| Summary: | On the basis of the “hot” cells of the Institute for Nuclear Research of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine reconstitution
technique of VVER reactor vessel metal surveillance specimens, and the main provisions of the reactor
vessel radiation loading monitoring procedures and surveillance specimen dosimetry are described in the paper. The
first results of the reconstituted irradiated surveillance specimen tests are presented, which together with the data on the
radiation loading of the reactor vessel provide information for substantiation of the reactor safe operation term from the
point of view of the brittle fracture resistance. |
