Special features and results of the ‘‘TOPAZ II’’ nuclear power system tests with electric heating

Some of the most characteristic results of the ‘‘TOPAZ II’’ nuclear power system tests conducted on the rigs with electric heating are presented in the given paper, the objects of tests, the tasks being solved are considered there. The rigs of the ‘‘Baikal’’ type developed for these purposes allow to tackle sufficiently wide range of problems associated with the ‘‘TOPAZ II’’ product fabrication as well as with the experimental trials. Function description of the main rig systems is given. Problems arising in connection with the electric heating application are considered.
