Hypothetical accidents in the Sarcophagus

Creators

Description

This work deals with hypothetical accidents in the sarcophagus. Hypothetical accidents may occur if the fissile materials and moderators within the sarcophagus form critical masses. No such systems have been found experimentally, and at present the exact mechanism by which they might arise is not known. For this reason they are considered hypothetical but researches are carried out. The scenario and the consequences for the creation of a hypothetical accident are given. (O.L.). 4 refs., 4 figs., 5 tabs
