History

2023: Introduction of fuel assemblies for Western-designed nuclear reactors

Specialists fuel company TVEL and other enterprises Rosatom involved in the creation of nuclear fuel presented China in the strategy for the development of nuclear fuel for Russian VVER design reactors, as well as solutions for fuel for low-power reactors. This is stated in the message of TVEL dated July 24, 2023. Particular attention was paid to the Russian Russian proposal for the design of fuel assemblies (fuel assemblies) and fuel cycles for western design light-water reactors PWR based on the Russian design fuel TVSK. The production of TVS-Kvadrat nuclear fuel is organized at the TVEL enterprise Novosibirsk , a chemical concentration plant (PJSC NZHK). More. here

2021: Creation of industrial production of fuel fuel "TVS-Kvadrat"

At the Novosibirsk Chemical Concentration Plant (PJSC NZHK; the enterprise of the fuel company Rosatom "TVEL") completed the project to create the production of fuel oil TVS-Kvadrat for Western design reactors PWR. This is stated in the message of TVEL dated December 28, 2021.

The production area will allow the supply of various fuel modifications TVS-K (TVS-K) in commercial volumes for operators NPP with PWR reactors.

The project, taking into account all the many years of experience in the development of nuclear fuel fabrication facilities in Rosatom, was implemented using modern equipment and technologies with the wide use of digital solutions. The high degree of automation and control and measurement operations at each stage of production provide the necessary level of fuel quality in accordance with the requirements of customers, the fuel element emphasized.

"The reference operating experience and post-reactor studies confirmed the declared characteristics of Russian fuel for PWR. The launch of TVS-Kvadrat on the global market will ensure the diversification of PWR fuel supplies not only by suppliers, but also by technology. Russian fuel has original "genetics" - these are structural materials, and an approach to the manufacture of a fuel composition, etc. Fuel TVS-Kvadrat is based on Russian technological solutions that do not fall under export control restrictions from other states, "said Natalya Nikipelova, President of TVEL JSC.
