Research to substantiate the use of nuclear fuel cycles for reactors that are considered in the structure of nuclear energy of Ukraine
Розробка перспективних 12-18 місячних паливних циклів для АЕС України. Дослідження впливу високотемпературних перегрівів та циклічних змін температури на характеристики сплаву 42ХНМ і зварних з’єднань у виробах з нього для обґрунтування використання в якості конструкційного матеріалу для толерантного палива енергетичних реакторів.

Complex problems of development of nuclear technologies and nuclear energy include a number of specific physical and materials science tasks in substantiation of operation of existing elements of nuclear installations, design and technological developments of perspective elements of active zones, experimental and computational developments on designing active zones with improved fuel cycles. neutron-physical and economic indicators and justification of their application for of reactors of Ukraine, substantiation of thermophysical reliability of Westinghouse fuel storage in SSVYAP VP ZNPP, development of reactor models, in-hull devices (VKP) and the active zone WWER-1000 to perform calculations of the fluence of fast neutrons on VKP reactor vessel and energy release in VKP, conducting research for the active zone of a small modular reactor, research and testing to study processes and phenomena occurring in materials at design and design accidents.
This study develops an advanced 12-month fuel cycle and compares it with the traditional cycles. The calculations show that the advanced fuel cycle uses an average of 1.25 fuel assemblies less than traditional cycles, and the fuel assemblies reach a higher burnup. An advanced fuel cycle was also developed with a lifetime of 490.8 effective days, which, taking into account the reloading time, makes up almost 18 months. The developed advanced fuel cycle meets the criteria for the peaking factor and reactivity coefficient and will be proposed to JSC NNEGC Energoatom for implementation. An analysis of the design basis accidents progression for VVER-1000 reactor with first circuit depressurization was performed. It was shown that under all design basis conditions, decreasing the coolant flow rate through the core initiates departure from nucleate boiling and fuel rod cladding temperature growth. It was found that the maximum fuel rod cladding temperature is 1078 °C in the event of a MCP rupture. Investigations of the dummy fuel rods were carried out. Mechanical tests of the 42ХНМ alloy dummy fuel rods after a short-term heating in a water vapor environment to a temperature of 1000...1200 °C were conducted. It was shown that the 42ХНМ cladding strength limit is in the range of 748-823 МPа (1008-1108 kgf), and the relative elongation is 48-54%. Fracture occurs in the middle area of the fuel rod cladding, which confirms reliability and integrity of the welds made using the electric arc welding operating modes. The lowest fracture force was observed in the fuel rod dummy tested at 1200 °C in water vapor. The paper presents the results of investigations of the corrosion rate of alternative materials for tolerant fuel cladding of austenitic stainless steel grade X18H10T and chromium-nickel alloy 42ХНМ in the water vapor environment produced by OSCAR PG LTD (Nikopol). It was shown that 42ХНМ alloy could be used for fuel rod cladding as an alternative to zirconium alloys.

Saving a scientific data set occurs in two stages:
1.) Creating a data set
Enter the name of the set, a brief description of the set (annotation), and click the “Create set” button. After that, a draft data set will be automatically created, which you can save for further work with the set. The system will redirect you to the “Data set information” page.
2.) Filling in the data
On the “Data set information” page, you need to fill in all the fields related to the data set and upload the files.
Please note! Each file is uploaded separately. This is done to ensure the stable operation of the system.
Once you have filled in the information about the scientific data set and added the necessary files, you can save the draft or send the data to the system.
Please note! Once the data has been sent, you cannot change it.
Drafts are necessary for storing the data set and editing it before sending.
All accounts on the NRA website go through a standard registration procedure and are verified. However, in order to obtain additional features, such as publishing open reviews of academic texts, verification by affiliation is required.
To obtain the status “verified”, you must change your primary email address to a corporate one, which is tied to a scientific or educational institution.
For example: user@ukrintei.ua, user@nas.gov.ua
After confirming your corporate email address, your account will be automatically verified by affiliation.
If your email address is corporate, but your account does not have a verification mark, you need to write to us at the email address NRAT@ukrintei.ua. After verification, we will add your address to the database, and your account will be verified.
After completing the verification procedure for affiliation, you can change the primary email address to a convenient one for you, without losing your status during the current verification.
You only need to verify for affiliation once.
* We use corporate addresses from the Unified State Database on Education and the State Register of Scientific Institutions Supported by the State
To search for news published on the official website of NRАT in the “News” section, you need to enter one word, several words, or an exact phrase in the search field. Different terms are separated by spaces.
The search is performed everywhere – in the title and the news text.
For a more comprehensive result, it is recommended to use word stems (parts of words without endings).
When using multiple words for the search, they are combined using one of the logical methods described below.
By default, the logical connector “and” is used. In this case, search results will include all news releases that contain the specified words, even if they are located separately from each other and are in different parts of the text.
Example: Search phrase: OECD report. Search result: all news containing the words “report” and “OECD” in the text and in the title, both together and separately.
If a phrase or phrase is enclosed in quotation marks (“), the results will include all publications where this exact phrase or phrase is found.
Example: Search phrase: “OECD report.” Search result: all news containing the exact phrase “OECD report.”
If you know the publication date of the news or are interested in a specific time frame in which they were published on the website, you can select such a date or date range in the additional field that looks like a calendar. The date is entered in the format year-month-day and confirmed by clicking on the corresponding date in the calendar dropdown. You can enter a date or choose one by browsing through the calendar by months and years. By default, the interval starts from the oldest date (2018-01-23) and ends with the current date.
You can also use one or more hashtags, which are located under the search field on the right side of the “News” page.
Please note: The search for academic texts is carried out in a separate search window at the following link https://nrat.ukrintei.ua/searchdb.
