[en] There are 4 NPP working in Ukraine now, which used 13 WWER-1000 and 2 WWER-440 nuclear power units with total installed capacity of 13,835 MW

[en] The presentation provides information about nuclear fuel reproduction and the U-Pu fuel cycle; the history of the Breed and Burn concept and the traveling wave concept; the non-stationary theory of nuclear burning wave; the Nuclear Burning Wave in Fast Reactor with U-Pu Fuel; nuclear burning wave in 5m length cylindrical FR for different reactor radius R and about the Reactor Power Control by Reflector Efficiency

[en] Main features of NBW reactor with mixed Th-U-Pu fule cycle: Reactor composition (vol. frac.): Fuel = 55% (F_Th = 62%, p = 0.80), Coolant = 30%, CM = 15%, R = 215 cm: - negative feedback on reactivity - intrinsic safety; - long-term (decades) operation without refueling and external control; - possibility of ²³²Th and ²³⁸U utilization as a fuel; - fuel burn-up depth for both ²³⁸U and ²³²Th ≈ 50%; - neutron flux in active zone ≈ 2·10¹⁵ n/cm²s; - neutron fluence during the whole reactor campaign ≈ 3·1024 n/cm²; - energy production density in active zone ≈ 200 W/cm³; - total power at the steady-state regime ≈ 1.2 GW; - wave velocity at the steady-state regime ≈ 2 cm/year; - possibility of nuclear waste burn out (expected)
