  • Ljubljana TRIGA Mark II, 40 years of successful operation [Elektronski vir]
    Peršič, Andreja ; Nemec, Tomaž
    The research reactor TRIGA Mark II at the 'Jožef Stefan' Institute is located in the vicinity of Ljubljana. It was designed by General Atomics. It was commissioned in 1966 and reconstructed and ... equipped for pulse mode operation in 1991. It is a 250 kW light water pool type reactor cooled by natural convection and designed for training, research with neutrons and isotope production. The reactor has accumulated 40 years of continuous operation without any failure of major equipment or any event violating safety limits. After reconstruction, the reactor was loaded with fresh, low enriched fuel elements. All spent fuel elements were shipped back to the USA in 1999. Ten fresh fuel elements were exported to France in July 2007. The questions related to nuclear safety are treated in detail in a TRIGA Mark II Safety Analysis Report. The enforcement is provided by national and international bodies. New regulations for research reactors are currently under preparation in Slovenia. The requirement for a research reactor periodic safety review will be included in new regulations. The graded approach to safety is taken into account. Application of the IAEA 'Code of Conduct on the Safety of Research Reactors' will be accomplished through the new regulations pertaining to all stages in the life of the reactor. TRIGA has been playing an important role in developing nuclear technology and safety culture in Slovenia. At present it is planned that the reactor will operate at least until 2016.
