Description

The aim of the paper is to consider the coated fuel particles (CFP) application in the WWER reactors with the purpose of increasing their safety. It is shown that CFP using does not require the reactor design variation. It is noted also that WWER with CFP may ensure the radiation safety for any heavy accidents including diversions

Abstract (Russian)

В статье рассматривается вопрос применения микротвэлов в ВВЭР в целях повышения их безопасности. Применение микротвэлов не требует изменения конструкции реактора. Отмечается, что ВВЭР с микротвэлами могут обеспечить радиационную безопасность при любых тяжелых авариях, включая диверсии
