Mathematical simulation represents the best way to optimize process solutions using various criteria. As a tool for solving such problems, we propose to use the VIZART software package implementing the end-to-end optimization calculation of closed nuclear fuel cycle processes, including the optimal ratio for radioactive waste of different activity levels. Using this module, we have analyzed the main components of costs for post-reactor handling of spent nuclear fuel. The minimum cost of handling high-level radioactive waste was calculated for several scenarios of a closed nuclear fuel cycle. The conducted comparative analysis of radioactive waste conditioning technologies considered various types of spent nuclear fuel reprocessing in the modules of pilot demonstration and industrial energy complexes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":480,"journal":{"name":"Atomic Energy","volume":"137 1-2","pages":"24 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143622003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specifics of its operation under the conditions of inaccessibility for visual control and maintenance dictates the need to use indirect methods of monitoring and diagnostics. The performed study demonstrates the efficiency of combined vibration monitoring and diagnostics for detecting operational defects of the PO-3 mobile reflector. Both conventional spectral and non-standard probabilistic methods of vibration analysis are used, including the <i>S-</i>discriminant analysis adapted to the reference state of equipment. The gamma-spectral analysis of radioactive impurities in the reflector lubricant oil significantly increases the reliability of recognizing the technical state of complex machinery.
