Types of magnetic fluid systems, technology of synthesis and perspectives of their application in medicine are considered. A special attention is paid to stabilization of the ferrofluids, namely by charge and by surfactant. A detailed description of the method of small-angle neutron scattering in the structural diagnostics of magnetic fluids is carried out, the features of neutron diffraction in the investigation of multicomponent and polydisperse ferrofluids are listed as well. Structural parameters of magnetic liquid systems are described depending on the conditions of their synthesis and methods of stabilization. It…

The problems of nuclear safety as a complex system are reviewed. It is shown that the reliability and safety of a nuclear power plant determined especially strict compliance with the priorities of the Security over the economic, political and other factors. Failure to observe this principle has become a real cause of severe accident, accompanied by the release of radionuclides into the environment. The lessons of Chernobyl remain unlearned, what confirmed the accident at the Fukushima-1 in Japan. The second edition includes an analysis of the radio-ecological aspects of four…

The mechanisms of radiation-stimulated influence on polymerization and amortization in films of fullerite C60 and C70, including doped non-iron metals, structural sensitization of carbazole-containing polymers supplemented by C60 molecules, defective states in nanotubes and linear polyhedral systems of isotactic polypropylene nanocomposites, poly (vinyl) chloride with multi-wall carbon nanotubes are considered. The given quantum-chemical calculations for systems of C60 molecules with non-metallic metals Sn, Ti, Fe, Cu, In, Bi indicate the possibility of formation of ordinary and dimer complexes. The most stable among them were the polymer complexes C60-Sn-C60 and C60-Ti-C60.…

The results of the system analysis of unsolved thermophysical problems of increasing the operational reliability and safety of nuclear power plants of nuclear power plants with water-cooled reactors of the VVER type are presented. Considerable attention is paid to the approaches and ways of solving the problems of early operational detection and automatic diagnostics of the initial phases of potentially dangerous deviations in the parameters of thermal-hydraulic regimes of active zones on the basis of intelligent models for processing and analyzing stochastic diagnostic signals of standard systems of in-reactor monitoring…
