Rosatom manufactures nitride and oxide uranium-plutonium fuels for the BN-1200 fast reactor
Rosatom proceeds with its successful research and development efforts to validate innovative nuclear fuels for next-generation fast neutron reactors. Two core designs with different types of uranium-plutonium nuclear fuel are being developed for the BN-1200 reactor: oxide MOX fuel, similar to that used in the BN-800 reactor, and dense nitride MNUP fuel, similar to the…
