This paper presents the capabilities of the International Database on Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Materials (the Database) forprecise and comprehensive RPV lifetime assessment, aimed at supporting the long-term operation of nuclear power plants. The Database was created in the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency activities. Fourteen countries, including the United States, France, and Russia, supplied large amounts of surveillance results and data from national and international research programs. The recent achievements and open issues in the area of RPV radiation embrittlement assessment are considered. They concern mainly the effects resulting from long irradiation times and high neutron fluences (neutron flux influence, late blooming phases), nickel and manganese synergism, and further validation of appropriate safety concepts (the Master Curve approach). New information from ongoing surveillance and research programs has to be incorporated into the Database for the most effective RPV radiation embrittlement prediction. These additional data will greatly support the development of embrittlement correlations and embrittlement trend curves valid for long irradiation times.

Within the Generation IV initiative, the gas-cooled fast reactor (GFR) is one of the reactors dedicated to minor actinide (MA) transmutation. This paper summarizes the research performed with the GFR600 reference design in order to assess its MA burning capabilities. For the study, modules of the SCALE program system were used. Single-cycle parametric studies were performed with cores having different MA content and spatial distribution. It was shown that the addition of MAs to the fuel greatly reduced the reactivity loss during burnup. Moreover, the higher the MA content of the core, the higher the fraction of it that was fissioned; however, the more the delayed neutron fraction and the fuel temperature coefficient degraded. Significant reduction can be achieved in the amounts of neptunium and americium, while curium isotopes accumulate. The study of multiple consecutive cycles showed that by adding only depleted uranium (DU) to the reprocessed actinides in fuel fabrication (pure DU feed strategy), up to 70% of the initially loaded MAs can be fissioned in the first five cycles. Moreover, the reactor can be made critical during that time if the initial MA content is higher than 3%. By feeding MAs as well (constant MA content strategy), the reactivity has a steady increase from cycle to cycle, predominantly due to 238Pu breeding from 237Np. The effects of the isotopic composition of the plutonium and MAs were also examined by performing calculations with data specific to the spent fuel of traditional western pressure water reactors and Russian type WER440 reactors. Despite the considerably different MA vectors, no significant deviation was found in their overall transmutation. However, the Pu composition had a strong effect on the reactivity and the delayed neutron fraction in the first cycles. Finally, cores having nonuniform MA content were investigated. It was found that though the MA destruction efficiency was significantly higher in the middle of the core than at the edge, moving some of the MAs from the outer regions to the center resulted in only minor improvement in their destruction. However, the spectral changes caused by the rearrangement increased the k-effective, which allowed higher burnups and increased MA destruction. Unfortunately, some of the safety parameters of the reactor degraded.

Oil and natural gas companies use 241Am sources for well-logging applications (in the form of americium-beryllium neutron sources). Currently, the domestic supply of 241Am is depleted, and industry is now purchasing sources from Russia. The goal of the Americium Recovery Project (ARP) is to reprocess defense-waste plutonium to recover 241Am that would then be sold to oil and gas companies, providing a safe, secure domestic source for industrial applications. Because the primary radiological concern with an 241Am source is external photon exposure, the radiological workers involved in the ARP will perform operations in glove boxes featuring lead-lined gloves. Given the U.S. mandate for the reduction of lead in industrial settings and the costs associated with the disposal of leaded gloves as mixed waste, alternatives are being considered to the traditional lead-lined gloves used in glove boxes. Several composite materials were previously developed and analyzed for incident photons of energies below 400 keV using the Lambert-Beer law to calculate transmission fractions. This research extends the energy range to 10 MeV and uses a source term of interest to the ARP. Further, the Monte Carlo transport code MCNP5 is used to calculate source-normalized doses using two common response functions: H'(0.07) and H*(10). The results and calculations presented in this research are more detailed than previous calculations and present further rationale for the context-specific selection of a given material.

A practical method for simulating the operation and optimizing the parameters of the system for a self-contained power supply (SCPS) based on renewable energy sources is proposed. Calculations have been performed and optimum block schemes of the system for 50 geographical points located on the territory of the Russian Federation have been determined. Zoning of the territory of the country has been made on the basis of ranking renewables by such criterion as economically and energy-efficient contribution of solar and wind power plants to the operation of the systems for self-contained power supply.

The contemporary development of nuclear power technologies in Russia made it possible to create projects of economic and safe fast reactors of new generation. These reactors will be a basis of the large-scale nuclear power engineering in the middle and end of the 21st century Fast reactors of inherent safety (BREST), in which heavy emergencies are deterministically excluded |1, 2|, are of most interest among such projects. However, the limits of domestic power engineering implemented in BREST projects are not completely reached; there are reserves for further bettering of the safety and, probably, efficiency of new generation reactors. There are I to 2 decades left for improving technologies of fast reactors of inherent safety. One of the BREST concept reserves—the usage of fuel-rod shells with tungsten spraying—is the idea unattractive and unrealistic at first sight due to the tungsten's high cost and the large cross section of fast-neutron absorption. However, the performed analysis and the calculation studies make it possible to draw a conclusion on the potential possibility of using the tungsten coatings of fuel rods for further improvement of reliability and safety of BREST-type reactors without deterioration (and probably with improvement) of economical characteristics of nuclear power plants with these reactors.
