Increasing the safety of atomic power stations with RBMK reactors

Increasing the safety of atomic power stations with RBMK reactors

The authors review the operating, safety, and accident records of RBMK reactors in the Soviet Union, perform in-core kinetics assessments of cooling system, fuel element, and control rod behavior during accident scenarios, and make detailed technical recommendations for increasing the operating and...

Zusammenfassung:The authors review the operating, safety, and accident records of RBMK reactors in the Soviet Union, perform in-core kinetics assessments of cooling system, fuel element, and control rod behavior during accident scenarios, and make detailed technical recommendations for increasing the operating and safety margins of the plants. Methods for the amelioration of fission product release are also discussed. The Chernobyl accident is included.
