Abstract
The Industrial Association Mayak chose for computations to substantiate the safety of equipment used in radiochemical production processes domestic computer codes, which are as good as the foreign codes but also have an important advantage over the latter – they are tied to the Russian standards.
Some of the most typical types of radiochemical industrial equipment in whose design strength calculations were performed using the universal CAN system and the TsIKL code, developed at the ITsP of the Ministry of Atomic Energy, are presented. The computational examples show that the programs indicated make it possible to perform a standardized estimate of the strength of equipment and pipes with any degree of complexity which are used in radiochemical production processes at the Industrial Association Mayak.
