Scientific Programme:
The development new equipment for ion beam raster scanning. Investigation of some new aspects of radioactive waste transmutation and nuclear energy production. Investigation of thermal and hydrodynamics regimes for nuclear facilities.

Expected main results:

Calculations and construction of the fast scanning system of this beam in XY-directions, manufacture and adjustment of the diagnostic equipment for the control of energy and spatial characteristics of carbon beam.
Investigation of the physical characteristics of the assemblies: "a lead target plus grafit moderator" (set-up "Gamma-3"), a massive uranium target with a lead reflector - (set-up "Quinta"), a quasi infinite uranium target at energies of proton and deuteron beams in the interval from 0.6 up to 12.0 GeV from the Nuclotron. Data on the multiplicities and special distribution of energy-time spectra of neutrons. Investigation of possibilities of energy production and processing of radioactive waste on massive target of natural (depleted) uranium and thorium based on the basic principles of nuclear technology.
Construction of superconducting elements for monitoring systems.

Expected main results in 2013:

Engineering of the system for spatial monitoring of the carbon beam on the target in real time mode, construction of the model of this system and its test on the Nuclotron-M beam.
Development and manufacturing of detector prototypes for measurement of carbon ion energy in the range E=100-250 MeV/n.
Development of cryogenic metrological complex in VBLHEP:

- Maintaining of cryogenic metrological complex in working condition;

- Development of an innovative two-phase flow void fraction meter of helium;

- Development of hardware and software to measure two-phase flows of helium.
Study on the model structures of the efficiency of heating by microwave radiation FEL ferromagnetic nano-clusters of cobalt with a view to their possible use to destroy cancer cells.
Study of generation and multiplication of neutrons in heavy targets (Pb and U) under irradiation by proton and deutron beams of the Nuclotron within the energy interval (0.6-12.0) GeV. Data taking on neutron energy spectra and their spatial distribution and radioactive waste transmutation rates in uranium and lead targets with uranium blanket (set-up "Quinta") and in a lead target witn graphite moderator ("Gamma-3" set-up). Study of transmutation characteristics of highly toxic long-lived radioactive waste products ( ¹²⁹I, ²³⁷Np, ²³⁸Pu, ²³⁹Pu and ²⁴¹Am ) in neutron field of above mentioned targets.
Study of structual material properties in neutron fields.
Development of technical specifications and conduct a second stage of the design work to create experimental setup "Buran", based on the quasi-infinite depleted uranium target with mass of about 21 tonns.
