Description
Accident reflecting drop of a fuel assembly (FA) in core mesh during the overload operations in the INP AS RUz research reactor is observed. Calculations and analysis of the accident situation were carried out for the reactor cores formed from fully high enriched IRT-3M type fuel (36% enrichment on '235U), the first mixed core consisting from 16 IRT-3M and 4 IRT-4M with low enriched fuel (19.7% enrichment on 235U), and the core fully formed from low enriched fuel.
