Sorry for double prompt for additional information, I pressed reload button occassionally...
пiдкритична збiрка = subcritical assembly
урановодна = uranium-water
Explanation:
Подкритическая сборка (Subcritical assembly) - исследовательская ядерная установка, не позволяющая осуществлять самоподдерживающуюся цепную ядерную реакцию из-за ограничений в распределении и конфигурации делящегося материала.
