Description

The authors consider methods of destructive and non-destructive analysis of spent fuel and their use to determine the burnup and isotopic composition of WWER reactor fuel. The potentialities and accuracy inherent in these techniques are discussed. The paper describes a semi-empirical method for determining fuel burnup and isotopic composition, which is based on solving burnup equations using non-destructive analysis data. Use of experimental data on the WWER fuel burnup and isotopic composition to correct calculation programmes is considered. (author)
