THE CONTRIBUTION OF RADIATION-HETEREGENEOUS PROCESSES TO HYDROGEN SAFETY OF WATER COOLED NUCLEAR REACTORS

In the represented work the experimental results on the study of the accumulation of molecular hydrogen in radiation and radiation-thermal heterogeneous processes in connection of metallic zirconium and stainless steel with water were summarized. Besides this, it was shown that the results obtained serve as a base for checking the scenarios of normal and emergency conditions of nuclear reactors refrigerated by water.
