Description
Data on RMBK-1000 and RBMK-1500 fuel are presented in this paper. The analysis of the fuel assembly failure describes reasons and measures for the improvement of fuel reliability (by introducing new fabrication methods, more severe requirements for operating conditions, and improvement of fuel designs). All these measures made it possible to reach a failure level of 0.02% of the total discharged fuel from the RBMK-1500 reactor. (author). 5 figs, 3 tabs
