Summary
The Joint Institute of Power and Nuclear Research - Sosny offers customers research services for subcritical systems controlled by external sources at the nuclear physics complex "Yalina" under an outsourcing agreement or a subcontracting.
Description
The unique nuclear physics complex "Yalina" was created within the framework of the project of the International Scientific and Technical Center with the participation of the European Union.

To date, the Yalina complex is the only operating nuclear physics complex in Europe, where nuclear power plants of a new generation are studied - subcritical systems controlled by external sources, while in Japan, Germany, Sweden, the USA and other states they are at design development stages.

These systems are designed for energy production and incineration (transmutation) of long-lived radioactive waste accumulated as a result of nuclear power plant operation, and also have an inherent safety feature. It should be noted that subcritical reactors are considered in the short term as the most promising direction for energy production.

On the basis of Yalina Yalina, together with the nuclear centers of Sweden, Germany and Spain, an International Scientific Laboratory is being created to:
- expanding international cooperation and conducting joint research in the field of modern nuclear energy systems and nuclear waste transmutation;
- attracting financial investments for theoretical and experimental research, updating the material and technical base of the institute;
- use of the Yalina complex for training postgraduates and specialists in the field of modern nuclear energy and radioactive waste management, which are becoming a priority for many countries with limited reserves of fuel and energy resources.

Additional comments
The main activities of the Institute:
- nuclear energy, scientific support for the development of nuclear energy in the Republic of Belarus;
- nuclear and radiation technologies in the interests of various sectors of the economy of the Republic of Belarus;
- handling of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel;
- fundamental and applied research in the field of nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, high energy physics.

Promising areas of activity of the Institute:
- development of methods for modeling neutron-physical and thermal-hydraulic processes and their application in the justification of the safety of the Belarusian NPP;
- calculation-theoretical and experimental substantiation of thermal-hydraulic and neutron-physical characteristics of power and research nuclear reactors;
- development of methods for probabilistic analysis of the safety of nuclear facilities;
- fundamental and applied research in the physics and kinetics of subcritical systems based on the synthesis of fission and fission reactions (Accelerator Driven Systems) and long-lived waste incineration technologies (Accelerator Driven Transmutation Technologies);
- development of technologies based on particle and radiation sources for the production of micro-, nano- and optoelectronic products, precision surface treatment of materials, radiation testing and modification of polymer products, production of medicines and preparations, sterilization of medical products, etc. (NG-12-1, UELV-10-10, UGU-420, stand "Hyacinth"), development of high technologies using ionizing radiation;
- development of supercomputer and grid technologies and their application in nuclear physics and power engineering;
- development of precision methods of non-destructive testing and expert control of radioactive materials;
- development of a methodology for monitoring energy security and measures to reduce the likelihood of threats to energy security and ensure the operation of the fuel and energy complex of the republic in emergency situations;
- research and optimization of efficient use of renewable energy sources (biomass, solar and wind energy);
- development of methods for assessing environmental and economic consequences and making decisions in emergency situations during radiation and nuclear accidents;
- development of technology for the production of a new generation of radiopharmaceuticals in the treatment of cancer;
- development of technologies and measures to eliminate temporary disposal sites for radioactive waste in the places of the former deployment of Soviet troops and to prevent the negative consequences of the impact of radioactive waste storage facilities outside Belarus.
The Institute is doing a lot of work on the implementation by the Republic of Belarus of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Materials and the IAEA Safeguards Agreement on non-switching of nuclear materials from peaceful to military activities.

The Institute participates in joint research programs with the IAEA, the G. Schrazeman Institute (Bonn, Germany), the Brookhaven National Laboratory (USA), the Institute of Environmental Geochemistry (Kyiv, Ukraine), the Institute for the Safe Development of Atomic Energy (Moscow, Russia), the ALSTON Corporation ( Paris, France), Electrocity de France (France), Russian Scientific Center "Kurchatov Institute", Argonne National Laboratory (Chicago, USA), UNESCO, Sandia National Laboratories (Albuquerque, USA), etc.
