The equipment received under the IAEA technical cooperation project is intended to test concrete for frost resistance with an operating temperature of -20 - 50⁰С. It can significantly accelerate the technological process of reinforced concrete containers manufacturing used in the process of liquid radioactive waste management at the Chornobyl NPP.

The accelerated method of determining the frost resistance index in the technological process of shielded containers manufacturing for treated LRAW storage allows reducing the time for concrete testing from 100 days to 20 days.

The automatic control mode eliminates the regular involvement of personnel, which increases the reliability of the results due to the elimination of errors caused by human factors.
