Аннотация

В 1960 году в ОИЯИ начал работать ИБР — первый в мире импульсный реактор периодического действия на быстрых нейтронах. С 1984 года эксплуатируется реактор второго поколения ИБР-2. Представлен анализ характерных особенностей реакторов типа ИБР, основной из которых является нестабильность колебаний мощности. Предлагается описание концептуального проекта реактора третьего поколения «НЕПТУН», который решает проблему нестабильностей и открывает новые возможности для исследований с использованием нейтронных пучков.
