LIFE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME FOR LONG TERM OPERATION OF REACTORS AND NUCLEAR FACILITIES: AGEING MANAGEMENT OF RESEARCH REACTORS IN ARGENTINA

摘要

The reactor RA-0 is a critical facility for the performance of exercises for research, education and training. It is located in the city of Cordoba, in the building of the Faculty of Physical Sciences. Its rated power is 1 W, which minimizes the shielding requirements for civil work and dispenses with a core cooling system. The core consists of two concentric and removable tanks of anodized aluminium with an active volume of 70 1. Moderator is demineralized light water, which enters through the bottom of the external tank with an overflow at the top of the inner tank that is removable.
