Nuclear Scientists Visit Novovoronezh NPP
On June 28, 2012 a session of the 7th section of the International conference ТNucleus-2012У in the field of the ТExperience and Problems of Quality Ensuring of Specialists Training in the Nuclear Physics, Nuclear Power Industry and Nuclear Technologies for Russia and Foreign CountriesУ.
Greeting the participants of the conference, First Deputy Chief Engineer of Novovoronezh NPP, Alexey Schukin, said: ТThe fundamental science should make a contribution in the development of the nuclear power engineering. A conference is a representative scientific forum, where a lot of innovative ideas are shared. And we are pleased to see here the famous scientists in the field of nuclear physics, and they, in turn, are interested in seeing the products of their labour in practice.
In his turn, a reader of nuclear physics chair of Voronezh State University, Viktor Vakhtel, said: ТCarrying out of this section of the International conference ТNucleus-2012У at Novovoronezh nuclear power plant was conceived to make the topic of fundamental researches closer to practical problems of the nuclear power industry. Our work is aimed at providing the information related to the fundamental scientistsХ researches, which can be useful for the nuclear power plant, from another point of view it is aimed at providing the information to scientists from research institutes on actual problems of the nuclear power industry.У
At the conference, there were made seven presentations on the nuclear topic, including a report ТOrganization of Outgoing Radiation Survey of Metal Waste While Decommissioning the Power UnitsУ at Novovoronezh nuclear power plant Р a branch of Rosenergoatom Concern, made by Deputy Chief of the Technical Department on Decommissioning of Power Units of Novovoronezh NPP, Boris Shevchenko. The decommissioning and all the works related to this process is a topical subject both for experts and scientists.
The conference members visited the main control unit, turbine island and the viewing point of Units 3 and 4 of Novovoronezh NPP. The reactor and a possibility to carry out some scientific works at the plant aroused big interest of the guests. According to First Deputy Chief Engineer, Alexey Schukin, the stance of the operating company concerning this issue is tough: it is forbidden to carry out the scientific experiments at the operating nuclear power plant. However, those research studies, which do not affect the processing, are always welcome.
The conference ended with a visit to the full-scale simulator of Unit 5 of NV NPP, which is a real implementation of joint activities of practical men and theorists.
ТVisiting Novovoronezh NPP is very impressive and informative. I have been working in the field of theoretical physics for more than 50 years, but I must confess that I have visited the operating nuclear power plant and talked to the highly skilled nuclear engineers for the first time. I have visited nuclear centres of the USA and Europe, and IХd like to note that Novovoronezh NPP has everything at a very high level. I consider that NV NPP is a showcase of the nuclear power industry,У Walter Furman, an employee of the Laboratory of Neutron Physics after Ilya Mikhailovich Frank of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, shared his impressions.
From June 25 to 30, 2012 an International Conference ТNucleus-2012У: the ТFundamental Problems of Nuclear Physics, Nuclear Power Industry and Nuclear TechnologiesУ (the 62nd Meeting on Nuclear Spectroscopy and Nuclear Structure) took place in Voronezh. The organizers of this conference were the Russian Academy of Sciences, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and Voronezh State University.
The work of the International Conference was carried out in seven fields: the experimental study of the properties of the nucleus; experimental study of the mechanisms of nuclear reactions; nuclear theory and fundamental interactions; theory of nuclear reactions; application of nuclear physics in the related fields of science and technology; fundamental problems of nuclear power.
