XVI International Science and Technical Conference for Professionals and Young Scientists «Problems of modern nuclear energy»

The XVI International Science and Technical Conference for Professionals and Young Scientists «Problems of modern nuclear energy».

» was held on November 16-18, 2022. The conference was organized by the Ukrainian Nuclear Society, the National Science Center "Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology" and V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University with the support of Khmelnytsky NPP. Because of the Russian military aggression on the territory of Ukraine and the difficult situation in Kharkiv, the organizers held this year's conference in Netishyn with the possibility of online participation. 

KIPT scientists presented the following reports:

• Study of the effect of particle size distribution in neutron absorber material powders on their compactability in absober rod cladding. Chernov I.O., Belash M.M., Romankov V.O., Yevseyev V.M.
• Experience of irradiated nuclear fuel inspection at Ukrainian NPPs using Fuel Inspection and Repair Equipment. Zuyok V.A., Krasnorutskyy V.S., Grytsyna V.M., Rud R.O., Tretyakov M.V., Kushtym Ya.O., Grydnytskyy V.V., Zigunov V.V., Slyeptsov O.M., Kasperovych I.L., Solovyov Y.V., Medintsov V.V., Glushenkov R.S.
• Investigation of the processes of thermal decomposition of hydroxides obtained by the method of chemical deposition and formation of dysprosium titanate. Rud N.V., Chernov I.O., Kolodiy I.V., Karsim S.O.
• Effect of hydrogen, hydride orientation and temperature on low-cycle fatigue resistance of Zr-1%Nb alloy fuel cladding. Ryedkina G.P., Klimenko S.P., Gritsyna V.M., Grudnitskyy V.V.
• Static strength analysis of fuel assembly models for a subcritical nuclear facility. A.V. Kushtym
• Experience of implementation of Westinghouse fuel assembly repair systems at Ukrainian NPPs. Zuyok V.A., Solovyov Y.V., Kulyk Ye.I., Glushenkov R.S., Kushtym Y.O., Grudnytskyy V.V.
