Description
Exploitation of VVER-440 as the First-tier reactor at the Multi-tier transmutation system is suggested. Influence of appropriate modification of fuel management on VVER-440 fuel cycle back-end is analysed numerically by the spectral code HELIOS. Theoretical model is based on preliminary evaluation of VVER-440 transmutation potential. Partially closed fuel cycles of the reactor VVER-440 are characterised. Two types of so called 'combined fuel assembly' with 'transmutation pins' are described. Non-uranium fuel pins are used at the first type and inert matrix fuel is typical for the second one. Quantitative results of developed cycles are compared with 'classical' open fuel cycle
