METHODS AND EXPERIENCE OF SNF PREPARATION OF RESEARCH REACTORS IN NRC "KURCHATOV INSTITUTE" FOR DELIVERY TO REPROCESSING
Methods of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) management at preparation it to for removing to reprocessing are presented. The radioactive wastes (RW), arising at preparation for removing of research reactor SNF for reprocessing, are characterized by high level of specific activity, which are caused generally by radionuclides 137Cs and 60Cо. Application of remote diagnostic methods of a radiation situation and remote control mechanisms allows to reduce effect of high radiation fields and to protect the personnel during works (fig. - 6, references - 8).
