Description

Base-line designs of fuel assemblies for VVER-1000 of new generation have been developed: TVSA - developed by OKBM (pilot operation completed); TVS-2 - developed by OKB Gidropress (pilot operation is underway). The main objective for further development of nuclear fuel for VVER-1000 reactor is the increase in burnup up to 70 MW.days/kg U and extension of service life up to 6 years at the expense of fuel assemblies uranium-intensity and maximum use of design potential. We recommend 'Belene' NPP to use up-to-date fuel cycle on the basis of usage of TVSA and TVS-2 as option
