Description
Summary: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.
