Rosatom fuel company TVEL and the Troitsk Institute of Innovative & Thermonuclear Research (TRINITI) have developed a technology to decontaminate radiation-contaminated metal equipment using ozone baths. TVEL says it is much more efficient than foreign counterparts, and makes it possible to significantly reduce time needed to treat secondary liquid radwaste.

A technology unique to the Russian nuclear industry has been developed by order of Rosatom’s fuel company Tvel at the Troitsk Institute for Innovation & Fusion Research (Triniti) as part of Rosatom’s Unified Industry Technical R&D Plan. In the R&D phase, an experimental stand was created to test a decontamination technology using high concentration ozone, and a transportable stand was made for decontamination of NPP pipe equipment.

Experimental accident tolerant fuel (ATF) elements are being tested in the MIR research reactor at the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (NIIAR) in Dimitrovgrad, Russian fuel company TVEL (part of Rosatom) said on 19 May. Scientists have completed new stages of research as part of the programme to develop Russian "tolerant" nuclear fuel ATF of a new generation of light water reactors including Russian VVERs and foreign-designed pressurised water reactors (PWRs).

The AA Bochvar Research Institute of Inorganic Materials (VNIINM), a subsidiary of Russian nuclear fuel manufacturer TVEL, has successfully developed the technology and manufactured experimental fuel pellets from uranium disilicide for light water reactors. The move is part of a programme for the development of so-called accident-tolerant fuel (ATF).

Each of the three combined TVS-2M fuel assemblies, designed for Russia’s VVER-1000 power reactors, contains 12 experimental fuel rods. Six of them have their cladding made of chromium-nickel alloy, and the other six have a standard zirconium alloy cladding with chromium coating.

The fuel was loaded into the 950-MW plant during a scheduled maintenance and refuelling and the plant has now returned to service.

Advanced fuel assemblies have begun an operational trial at Russia's Rostov nuclear power plant. Fuel manufacturer TVEL said if successful they would provide a higher level of performance and safety. "Fuel irradiation in a commercial reactor is an important step for the further commercialisation of this product," said Natalia Nikipelova, president of TVEL, adding: "It is symbolic that this milestone is achieved when TVEL celebrates its 25th anniversary."

OECD experts foresee that accident tolerant fuels (ATF) will dominate the nuclear fuel market within 10 to 20 years. This is a very short timeframe by the standards of the nuclear industry, where reactor research and preparation alone can take up to a decade, writes Natalia Nikipelova, president of Russian nuclear fuel manufacturer TVEL. Such an optimistic forecast means that ATF is a product very much anticipated by the market. After all, ensuring nuclear safety - that there will be no serious consequences even in the event of incidents as grave as Fukushima - is a crucial step towards increasing public acceptance of nuclear energy. And, as we all know, where there is demand, supply will follow.
