Silicon Carbide has been considered for use in Dual Fluid Reactor (DFR) as a construction material. Very good understanding of behaviour SiC during irradiation at high temperature is a key to safety and long term operation of DFR. The evolution of defects during irradiation and annealing to define the repair mechanism is still under study. Positron annihilation is one of the method which can be used to investigate the evaluation of defects in the irradiated SiC.

At the Join Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia), a new large research device - the NICA Collider - has been under construction for several years. An additional cosmic ray detector (MCORD) is designed for the main detector set (MPD). This detector, in addition to the obvious function of detecting cosmic ray particles, would be nice to improve recognition (detection) of muons from the collision and to work as an additional trigger for other sub-detectors. The MCORD detector elements are also to be used to calibrate other detectors before starting the beam.
