The activity profile of Bulgarian Hydrogen Society:
The organization structure of BHS, constituted on 17 February 2004, established it as a national coordinator in the non-governmental sector in the field of the hydrogen technologies. The association collaborates:
by Consultation and Coordination Council “BHS-EHA-NATO” – with the Presidency, the Government, the Council of Ministers, the President of BAS and the Rector of UCTM; by Permanent thematic committees on the problems of the defense, energetics, environment and education – with the related parliament commissions, ministries as well as public, municipal and private corporations interested in the hydrogen technologies. International Conference "High Technologies in the Defence against Terrorism"
From 23rd to 25th November 2007 in Sofia, Bulgarian Hydrogen Society organized international conference entitled High Technologies in the Defence against Terrorism. The Conference was held under auspices of the Minister of Defence and Minister of Interior of R. Bulgaria.
ANTIOXI project - a deterministic model for corrosion and activity incorporation in nuclear power plants
To accomplish this objective a team of three organisations (i.e. VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, ALARA Engineering AB and BG H2 Society) working actively in the field of nuclear energy has been established. All these partners have a long experience on the field of study. VTT and BG H2 Society share the same interest in modelling the oxide film behaviour in different process conditions. On the other hand, ALARA Engineering has a long history in monitoring of nuclear reactor components and environments. The ANTIOXI project will implement current knowledge of the nuclear power plant chemistry, activity build-up and material behaviour together with extensive theoretical modelling in those environments in one entity to develop safer and more user-friendly tools for maintaining the power plants.
The overall objective of the ANTIOXI project is to construct a deterministic predictive model for activity build-up and corrosion phenomena in nuclear power plants (NPP), based on an improved mechanistic understanding and tested against real-life data from selected LWRs providing activity and chemistry data. The purpose of this kind of model is to help estimating activity build-up rates in present and future nuclear power plants in Europe in a quantitative way and predicting trends in these rates in order to provide a more comprehensive basis for the planning of support actions of the maintenance personnel.
Opening of the BHS Club
On the Day of the leaders of Bulgarian Nation, 01 November 2004, the Minister of Defence Mr Nikolai Svinarov opened the Club of Bulgarian Hydrogen Society, at 82 Krichim str., Sofia, Lozenec district. It was presented on the opening vice ministers, Ministry of Defence and General Staff authorities of the Bulgarian Army as well as heads of the institutions co-founders.
