Abstract :

As a result of research for about 10 years in the FSUE â�?�?SSC RF - IPPEâ�?, OKB â�?�?Hydropressâ�?�?, â�?�?Kurchatov Instituteâ�?, NIKIET with water cooled reactors with SCP with thermal and fast neutron spectra. Since 2006 JSC â�?�?SSC RF - IPPEâ�? and OKB â�?�?Hydropressâ�? are working together to conceptual design WWER-SKD - SKP single-loop NPP with coolant with fast-resonance neutron spectrum capacity of Ne = 1700 MW. This Rector has been acknowledged as the prospect of WWER technology with the ability of a transition to the use of MOX-based (U-Pu-Th) fuel and the closed fuel cycle. State Corporation â�?�?Rosatomâ�? recognized this trend as an innovative system and signed an agreement on Russiaâ�?�?s participation in the GIF towards SCWR. There is a possibility of using reactors VVERSKD with a quickly-resonant spectrum of neutrons capacity from 0.3 to 30Ð�?Ð�?�?�? for nuclear stations of low power (АСÐ�?Ð�?) are considered. Results of neutron-physical calculations of fuel cycles with MOX-fuel from oxide uranium and plutonium with possible duration of campaign from 2 till 20 years are presented. Preliminary results of calculations weight-dimensional characteristics in comparison with others offered ЯЭУ the specified appointment are resulted. The received results can be used at a substantiation and development of the concept of the developed reactors cooled by water at supercritical parameters, the big capacity for the future atomic.
