slowing down of neutrons (moderation), and thereby prevent the



1. the excess of an efficient multiplication coefficient values of 0.95 neutrons when

the anticipated emergency situations (including water),




2. the value of the effective coefficient of 0.98 cant multiplication of neutrons in

the optimal conditions of moderation,



(b)) to ensure an adequate removal of residual heat for normal,

abnormal traffic and emergency conditions,



(c) ensure that the implementation of periodic) inspections and tests,



(d)) to prevent the fall of irradiated fuel during transport,



e) reduce to a minimum the possibility of damaging fuels, IE. in particular, avoid

exposure to fuel the fuel element or file an undue

stress during handling,



(f)) to prevent the fall of heavy objects on a fuel Assembly, i.e.. objects with

mass greater than the weight of fuel, file



g) storage of broken or damaged fuel elements

fuel assemblies for construction and operational units, which includes

nuclear reactor,



(h)) to ensure workers ' radiation protection of nuclear installations,



I) for wet with water to ensure stores



1. control of the chemical composition and the radioactivity of all the water in which the

the irradiated fuel is stored, or in which it is handled,



2. monitoring and control of water level in the pool of spent fuel

and detecting the memory leaks.
