The monograph deals with the thermophysical aspects of potentially serious accidents in the reactor compartments of modern nuclear power plants. Examples are given of the emergence and development of design and beyond design basis accidents that took place in the world nuclear power industry. The most important aspects of the dynamics of heat exchange in typical emergency situations, as well as the calculation methodology of their accounting, are analyzed. With regard to possible severe accidents of nuclear power reactors, a number of ideas have been improved on the dynamics of…

The monograph deals with the thermophysical aspects of physical processes that are capable of initiating potentially damaging damages to their elements and systems during the operation of the reactor installations of the main energy types. Particular attention is paid to the causes of the emergence and development of latent damage in critical elements critical to the safety of nuclear power plants of the first circuit of reactors on thermal and fast neutrons. The features and the calculation methodology of the corresponding thermohydrodynamic and vibrational processes are analyzed, as well as…

The monograph deals with the thermophysical as well as material science aspects of a complex of non-scheduled processes and operational factors that can influence the reliability indicators of elements and systems of active zones of power nuclear reactors. The most important physical aspects of non-stationary thermal and hydrodynamic processes that are related to the stability of the coolant flow of the primary circuit in forced and natural circulation modes are considered. Particular attention is paid to the thermophysical aspects of the applied reliability theory from the standpoint of probabilistic analysis…

The monograph presents the causes of the accident at Chornobyl NPP, activities of primary importance on its elimination, the results of studies to determine the location and amount of fuel-containing materials and their physicochemical peculiarities. The characteristics of the radioactive aerosol are considered as well as formation mechanisms and migration routes of liquid radioactive waste. The peculiarities of the implementation of SIP projects are described, as well as a strategy for the further transformation of the Shelter object into an ecologically safe system. Designed for professionals dealing with the nuclear…
