This article is devoted to the development and study of new protective materials containing depleted uranium dioxide for increasing the capacity for γ-ray absorption. The materials were developed for use in multipurpose containers for spent nuclear fuel. The results of work on obtaining high-density concrete and cermet are presented. The recipe and technology for fabricating concrete (RZK–VNIINM)...
Research performed at the Bochvar All-Russia Research Institute for Inorganic Materials (VNIINM) and the All-Russia Research Institute of Experimental Physics (VNIIEF) on the development of the TUK-117 multipurpose transport packaging is presented. The TUK-117 packaging possesses biological protection based on depleted uranium and intended for transporting and storing spent nuclear fuel. The higher...
