The
goal of the Project: Design and small-series production of
the equipment for medical diagnostics based on modern achievements in
biotechnology employing solid biochips.
Description of the Project:
Introduction and Overview:
One of the modern field of biotechnology that has already brought to
practice very important results is the design of materials based on
the information biopolymers (proteins and nucleic acids) immobilized
on the solid supports. These materials are the basis of specific adsorbents
(chips) intended for detection and quantitative estimation of biopolymers.
Chips (biochips) are tiny glass slides containing arrays of immobilized
fragments of nucleic acids (oligonucleotides). The use of DNA-chips
is very promising in molecular biology, medicine and pharmacology, genetic
expertise in forensic practice, environment, etc. The modern prospective
of medical diagnostics is based on hybridization of nucleic acids. The
methods of hybridization analysis underlie the diagnostics of genetic,
cancerous and infectious diseases. Chips are the main elements of devices
for the automatic hybridization analysis. Hybridization is based on
the fundamental properties of nucleic acid strands to form specific
complexes provided their sequences are complementary to each other.
The use of DNA chips adds novel unique capabilities to the arsenal of
modern analytic techniques. They permit one to obtain information more
rapidly, simply and less expensively than in conventional hybridization
techniques. The design of cheap and reliable sensors for detection of
hybridization processes using chip technology is very important.
Introduction of modern achievements in biotechnology into medical practice
is inhibited by a high cost of analytical equipments both in Russia
and abroad.
Goals and expected results of the Project:
- elaboration of methods and technology of designing biochips;
- elaboration and manufacture of the experimental sample of a bioanalysator
for hybridization analysis;
- preparation of manufacture of small-serial production of bioanalysators.
Current stage of the Project: An experimental model of the analyzator
is developed, kinetics of the hybridization processes of octanucleotides
on the surface of DNA-chip is studied. The work is supported by Integration
Grant of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences.
Partners:
- Novosibirsk Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, SB RAS;
- State Scientific Center of Virusology and Biotechnology “Vector”;
- Novosibirsk Instrument-making Factory.
Special features and advantages of the Project: the Project is based
on the development of Russian technologies; it allows the cost of equipment
to be lowered; the technology of hybridization analysis gives an opportunity
of the multiple use of biochip that decreases expenses upon analyzing
samples.
Analysis of demand in Russian market and export prospective: Potential
consumers of the given type of equipment are now in search in internal
and external market.

Project objective: The Proton radiation therapy of
patients with Oncological centers, localized in various parts of the
body, with malfunctions of the circulation of the blood of the brain,
endocrine functioning etc.
Project description: The PRT Centre is based on a proton
synchrotron with the beam energy from 70 to 250 MeV being developed
exclusively for large oncological hospitals. Besides, the Centre is
provided for 4 irradiation devices being able to suppress a new growth
of all parts of the body.
Stage of project realization: The feasibility study of the main technological
equipment of the Centre and its siting, as well as everything required
(feed, control systems, physical & engineering control, dosimetry,
PRT technology etc.) is developed.
Partners: The Scientific and Technical Center "ITEP Medical Physics" Ltd., SSC RF - The High Energy Physics Institute (Protvino), SSC - The
Moscow Radiotechnical Institute, The D.V. Efremov Scientific and Research
Institute of the Electrophysical Equipment (St-Petersburg).
Project features and advantages: The construction originality allows
the irradiation of patents simultaniously and independently at all radiation
settings of the Centre, thanks to the fast the larger carrying capacity
(about 800 patients per year) can be achieved and the treatment course
price can be essentially reduced.
The carrying of the PRT Centre satisfies the requirements of a region
with the 5-6 millions population. Thus in Russia not less than 10 such
centers must be created. As to the export possibilities, they are quite
real by a purposeful activity in this direction.
The Centre equipment pries (including purchased equipment) amounts about
21 M$ USA, being 2-2,5 times cheaper in comparison with the foreign
(the USA, Japan etc.) one. The PRT Centre building constructing - and
- mounting price amounts to 15,5 M$ USA according to the design team
information.
The project realization term - 4,5 years
Including working design - 1,5 years
Equipment production and construction - 1,5 years
Mounting and setup - 1,5 - 2 years
The project pay back period - about 5 years
The beginning of clinical work may be realized in year after the equipment
mounting in the PRT Centre building begins. The carrying capacity will
be achieved in about 1,5-2 years.
The PRT centers construction in Russia (as in USA and Japan) has to
be achieved at the expense of either the federal budget or by means
of foreign investors. The variant of combined joint-stock companies
is possible.
Project protection : As the PRT centers all over the world are created
on the basis of the current hypotheses and solutions, so only the project
working documentation is subject to defence.
