The Corporation has successfully conducted the verification of nuclear fuel for Poland
The Corporation has successfully conducted the verification of nuclear reactor fuel on the basis of low enriched uranium (LEU) at the only operating in Poland research reactor Maria. Now the Corporation will have the opportunity to participate in the tender for supply in Poland. Hungary, Czech Republic and Ukraine are already buying Russian LEU fuel.
" finished initiated in 2013 reactor test 2 experimental fuel assemblies fuel assemblies with Mr KNOW-fuel (enriched uranium) in a research reactor Maria and initial post-research work ", - reported in the report of the organization TSER state Corporation Rosatom. TSER is a manufacturer and supplier of fuel for a research boiler, built with Soviet technical assistance. Inspection of fuel assemblies Russian and Polish Experts concluded that the Assembly has to maintain integrity and not have external deformation. Now TSER will have the opportunity to participate in the tender for the production and delivery of nuclear fuel for the only operating in Poland Maria research reactor ". The Maria reactor, named after the famous Polish scientist, twice Nobel laureate Maria sk?odowska-Curie, was launched in 1974. From TSER to the workplace with the fuel on the basis of low-enriched uranium already converted research reactors of Russian design in Hungary, Vietnam, Libya, Uzbekistan, Ukraine and the Czech Republic. This list can be added and Poland. Reduction program for fuel enrichment research and test boilers (RERTR), coordinated by the IAEA, is one of the key areas of cooperation between Russia and Poland in the field of peaceful uses of nuclear energy. It specialists TSER developed and mastered the mass production of new types of fuel with LEU for research boilers, which allowed TSER 2013 completely stop the supply abroad of fuel assemblies with highly enriched uranium (HEU). Work on the creation of low-enriched fuel allow the organization to retain customers of Russian products. Translation supplied fuel from a category enriched in the category of low-enriched also serves to strengthen the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.
