50 years after the start-up of BR-2 — The first fast reactor in Europe
February 14, 2006 is the 50th anniversary of the start-up of the first fast reactor in Europe — the BR-2. This was an important step in the development of fast reactors for nucler power production.

Thermionic Gap with a p Semiconductor
It is shown that the current-voltage characteristics of a thermionic converter with a p semiconductor in the interelectrode gap should correspond to the case of a thermionic converter with a n semiconductor. O...

Prospects for Using Mixed Oxide Fuel in Fast Sodium-Cooled Reactors
When designing new fast reactors, it is desirable to increase as much as possible the breeding occurring in the core in order to ensure the minimum excess reactivity for burnup on the one hand and a closed fue...

Calculation of the Economic Parameters of a Nuclear Power Plant
It is assumed that labor costs uniquely determine production costs. The production system is simulated by a “black box.” All cost components are fed into the input in real-time, starting with the first capital...

Thermal current generation in semiconductor gaps
The possibilities of converting heat directly into electricity at a current-conducting contact with a discrete temperature drop are investigated. The model of a nondegenerate electron gas is used. It is shown ...

Aspects of the economics of fast reactors
At present, the thermal reactors have the economic advantage. The gain in the fuel component of fast reactors, it must still be acknowledged, still cannot compensate the loss in the specific capital investment...

Some general principles for improving nuclear safety
After the events at Chernobyl', specific measures were adopted and continue to be implemented to increase the safety of both operating reactors and those under construction. But safety-related efforts cannot b...
