Popis: The total amount of stored energy (Wigner energy) and the physical-mechanical properties of the graphite plunger, which exhausted its total service life (6 yr), in the No. 2 unit of the Kursk nuclear power plant were estimated experimentally. The results showed that the total accumulated energy was 180–220 cal/g ((8–10)·105 J/ kg). The real tempearture of the graphite plunger was found to be much lower – 70–80°C compared with the computed value 180–200°C. The energy was nonuniformly distributed over the cross section and azimuth of the plunger.
