Abstract
The most important results of the scientific and scientific-organizational activities of the Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in 2023 are presented. Even under the conditions of a large-scale invasion of Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine and the continuation of hostilities by the Russian aggressor, the employees of the Institute completed all the planned tasks, which primarily became possible due to the introduction of a number of organizational measures, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by a significant increase in the quality of scientific results, their implementation, as well as the publication activity of researchers. Over the years of eliminating the consequences of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant accident, performing scientific research at the Shelter object and in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, a unique experience has been accumulated that allows us to solve complex tasks of ensuring the appropriate level of nuclear, radiation and environmental safety of the energy industry of Ukraine and facilities, which use nuclear technologies. The results of the Institute’s research work are implemented in practical activities at power units of nuclear power plants of Ukraine, during the scientific and technical support of works on the Shelter object transformation into an ecologically safe system and the construction of the Centralized Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility. The importance of the Institute in solving topical and strategically important scientific and technical tasks in the war and post-war periods has been approved by the management of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, experts in evaluating the effectiveness of its activities, as well as international partners. All this indicates the possibility of further development and, if necessary, the expansion of the scope of complex tasks, which are solved by specialists of the Institute.
Keywords: Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, support of the state and international partners, evaluation of the effectiveness of activities, coverage of scientific achievements.