Documentation: There is the documentation amounting to the PRT Centre
constructing technical and economic feasibility at the Moscow municipal
hospital ¹ 62 and the promotional material.
PERSPECTIVE

of conical gearing hardened with the new method of ion nitration.
SURFACE TREATMENT OF MATERIALS
WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE PULSE PLASMA (HTPP)
The new method of strengthening the machine parts for the boring and
piping equipment for a wide circle of customers, as well as for using
in other branches of industry
The
TRINITY State Scientific Center (Troitsk, Moscow region)
The
investigations on the powerful high temperature pulse plasma streams
creation and their dynamics, as well as the pulse plasma accelerator
designing and creation were carried on in TRINITI at the period of more
then 40 years. The main aims of these works were:
- the fusion problem investigations and the investigation of mechanisms
of plasma stream – real material surface interaction at the last ten
years period
- the tests of real type of materials stability by the irradiation of
pulse plasma stream
- the HTPP treatment technological applications: the improving the properties
of material, machine part and tool surfaces after the HTPP irradiation.
TRINITI
in common with a number of industrial firms elaborated some methods
of the intermediate and the final treatment of the concrete machine
parts with the HTTP.
The concrete type machine part HTPP treatment methods were successfully
tested in many branches of industry in Russia and some foreign countries
(Japan, Holland, Sough Korea). But in the most cases the real technologies
were not created. The reasons were usually similar: the absence of the
finance or the closing of plants in Russia (AZLK, Gidroprivod and many
others); the difficulties to make business with foreign countries. Only
in several aircraft and car industry applications were created the real
technologies. The transferring the HTPP method into Russian industry
practically stopped after the start of “perestroika”.
Many
foreign firms (Precision Grinding - England; Dresser Canada Inc. and
Esmiron International — Canada; Daimler-Benz-Technology — Germany; Sovtech
and Hypermetallics Co — USA; Cobe Steel and Jema — Japan; Pioneer Metal,
Tronix, KIST and KIMM — South Korea and so on) are interested to buy
the HTPP equipment. But the development of the contacts with these firms
is restrained by the absence of prepared and checked technologies for
concrete applications; by the poor TRINITI's experience in technology
transferring and by the traditional difficulties in Russian business.
The most active in transfer contacts are the South Korea firms.
HTPP
method is protected by a set of USSR and Russia patents. The patent
searches and contacts with foreign experts show the absence of similar
methods abroad.
The base physical process in HTPP method is the very fast (several tens
of microsecond) heating of part surface layer by pulse plasma stream
irradiation and this heated layer cooling by the thermal conductivity
to the part body with the similar velocity. The fast hardening of the
surface layer may take place in such process. If the surface layer heating
was sufficiently high and the surface layer was malted the modification
of material properties may be much complicate and leading to such surface
changes as: melt-quenching, the melt-down the defects at the surface
(and the decreasing the amount of tension centers at the surface); the
increase of microhardness, of the corrosion resistance, of the metal
fatigue resistance and so on.
If the surface of metal sample was previously covered by the thin layer
of another kind of material, the hot plasma irradiation may melt the
covering together the layer of the base metal, mix them and generate
quite new material at the sample surface. Such new materials may be
generated in the new fine grain fazes, which can not be produced by
another methods.
HTPP
treatment apparatuses in the SSC TRINITI are of different plasma creation
types, different size and power. Some of them are oriented for treatment
of special types of parts and tools.
But in some cases it is necessary to make some changes in the treatment
camera construction to treat unusual machine parts (for example 10 meter
length tubes or 2 meter length turbine blades).
The advantages of the worked out HTPP method are:
- the relative technical simplicity
- the reliability of the HTPP equipment and the simplicity of its operating
- the ecological soundness of the method
- near to the hole absence of the material expenditure
- the very low power inputs (2-10 kW)
- the low number of necessary technological operations (1-2)
- the absents of the treated part heating usually coused the thermal
part warping of treated part
- the possibility of the fast introduction HTPP method to industry.
By
the comparative low cost of HTPP equipment, the simplicity of its operation
and low cost of service, the practically absence of the material expenditure
and by the ecological soundness of the plasma treatment process, it
is the perspective method for every branch of industry.
In the process of applying the HTPP method in concrete industry process
some problems must be checked and previously solved:
- the possibility and the efficiency of concrete machine part HTPP irradiation
must be demonstrated with the existent HTPP devices
- the drawings for the experimental HTPP device must be checked on the
subject of the possibility to modificate the concrete types of machine
parts
- built up and tested at the executor's building the experimental HTPP
equipment and the customer's experimental sample test treatment
- the system which pushes and holds the parts inside the treatment chamber
is worked out, designed, and tested
- the last system must to provide the necessary productivity of the
HTPP equipment and don't prevent the hot plasma formation
- the technology of the concrete customer's part treatment was worked
out
- the HTPP device was worked out, tested and handled over to customer
with the demonstration of its efficiency at his territory
- the customer's personal was trained the methods of operation the HTPP
equipment.
