Description
A brief account is given of Da Lat research reactor, operation and maintenance source its refurbishment. The Da Lat Nuclear Research Reactor is playing a special role in the development of nuclear application in Viet Nam. Reconstruction from the previous TRAGAMARK II, it has been operating since 1984, totaling 13,500 hours. Since November 1992, it has undergone a general inspection followed by a complete refurbishment tasks until March 1993, was put into operation alternately with the remaining refurbishment works. I parallel, the renovation of its control and instrumentation system has be carried out. This has thought necessary due to spare part procurement problems and the need to modernize the system for improving its reliability. Finally, a programme for reloading the reactor core is being implemented, in order to increase its reserve reactivity. 2 refs
