Structural Changes in Concrete under the Influence of Reactor Spectrum Neutrons

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper considers structural changes in the concrete composition that occur under the influence of neutrons of the reactor spectrum, using the example of the IR-100 research nuclear reactor, taking into account its real time and operating conditions. Thus, taking into account the energy output, power operation modes, and neutron flux density in the core, over time, nuclides that are not characteristic of the original composition of the concrete component are formed in the nodes of the crystal lattice. However, these changes do not lead to significant structural changes.
