Calculation of the Reactivity of a Pulsating Reactor Taking into Account the Thermoelastic Deformation of the Fuel
The paper studies the change of the reactivity of the pulsed reactor IBR-2 due to the thermal expansion of the fuel caused by a single power pulse.
In the accepted model, the temperature is found by solving a system of two-dimensional nonstationary heat equations.
The deformation of fuel pellets is calculated in 3D geometry using the finite element method. Critical calculations were performed using the Monte Carlo method
in the full geometry of the reactor. It is shown that the reactivity of the reactor has a complex dependence on time. The obtained results will be used for accurate calculations
of the dynamics of a pulsed reactor.

Beam Profile Measurement at the Entrance of the Gas-Filled Solenoid GASSOL
A beam profilometer has been developed and tested for use at the entrance
of the gas-filled solenoid GASSOL during its commissioning and adjustment.
The profilometer is constructed as a mosaic of cathodes, each measuring current
generated by secondary emission during bombardment by accelerated ions being
measured from each cathode. A corresponding number of current amplifier
channels is used to measure the currents from the cathodes. A software program
has been developed for visualizing the beam profile. During an experiment with
a 40Ar+4 ion beam at an energy of 4 MeV per nucleon, the lower sensitivity limit
of the profilometer was found to be less than 0.001 pnA. The upper sensitivity
limit, determined through thermal calculations, is 100 pnA. A critical factor is
the risk of signal cable contact failures due to heating. The accuracy of beam
centre determination, ∓1 mm, falls within the specified tolerance for radial
displacement of the beam axis relative to the magnetic axis of the solenoid.
