On absence of RTG feature to internal self-
defense
The diagnostic of the development of the Cape Navarin radiological
incident by the FGUP "NIITFA" specialists said <<"The unauthorized
mechanic influence on the RTG resulted in decompression of its case
and its radiation defense coat. So it had been opened the oxygen enter
to the uranium of radiological defense. It has been initiated the process
of oxidation and gas swelling inside the RTG temperatures (up to 4000
C) which leaded to serious mechanic strains which demolished the
RTG case. The oxides of the uranium unloaded to the land thru the
crack which resulted in increasing of the capacity of the entering brake
gamma irradiation over the normative levels. The unloaded uranium
oxides created the RTG surface radiological contamination and of the
earth near it. The radiological datum of RTG and mechanic condition of
its construction do not allow to fulfill its safe transportation without extra
coat".
The processes resulted in full destruction of the RTG (the capacity of
the expose dose exceeded 170 R per H) are absolutely internal. So the
RTG has no feature to internal self-defense.View entire presentation
