Participating countries and international organizations:
Armenia, Australia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Ukraine. 

Issues addressed and main goals of research:
Investigation of various subcritical setups and using them for energy prodution and radioactive waste transmutation, research of radiation hardness of materials. The quasi-infinite target (Project E&T&RM)

Expected main results:

• Receiving data about the multiplicities and special istribution of energy-time neutron spectra. Research on massive targets of natural (depleted) uranium and thorium energy production capabilities and processing of radioactive waste, the study of radiation hardness of superconductors by the beams of neutrons and protons.

Expected major results in the current year:

• Installation of a big uranium target on Phazotron in DLNP, beam adjustment on the target. 
  
  
• Thermocouple device installation and callibration at the massive uranium target "BURAN". 
  
  
• Pilot operation of the nutron spectrometer on recoil protons on the "BURAN" under irradiation with protons at Phazotron. 
  
  
• Investigation of neutron leakage from the surface of the massive uranium target by activation method. 
  
  
• Investigation of impact of high-power laser radiation on the radioactive decay of minor actinides. 
  
  
• The investigation of radiation detects in high-temperature superconductors under the irradiation with protons with energy E = 660 MeV.
