Possibility of Various Types SNF Reprocessing at the PA Mayak exampled with AMB SNF

AbstractFor the purpose of reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel from the water-cooled graphite-moderated pressure-tube reactor named AMB from decomissioned Russian “Atom Peaceful Big”, modernization of the process flow-sheet of the RT-1 plant is being carried out at PA Mayak with participation of FSUE KRI and VNIINM. A particular AMB SNF feature is extremely broad range of fuel compounds with the main ones being the uranium-molybdenum metal, uranium oxide and uranium carbide compositions usually dispersed in magnesium or calcium. Wide range of fuel compositions required to amend SNF dissolution, extraction processing, evaporation of high-level radioactive wastes and vitrification of high-level radioactive wastes. The above set of laboratory research was completed with dynamic tests using samples of AMB from the water-cooled graphite-moderated pressure-tube reactor. Tests have shown the possibility of processing the entire range of AMB SNF at the radiochemical plant RT-1 plant of the PA Mayak. Thus, the ability of the RT-1 plant to process different fuel compositions, including the long-term research reactor fuel have been proved experimentally

Study of doubly strange systems using stored antiprotons

Bound nuclear systems with two units of strangeness are still poorly known despite their importance for many strong interaction phenomena. Stored antiprotons beams in the GeV range represent an unparalleled factory for various hyperon-antihyperon pairs. Their outstanding large production probability in antiproton collisions will open the floodgates for a series of new studies of systems which contain two or even more units of strangeness at the P‾ANDA experiment at FAIR. For the first time, high resolution γ-spectroscopy of doubly strange ΛΛ-hypernuclei will be performed, thus complementing measurements of ground state decays of ΛΛ-hypernuclei at J-PARC or possible decays of particle unstable hypernuclei in heavy ion reactions. High resolution spectroscopy of multistrange Ξ−-atoms will be feasible and even the production of Ω−-atoms will be within reach. The latter might open the door to the |S|=3 world in strangeness nuclear physics, by the study of the hadronic Ω−-nucleus interaction. For the first time it will be possible to study the behavior of Ξ‾+ in nuclear systems under well controlled conditions

Interdiffusion in EuS -based epitaxial superlattice nanostructures

The diffusion intermixing of layers during annealing of EuS -based epitaxial superlattice nanostructures was studied by X-ray diffraction technique. The interdiffusion coefficients for EuS —PbS , EuS —PbSe , EuS —SrS superlattices were determined basing on change of the intensity of near-Bragg reflection satellites in X-ray diffraction pattern. There are no layer intermixing in EuS —PbTe superlattice was observed

Structure of thermally evaporated bismuth selenide thin films

The Bi₂Se₃ thin films with thicknesses d = 7-420 nm were grown by thermal evaporation in vacuum of stoichiometric n-Bi₂Se₃ crystals onto heated glass substrates under optimal technological conditions determined by the authors. The growth mechanism, microstructure, and crystal structure of the prepared thin films were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. It was established that the prepared thin films were polycrystalline, with composition close to the stoichiometric one, did not contain any phases apart from Bi₂Se₃, were of a high structural quality, and the preferential growth direction [001] corresponded to the direction of a trigonal axis C₃ in a hexagonal lattice. The films, like the initial crystal, exhibited n-type conductivity. It was shown that with increasing film thickness, the grain size and the film roughness remain practically the same at thicknesses d << 100 nm, and after that increase, reaching their saturation values at d ~ 300 nm. It follows from the results obtained in this work that using the method of thermal evaporation in vacuum from a single source, one can prepare thin n-Bi₂Se₃ films of a sufficiently high structural quality with a composition close to the stoichiometric one and the preferential growth orientation
