TVEL JSC and MVM Paks NPP Ltd have signed an engineering services contract for introduction of modified second generation fuel assemblies for VVER-440 reactors at the existing units of Paks NPP.
Engineers of TVEL Fuel Company will develop a new modification of fuel assemblies with increased uranium capacity and optimized hydro-uranium ratio in comparison with the assemblies currently used at Paks NPP. This would improve economic efficiency of the power units while maintaining the current fuel cycle performance.
At present, Paks NPP is the only nuclear power plant in the world with VVER-440 reactors which functions in extended 15-monthes fuel cycle. TVEL currently supplies to Paks NPP second generation nuclear fuel produced by Machinery plant JSC (a fabrication enterprise of TVEL Fuel Company in Elektrostal, Moscow region). The valid contract relations between
