New types of fuel
TVEL Corporation intensively upgrades the existing and implements new types of fuel for nuclear power plants, research and propulsion reactors.
VVER reactors are studied to make increase uranium-consuming cores to implement more effective fuel cycles.
R&D activities are carried out for the third generation FA designed for VVER-440 to obtain better characteristics resulted from FA water-uranium ratio optimization.

Interesting facts about nuclear energy
Radioactive phenomenon was discovered by Antuan Becquerel in 1898. At first it was thought that the discovered radiation is emitted by an atom. But only later it became known that their source is a nucleus.
The first nuclear reactor was built in the USA in 1942 under the direction of Enrico Fermi. In the USSR the first reactor was commissioned 4 years later. The project was headed by Igor Kurchatov.
In 2000, nuclear power industry was the first to achieve the “pre-perestroika” level of production, as compared with other industries. Since 1998 Russia’s NPPs have provided annual growth of electricity generation in an average by 7 Bln kWh.
