Creation of neutron-absorbing materials for control and protection systems of nuclear reactors with increased service life characteristics using domestic raw materials and technologies

Transcript of scientific report at the meeting of the Presidium of NAS of Ukraine, January 14, 2026

Abstract

The report states that the National Science Center "Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology" is actively developing fundamental and applied research in the field of nuclear materials science, design and development of technologies for manufacturing materials with increased service life from domestic raw materials, in particular neutron-absorbing materials. The author presents the results of work on the creation of absorbing elements for control and protection systems of nuclear reactors of various types, which will allow ensuring import substitution of their supply from the Russian Federation and guarantee the safe functioning of the nuclear power industry of Ukraine.
