The range of tasks that are set before these installations is wide, including analysis and testing of materials, production of radioisotopes. Among the applications are nuclear power, nuclear fusion researches, environmental studies, the development of new materials, the development of drugs and nuclear medicine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a rule, in such reactors circuits with forced cooling of the reactor core by the coolant pumped by pumps are used, but low-power reactors sometimes use a circuit with natural circulation of the heat carrier, for example, in the reactor IR-200 (Sevastopol, Crimea). Despite the advantages of the passive principle of reactor core cooling, it is practically not used because of the disadvantages of the circuits with lifting motion of the coolant in the core. Moreover, these schemes of heat removal from the reactor can not be called completely passive, since a secondary circuit with forced movement of the coolant is used.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com\/files\/Passive cooling system for research reactors.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Read the whole article<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com\/files\/Passive cooling system for research reactors.zip\" target=\"_blank\">Download the ZIP file<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: right;\">. by V.A.
