Development and justification of fuel efficiency for subcritical installation driven by electron accelerator

Abstract

The variants of design and technological features of manufacturing of fuel assemblies for the subcritical nuclear installation “Neutron Source” controlled by an electron accelerator, with rod-type fuel elements are presented. Developed fuel is an alternative for VVR-M2 fuel, produced and supplied by PJSC NCCP (Russia) to Ukrainian nuclear research installations. The results of pre-reactor tests, neutronic and thermo-hydraulic calculations are shown to substantiate reliability and safety of using developed fuel in a subcritical installation.
