Description

This paper deals with the compensation for unwanted even uranium isotopes present in reprocessed uranium (RepU) by increasing the 235U enrichment level of the material. Furthermore, it presents the operational experience with enriched reprocessed uranium (ERU) fuel in the WWER-440 reactor unit Kola-2 and the WWER-1000 reactor unit Kalinin-2. (author)
