BERYLLIUM
POISONING IN THE MARIA REACTOR

Energy, Poland

ABSTRACT
The poisoning of beryllium blocks initiated by the Be-9(n,a )
reaction is discussed in this paper. The present status of the methods used to
evaluate Li-6 and He-3 poison concentrations in the MARIA reactor
are described. On the basis of conservative assumptions the magnitude of the
problem is evaluated. Implications for the reactor operation are formulated,
comprising the necessity of keeping long term reactor operation records with
special emphasis on beryllium history.
The 2016 International RERTR Meeting (RERTR-2016) will take place in Belgium.
Stay tuned for further details.
The 2015 International RERTR Meeting (RERTR-2015) took place in Seoul, Korea on Oct. 11-14, 2015.
