Simulation of non-stationary processes in industrial centrifugal cascades of uranium enrichment

The mathematical model of non-stationary dividing processes of uranium enrichment in industrial centrifugal cascades which can be used in a computer simulator to prepare experts in dividing production and application as an expert system in the automated control system of technological circuit has been developed and realized

Investigation of contamination caused by rubber compactor in arsine purified in gas centrifuge

In the process of studying the application of gas centrifuges for deep purification of arsine from impurities sulphur was found. Estimation of quantitative content of sulphur in pure arsine showed the value -10-4 wt. %. The sources of sulphur was stated to be rubber compactors forming gas centrifuge complex and made from rubber on the basis of butadiene_nitrile caoutchouc using sulfur cure. Using rubber compactors made from rubber produced from fluoroelastomers, not undergoing to sulfur cure one can provide sulphur content in pure product less than 10-5 wt. %

Next stage of search for 2K(2ν\nu)-capture of 78^{78}Kr

A technique to search for 2K-capture of $^{78}$Kr with large low-background proportional counter filled with an enriched in $^{78}$Kr up to 99.8% sample of Krypton at a pressure of 4.51 is described in this paper. The results of first measurements are presented. Analysis of data collected during 159 hours yielded new limit to the half-life of $^{78}$Kr with regard to 2K-capture (T$_{1/2}\geq6\cdot10^{21}$ yr (90% C.L.)). Sensitivity of the facility to the process for one year of measurement was evaluated to be $\texttt{S}=1.0\cdot10^{22}$ yr (90% C.L.).Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures; talk at the NANP'05 Conference; submitted to Phys.
