METHOD FOR RADIATION TREATMENT OF PARTS AND MATERIALS BY HARD GAMMA-RAYS

摘要

FIELD: radiation engineering and technology; physicochemical processes for treatment of materials with dosed ionizing rays to impart new useful properties to them. ^ SUBSTANCE: proposed method for radiation treatment of parts and materials with hard rays of fission products accumulated in closed loop of circulating-fuel nuclear reactors involves use of ultrashort-living gaseous products of fission accumulated in liquid-fuel homogeneous reactor core which are removed with gas flow from fuel solution and conveyed over closed loop to radiation chamber accommodating parts and materials to be irradiated wherein high-strength field of gamma-rays is built up due to disintegration of ultrashort-living products of fusion; then gas flow depleted with respect to fusion products as result of their radioactive disintegration is returned to reactor core. ^ EFFECT: enhanced operating safety at desired gamma-ray power level; enlarged functional capabilities. ^ 3 cl, 1 dwg
