By refining the structure using the methods of severe deformation, the mechanical properties were significantly improved and the corrosion rate of biosoluble alloys was reduced by several orders of magnitude.

5. The physical fundamentals for obtaining high-purity hafnium were developed. Estimations and experimental studies for the changes in the concentration of impurities in hafnium during electron beam melting and zone recrystallization (in the electric field as well) were carried out.

6. Research on the optimization of the technological process parameters for obtaining zirconium magnesium thermal sponge at the stages of reducing zirconium tetrachloride from domestic raw materials and vacuum high-temperature treatment of rough zirconium sponge was carried out. This will make it possible to obtain zirconium in accordance with modern requirements for creating zirconium structural materials with improved properties for reactors.

7. Investigation and improvement of metal purification from impurities were carried out. Pure and ultrapure metals (Zr, Hf, Be, Mg, Cd, Zn, Te) were obtained for the production of alloys for nuclear power engineering. The physical and technological fundamentals for obtaining nuclear-pure zirconium, which meets the modern requirements of nuclear power engineering, were developed. The behavior of impurities during zirconium refining by the method of electron beam melting and the effect of zirconium purity on its properties were studied.

8. For the first time, high-purity antique lead (99.9996%) was obtained in the form of granules, which is necessary for producing low-background scintillation crystals of PbWO4.

9. The kinetics for the formation of diffusion hardened near-surface layers on sample pipes made of zirconium alloy Zr–1%Nb during chemical-thermal treatment (TCT) in controlled oxygen-containing and nitrogen media was studied. The regularities for the growth of hardened near-surface layers depending on the treatment time and environment were determined. It was also shown that due to TCT the microhardness of the inner and outer surfaces of FE tubes is significantly increased (from 2.5 to 7 times). This can significantly reduce the damage to the tubes during the operation of the FE.

10. Technological processes for the manufacture of reactor steels modified with nanoparticles of thermostable oxides (oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) or ODS–steels) were developed. The strength characteristics of the developed austenitic ODS–steel are 2 – 3.5 times higher, and the swelling is 5 times lower than that of the base steel X18H10T. High-entropy alloys (HEA) based on the AlCoCrCuFeNi and CoCrFeNi (Mn, V) systems were obtained and studied. High plasticity of certain compositions was determined. Research is being conducted on the effect of various treatments on their structure and properties.

11. Nanocrystalline zirconium and titanium of various purities, as well as nanostructured alloys based on them, were developed and studied. For the first time, a combination of two methods of extreme impact on metals was applied – severe plastic deformation plus subsequent cryogenic deformation.

12. The processes of refining magnesiothermal sponge zirconium of domestic production by the method of electron-beam melting were studied. This makes it possible to create the necessary preconditions for the use of magnesiothermal zirconium in the development of zirconium structural materials for NPU equipment pieces.

13. Devices based on semiconductor and gas-discharge detectors were developed for the technological processes using ionizing radiation, including NPP, the Chernobyl zone, spent fuel storage and medicine, including semiconductor detectors based on Si, GaAs, CdTe, CdZnTe and CVD diamond coatings, gas-discharge detectors based on noble gases etc.

14. The prototype of gamma-radiation detection unit based on the gas-discharge linear detector and charge-sensitive preamplifier designed for radiation monitoring systems of NPPs was developed and manufactured. The detector is filled with a mixture of high-purity (99.9995%) inert gas Xe and hydrogen. The detection unit characteristics were studied under irradiation with gamma-quants of 241Am, 137Cs, 60Co isotopes.

15. The complex of fundamental studies on the electrophysical and magnetic properties of granular oxide high-temperature superconductors was carried out. For the first time, the course of topological phase transitions - Berezinsky-Kosterlitz-Thoules transitions (BKT–transitions) in the Josephson medium of granular HTSC under the influence of electric and magnetic fields was determined experimentally. Works on the synthesis and investigation of the crystal structure, electromagnetic properties and radiation resistance of the new BCS–superconductor MgB2 were carried out. High-energy permanent magnets based on rare earth metals were developed.

16. The evolution of Zr–1%Nb alloy structure was studied at the increase of iron concentration. Small additions of iron to the alloy result in the change of its structure due to the appearance of precipitates of the Laves phase. As the iron content is increased in the Zr–1%Nb alloy, its microhardness is increased as well. High corrosion resistance of the investigated Zr–1%Nb alloys is shown. It is also shown that alloying with iron makes a significant contribution to the corrosion resistance of Zr–1%Nb alloys in reactor water.
