pouzdanije u eksploataciji od starog 2% obogacenog metalnog goriva (kakvo je sada u reaktoru RA); d.) nije bilo primedbi sa aspekta sigurnosti na nas program prevodjenja (prelazni rezim) reaktora RA na novo gorivo; e.) zatrazice se dopunske informacije o maksimalnom dopustivom stepenu izgaranja 80% obogacenog disperzionog goriva i po potrebi izvrsice se blagovremena revizija predvidjenog optimalnog ravnoteznog rezima izgaranja za reaktor RA (baziranog na maksimalnom izgaranju goriva koje omogucuju parametri reaktora RA); f.) metodologija termickog proracuna gorivnih kanala, koja se primenjuje na reaktor RA ocenjena je kao ekvivalentna postupku koji se primenjuje za proracun kanala reaktora TVRS u Moskvi (author)}
