Abstract
In the present article the results are briefly given of six years uninterrupted operation of the First Atomic Power Station in the world. Different regimes of operation of the station and the parameters in these regimes are discussed. The performance of the fuel elements is described and the system of partial refuelling used at the power station to attain an average fuel burn-up which considerably exceeded the value originally planned. Great attention was given to development of the method for transition into the boiling regime, operation in this regime and the attainment of nuclear superheat. A scheme is devised for localization of an accident. This system was designed to prevent the expulsion of steam-water mixtures into the ventilating system and to purify the gas released after a fuel-element failure. The system was devised because of the presence in this Atomic Power Station of a large number of experimental channels.
