Ukraine was, is and will be independent! Ukraine’s independence is in unity. In freedom and will. In the fight for the victory. The independence is in the Ukrainian nightingale language, in the words of understanding, who belong to us, and who is a stranger. The words of which save lives and give hope for the […]
Researchers from Delft University of Technology have invented a new radiolabeling method for the efficient creation of nanocarriers with radioactive salts. Radiolabeling can be used to diagnose cancer using SPECT or PET scans to determine where the radioactive particles enter the patient’s body and how many micelles are absorbed by the tumor. Unlike chemotherapy, which […]
Scientists from the E. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of Michigan discovered that the rate of cooling in the reactions dramatically affects the type of uranium molecules that are formed. The research lasted for a year and a half, starting in October 2020, and was aimed at identifying uranium compounds that can form […]
The second training course for students of Ukrainian polytechnic Universities with the major in nuclear engineering has been completed. The project, organized by the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) with the support of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Energy, was implemented during July in the State Scientific and Technical Center for […]
This week, in the framework of the Argonne National Laboratory project being implemented in the State Scientific and Technical Center for Nuclear and Radiation Safety (SSTC NRS), information on the small modular boiling water reactor BWRX-300 was presented and discussed. Oksana Kuhotska, a specialist in the SSTC NRS Department of Neutron-Physical Processes, gave the audience […]
On August 1, a leak of seven tons of radioactive water occurred at the third power unit of the Mihama NPP in Fukui Prefecture. An alarm signal sounded at the power plant, indicating a decrease in the amount of water supplied to the pump. The inspection revealed a water leak from the filter cover flange […]
The State Scientific and Technical Center for Nuclear and Radiation Safety (SSTC NRS) will hold a charity Nuclear Auction of Interesting Items to raise funds for a tow truck for the 45th Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
