Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

    We’re sorry, something doesn't seem to be working properly.

    Please try refreshing the page. If that doesn't work, please contact support so we can address the problem.

An algorithm and results of calculation of the process of vacuum drying of a metal-concrete container intended for long-term “dry” storage of spent nuclear fuel are presented. A calculated substantiation of the initial amount of moisture in the container is given.
