up to 20 cells in the core and blanket to irradiate experimental FAs and capsules with samples inserted instead of standard FAs and blanket ones;
experimental core cell able to locate instrumented devices, including autonomous loop channels;
dry vertical and horizontal channels outside the reactor vessel;
rigs to test equipment.
BOR-60 Highlights:
uniqueness of BOR-60 is that it is the only in Russia and Europe fast test reactor;
a possibility of accelerated (up to 20dpa/year) high-dose (up to 100dpa and higher) irradiation of structural materials ;
a possibility of wide-scale tests of fuels for fast reactors in the justification of promising fuel cycles;
availability of experimental rigs providing the desired neutron spectrum to carry out research in the transmutation of high-active radionuclides, including actinides;
availability of experimental rigs to test large-scale mockups of equipment for the NPPs with fast reactors;
a possibility to generate high-active radionuclides accumulated more effectively in a hard neutron spectrum;
availability of a hot cell and equipment for interim examinations of irradiated samples and items.
