Experimental trials of the Topaz‐2 nuclear power system (NPS) have been carried out according to the Integrated Experimental Trials Program (IETP). This program involved ground off‐line tests of the reactor unit assembly units and their integrated tests as components of the prototype systems. Scopes of tests performed and major results of integrated and off‐line tests were presented in the paper by Vladimir P. Nikitin et al. (1993). This paper considers major results of off‐line life tests of the cesium unit, automatic control drive, ionization chamber suspension and dry friction pairs. These tests have been carried out in the Central Design Bureau for Machine Building (CDBMB) between 1982 and April, 1994.
