The GT-MHR - 600 MW(th) concept of a direct cycle HTGR is a joint development by the US General Atomics and Russia s Minatom starting in 1995 and since 1997 supported by the French Framatome and Fuji Electric, Japan. It is planned to be built as modules of 250 - 285 MW(e) each with a prismatic core for commercial electricity generation and, in particular, for the burning of weapon-grade plutonium. A prototype and a plutonium 

Traditionally, a PSA for NPPs with WWER and RBMK reactors is only performed for full power operation. 

Operational events occumng during shutdown operational modes represent a significant contribution to the NPP risk. For this reason, there is a need to perform a PSA study for shutdown conditions.

The Zond VD - 96 portable eddy-current flaw detector-tester is an original Russian development possessing heightened sensitivity for the surface defects and high inspection capacity. (Russia patent Xs 2063025. All-Union state standard certificate of Russian Federation JVa 2846 of 14. 07. 97)... 

It is known that the reliability of analytical information obtained depends particularly on the range of reference materials (RM) used. The most of RMs developed by the Institute of Geochemistry, SB RAS are included in the State Register of certified types of National Certified Reference Materials of Russian Federation. The reference materials are routinely analyzed for the stability and their life durations are timely prolonged. Developed RMs (27 samples) characterize mainly mineral substances.

The consumption of cocoa in the major consuming countries for the last 25 years is summarized in Table 12. From this data, it can be seen that the U.S. has been the leading consumer for many years. In 1995-1996, the largest consumption (in thousands of metric tons) occurred in the U.S. (560), followed by Germany (245), the Russian Federation (187), and the U.K. (184).

The last paper in this chapter is by Professor N. Korovin of Moscow Power Engineering Institute, Russian Federation. The author could not attend the NATO-CARWC in Chicago due to a last minute cancellation. His work, contributed to this volume is a comprehensive overview of various metal-air battery technologies, with a heavy focus on the role of carbon materials in these electrochemical systems.

The samples of expanded (thermally expanded) graphite (TEG) were provided by the Central Research Institute of Materials (Russian Federation). TEG is a powder of light grey color with low bulk density and extremely developed true surface it can be easily pressed in a flexible plate ( cardboard ). The anodes made of TEG, had the capacity about 200 mA-h/g (Figure 5). However, in spite of the fact that the anodes were made of pressed powder, they had volumetric capacity in 3-4 times smaller, than other tested materials. The discharge curve is shown on Figure 5. 

The material was developed by the Research Institute of Electrocarbon Products (RIECP, Russian Federation) on the basis of natural graphite specially for application in Lithium-Ion cells. The samples were given with symbolic numbers, without certificates. The anodes, made of RIECP powder, had the capacity about 300 mA-h/g. The typical dicharge characteristic is submitted on Fig. 6. Irreversible capacity is about 16%. Concerning the cycle behavior, this material is not as stable as other ones tested (Fig. 10).

As expected, the destruction is proceeding asymmetrically, meeting domestic financial and technological problems with construction of destruction facilities including problems of acceptance by population in the respective regions. It is therefore expected, that the scheduled 10 years term for total CW destruction according to the CWC will not be managed and the allowed exception to extend the destruction period for another 5 years has been already asked for, by the Russian Federation and also by the US.

Each country is not only a receptor but also a source of the trans-boundary transport. As much as 153 t (60% of anthropogenic emission in Europe) of cadmium, emitted in Europe, leaves the territory of the counties and is involved in the long-range transport. The highest absolute value—30 t/yr—of cadmium transported across national borders was obtained for Poland. The significant exporters of cadmium are Spain, the Russian Federation, Romania and Italy. Nearly 40 t of cadmium is transported outside the European Union. Besides, only nine countries control more than 75% of cadmium trans-boundary transport.