TRINITI is able to organize the production of HTPP equipment. The existence
of modules of HTPP equipment lets fast constructing the different type
and power devices.
HTPP devices may be used effectively at the great number of plants and
workshops. Our already gotten experience in HTPP method using may be
used in different branches of industry and first of all in the tool-making,
gas and oil producing, car, tractor, aircraft, medicine, chemical, atomic
and many others.
The HTPP equipment cost depends on the type and size of parts to treat.
The most part of the cost lays in the cost of electrical capacitors,
which necessary amount depends on the surface size to treat at every
realization. So the total cost varies from 100 till 1000 thousand dollars.

Synthesis
of Uranium and Plutonium Nitrides for Nuclear Fuel Material
The
ARRICT, Moscow
VNIITF, Snezhinsk
Mixed
uranium-plutonium nitride fuel is considered to be the most perspective
for power fast neutron reactors of BN-800 and BREST type.
One
of the most feasible methods for uranium and plutonium production is
the pyro-chemical synthesis from compact metals. The compact uranium
and plutonium have to be hydrated and dehydrated at low temperatures
in order to obtain powders. Plutonium hydride was obtained at 2800C
and was dehydrated in vacuum at a higher temperature. The plutonium
powder was treated with gaseous nitrogen at 3000C; black PuN was obtained.
Uranium
hydride was obtained from compact metal by interaction with hydrogen
at 280-3000C. At temperature 4000C it is completely dehydrated in vacuum.
The
uranium powder is to be heated in the flux of pure nitrogen at 450 to
10000C producing UN1+x.
The
study has allowed to design pilot-plant equipment capacitive of 10 tons
of uranium nitride and 1.5 tons of plutonium nitride annually.
Creation of a complex to process the monazite concentrate
The
NIKIET)
The VNIICT
The GSPI
Moscow
Eighty
two thousand tons of monazite concentrate have been stored from 1960
in twenty three granaries, built in 1941-1942, and which now serve as
storage base the of the SE «Uralmonazite» in Krasnoufunsk, Sverdlovsk
Region. The buildings are in a state of wrecking. The monazite concentrate
contains more than 7000 tons of thorium oxides with a total reactivity
of 7800 Cu. Works in the storage buildings are impossible without using
the means of radiation protection from inhalation effect and ã-rradiation
(8100 mSv annually, when the norm, acceding to the Norms of Radiation
Safety 98, is 20 mSv).
Presence
of this radiation reactivity source is significantly dangerous and hazardous
for the local population and environment.
At
the sonic time the monazite contains 54 % (about 45 thousand tons) of
rear-earth metals, a necessity in which for the Russian industry is
quite evident. Beginning from 1996 a number of enterprises under Minatom
has elaborated technical-economic indices and substantiation of investments,
which showed that this project, along with solving the problem of rehabilitation
of the territory of storage buildings and ensuring normative storage
of thorium, can provide a considerable economic effect under condition
of establishing manufacture of various products on the basis of extracting
the total concentrate of rear-earth metals from monazite.
The report is dedicated to the technological and design solutions of
this problem.
Xenon
Anaesthesia and Therapeutics
The
NIKIET(Moscow)
On
the basis of nuclear rocket engine technologies a plant to produce super-pure
Kr and Xe was built in 1992 in Zarecny town (Sverdlovsk Region) on the
order of CERN (Geneva, Switzerland). The purely of gases is 99,9999%,
which is the highest index for all known today production sites Linde
(Germany), Air Liquid (France), etc. As of today NIK1ET is one of the
leading suppliers of these gases on the external market.
It
was in 1995 when the first works on using xenon in medicine as an anaesthesiological
means began. This anaesthetic is called an anaesthetic of the twenty
first century. NIKIET has designed and developed a universal unit for
narcosis apparatus of any structure, and Has unit provides a possibility
to effect xenon narcosis with a sequential collecting of the xenon,
already used during a surgical operation. At present more than ten clinics
in Russia have already introduced xenon anaesthesia in their practice.
The
same apparatus are used for the therapeutic treatment of a number of
diseases with xenon including drug addiction, alcoholism; etc.
A
number of optolaser devices have been introduced into medical practice
for diagnostics and treatment and these devices have been designed and
produced on the basis of nuclear rocket engine technologies. They include
measuring box of a laser radiation with a program monitoring laser fluorimeter
for identification and early diagnostics of malignant tumors in man,
and a number of other devices.
The
report will present the results of the works of NIKIET in these trends
of medical technologies.
