•Russian beryllium of TGP-56FW grade has been accepted for the ITER first wall application.•Experimental technology of TGP-56FW grade, has been successfully introduced to the industry.•Further R&D ...will be directed on the cost reduction and increasing the efficiency of production.•Performances of TGP-56FW grade and S-65C grade under ITER-like loads are very similar.
Progress of R&D activities on the development and improvement of manufacturing technology of the billets and tiles made of TGP-56FW beryllium is traced and also some actions aimed on the preparation of mass production is reported. Additionally, the results of comparative study are presented on influence of transient plasma heat loads with the energy density of 0.3–1.0MJ/m2 at 250–500°C (performed in QSPA-Be plasma gun facility), on the erosion and surface damage of beryllium tiles made of TGP-56FW grade (RF) and S-65C grade (USA).

The introduction extended the high-temperature stage by 4 days, prevented acidification of the medium, and increased organic matter degradation and moisture evaporation, resulting in a 51% reduction in waste weight in two weeks. Introduced

The phase composition and surface morphology of the coatings were also studied. It is shown that the introduction of carbonaceous additives results in an increase in the vitrified surface area of the coating, thus causing an improved material resistance to high temperatures and other aggressive factors.

Laser polarimeter facility at VEPP-4M accelerator is designed to calibrate the beam energy by resonance depolarization method in the energy region of the Υ-meson. The laser trigger and laser ...polarization control system has been upgraded. A new water-cooled vacuum mirror is being developed.
Behavior in the open field test was compared in rats of two strains differing in terms of the manifestation of convulsions in response to sound (audiogenic epilepsy (AE)). These strains (“4” and “0”) ...were bred on the basis of a single hybrid population. Testing was performed before a series of exposures to sound (21 days) and after exposure. During sequential presentations of sounds, rats of strain “4” formed myoclonic convulsions, while “0” rats had no AE and, thus, no myoclonic convulsions. In the initial test, the level of locomotion and exploratory activity were greater in “4” rats than in “0” rats. In the second test, “4” rats showed significant changes in many behavioral parameters reflecting general suppression of exploratory activity and locomotion. Rats of strain “0” exposed to sound (but not displaying signs of AE) showed more active behavior in the second test than the first, reflecting acclimation of the animals to the experimental context, though changes in a number of indicators in the second test provided evidence of the complex nature of changes in anxiety levels in these animals (as a result of serial exposure to loud sounds). The similar genetic backgrounds of the two rat strains contrasting in terms of AE leads to the conclusion that changes in the behavior of “4” rats resulted from induction of a series of the epileptiform phenomena of AE. This pair of strains may provide a clear genetic model of convulsive states providing for reliable assessment of the effects of both external actions and pharmacological agents.
