Secure operation conditions — set in the project minimal limitations of a<br />
number of reactor plant characteristics important for security; following these limitations<br />
guarantee secure operation of the plant.<br />
Physical barrier — engineering installation, technical means or device limiting<br />
exit of radioactive substances and ionizing radiation into the rooms of radioactivelydangerous<br />
object and to the environment.<br />
Physical protection of nuclear station — technical and organizational measures<br />
of keeping nuclear materials and radioactive substances in the nuclear station<br />
aimed to prevent unsanctioned entrances to the territory of the nuclear station, unsanctioned<br />
access to the nuclear materials and radioactive substances and timely<br />
revealing and stopping of subversion and terrorist acts threatening the security of the<br />
station.<br />
Physical obstacle — natural obstacle in the way of spreading of ionizing radiation,<br />
nuclear material, or radioactive substance.<br />
Physical start-up of the reactor — stage of putting NS into operation including<br />
loading of the reactor with nuclear fuel, reaching critical condition of the reactor and<br />
carrying out all necessary physical power measurements at which heat removal from<br />
the reactor is achieved by natural heat losses (dispersion).<br />
Storage of radioactive waste — placement of radioactive waste in special<br />
places designed for safe isolation of the waste, including control and possibility of further<br />
processing, transportation, and (or) burial of the waste.<br />
Cementation of radioactive waste — method of conditioning of liquid and solid<br />
radioactive wastes by mixing them with cement and hardening of the resulted mixture.<br />
Chain nuclear reaction — sequence of heavy atoms nuclei fission reaction at<br />
their interaction with neutrons and other elementary particles in the result of this reaction<br />
lighter atoms, new neutrons and other elementary particles are formed, and nuclear<br />
energy is emitted. Depending on average number of fission reaction the reaction<br />
can be called damped, self-contained, or increasing reactions.<br />
Decay chain — row in which every nuclide transforms into the following one<br />
during the radioactive decay until a new stable nuclide is formed.<br />
Zirconium — chemical element (metal) with weak ability of absorbing heat<br />
neutrons; is widely used in atomic machine building.<br />
CAS — Chernobyl atomic station.<br />
EGR — energy graphite reactor of channel-type with steam overheat; is used in<br />
Bilibinsk APS.
