Safety assessment methodology and analysis of production during plutonium recycling at the state science center of the Russian federation-scientific-research institute of nuclear reactors

摘要

The methodology and criteria for safety assessment of nuclear fuel cycle technological processes are proposed, substantiated, and checked in large-scale recycling of plutonium (500 kg). The results of comprehensive investigations of the radiation-ecological conditions during the experimental production of mixed uranium-plutonium fuel and fuel assemblies at the State Science Center of the Russian Federation- Scientific-Research Institute of Nuclear Reactors are presented.
