Description

The work presently carried out to improve the existing designs of fuel rods and assemblies for the Soviet-type PWR-VVER is described. It is aimed at the solution of the following problems: to more effectively use uranium to fulfill the required operating parameters and to reduce the load on fuel fabrication and reprocessing plants. The main emphasis is given to the increase of burnup and load follow operation. (author)
