Description
Summary:The Rosatom State Corporation activity in the nuclear fuel market requires the development of new designs and modifications meeting the current requirements of safety and operational reliability. The history of the development of a competitive fuel meeting heightened requirements of economic efficiency, safety, and operational reliability for NPP with VVER and PWR is presented. Ways to improve the Russian fuel for homegrown and foreign reactors are described. The development of fuel resistant to beyond-design basis accidents is considered.
