Abstract. A new time-of-flight method for measuring the neutron lifetime $\tau_{\mathrm{n}}$ was proposed in [1] The time-of-flight method for measuring the neutron lifetime $\tau_{\mathrm{n}}$ is very sensitive to the background. It was found that the background should be less than $10^{-6}$. According to [2] , between the power pulses of the IBR-2 reactor, about $7 \%$ of the reactor power...
An increase in the intensity of pulsed neutron sources leads to an unprecedentedly large pulsed neutron flux density up to $10^{11} \mathrm{n} / \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}$ and, as a result, to the impossibility of using data acquisition systems operating in counting mode. On the other hand, in the study of small P-odd effects in stationary reactors, the integral method is often used. This...
New approach to solve a wide range of problems in various nuclear materials processing is discussed. One of them – irradiated reactor graphite decontamination with inert gas (argon) plasma sputtering and thermo-treatment with interdisciplinary synthesis of plasma physics, materials science and reactor physics. At present time wide search of effective technology to deactivate reactor graphite...
One of the promising type of scintillation detector for neutron registration and spectroscopy is Cs26LiYCl6:Ce. The work presents study of characteristics of this detector. Optimization of digital algorithms for neutron/gamma-separation was performed. Pulse shape discrimination quality of charge integration and correlation analysis was investigated. Also tuning of pulse start time measuring...

In the work is investigated the effect of a burnable poison on the rate of reactivity drop in the PIK reactor. The core consists of six 6-sided fuel assemblies in the inner perimeter, six 4-sided fuel assemblies and six 6-sided fuel assemblies in the outer perimeter. The hexagonal fuel assembly contains 241 fuel elements, and the tetrahedral fuel assembly - 161. The fuel elements of the PIK...
