BN reactor fuel
In the 1970’s JSC Mashinostroitelny Zavod commenced serial production of BN-350 and BN-600 nuclear fuel. BN-600 fuel is characterized by increased enrichment by uranium-235 as compared with VVER. Due to liquid sodium coolant used in BN reactor corrosion resistance steel is used as a structural material for fuel rods and assemblies.

RBMK-1000 fuel assemblies have been serially manufactured since 1973 but RBMK-1500 fuel assemblies were commenced in 1982. The supplies are made to Russia (Leningrad NPP, Kursk NPP, Smolensk NPP) and Lithuania (Ignalina NPP).
The RBMK-1000 and RBMK-1500 fuel assemblies with burnable poison are made of zirconium alloys. Their life is up to 8 years to ensure nuclear safety and good economics. RBMK-1000 fuel assemblies widely use the recovered nuclear fuel.

Global nuclear power
Nuclear power is to meets growing energy demands of mankind while reserves of non-recoverable resources are limited. Nuclear fuel, as compared to other energy vectors, gives the possibility to generate millions of times more energy. Moreover, the resources here are not exhaustible. Additionally, nuclear power contribution to the growth of “greenhouse effect” is negligible.
Nuclear power share amounts to approximately 16% of total electricity generation in Russia. Nuclear share of the entire energy mix for the European part of the country is 30% and for the Northwest – approximately 40%.
The Russian nuclear industry consists of about 200 enterprises with more than 300,000 employees. Four large scientific and production complexes form the structure of the industry and include enterprises of nuclear fuel cycle and nuclear weapons, nuclear power scientific and research institutes and enterprises.
