Description

Activities related to revitalisation of the RA reactor started in 1986 were fulfilled except the exchange of the complete reactor instrumentation. Since 1992, due to economic and political reasons, RA reactor is in a difficult situation. The old RA reactor instrumentation was dismantled. Decision about the future status of the reactor should be made because the aging of all the components is becoming dramatic. Control and maintenance of the reactor components was done regularly and efficiently. The most important activity and investment in 1998 was improvement of conditions for spent fuel storage in the existing pools at the RA reactor. Russian company ENTEK and IAEA are involved in this activity which was initiated 1997. Fuel inspection by the IAEA safeguards inspectors was done on a monthly basis. Research reactor RA Annual report for year 1998 is divided into two main parts to cover: (1) operation and maintenance and (2) activities related to radiation protection

Abstract (Serbian)

Poslovi na revitalizaciji reaktora RA, zapocetoj 1986. godine okoncani su sa izuzetkom zamene celokupne instrumentacije. Od 1992, zbog teske ekonomske i politicke situacije, reaktor RA se nasao u veoma nezavidnom polozaju. Demontirana je stara instrumentacija. Zbog neprekidnog zastarevanja i degradiranja opreme, koje je posebno prisutno poslednjih pet godina, neophodno je sto pre doneti odluku o buducem statusu reaktora. Bez obzira na ishod odluke, u narednom periodu neophodno je aktivnosti usmeriti ka ocuvanju opreme. Kontrola i odrzavanje celokupne opreme postrojenja, kao i remontni radovi izvrsavani su redovno. Najveci investicioni zahvat, koji je zapocet 1997. godine, a odnosi se na poboljsanje uslova za odlaganje isluzenog goriva u postojecim bazenima na reaktoru RA nastavljen je u 1998. U izvrsavanje ovog projekta ukljucena je MAAE i ruska firma ENTEK. Kontrola goriva od strane inspektora MAAE obavljana je jedanput mesecno. Godisnji izvestaj sadrzi dva dela: (1) Pogon i odrzavanje nuklearnog reaktora RA u 1998. godini, i (2) zastita od zracenja na reaktoru RA
