Description
Summary:The main stages of the BOR-60 closed fuel cycle, implemented on the experimental base at the Scientific-Research Institute of Nuclear Reactors, are examined. The ^sup 85^Kr emission at the stages of preparation of the spent BOR-60 fuel assemblies for recovery is determined experimentally. It is shown that the maximum ^sup 85^Kr emission as a result of destruction of fuel element cladding with oxide uranium fuel is 68%; its contribution to the irradiation dose to the public as a result of mechanical disassembly of the fuel elements in a single BOR-60 fuel assembly with 10% burnup and a 10-yr holding time does not exceed 1·10^sup -4^% of the dose limit (1 mSv/yr).[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
