Experience on Development and Production of Vibropac MOX Fuel for Fast Reactors

The main results are presented on comprehensive study on the development of technology and design as well as in-pile investigations of fast reactor fuel pins with (U,Pu)O2 vibropac fuel. Their high performance is demonstrated up to a burnup of 26% of h.a.. The efficiency of application of pyroelectrochemical methods for nuclear fuel reprocessing and vibropac technology for plutonium utilization is estimated.
