Kudankulam: AFR controversy continues
The conflict over the proposed dry storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel from the Kudankulam nuclear power plant (India) has reached a new level.
The local authorities, who oppose the storage facilities, are calling for the central government to join the discussion and either return the spent nuclear fuel to Russia or place it in a permanent geological storage facility, which, by the way, is not available in India.
Recall that in 1998, when signing an agreement with Russia on the construction of the Kudankulam nuclear power plant, the Indian side insisted that the spent nuclear fuel would remain in India for processing.
Prior to being sent for reprocessing, the plant irradiated fuel is stored in spent fuel pools, from where it is planned...

TVEL will introduce new fuel and extended fuel cycle at Kudankulam NPP
Compared to the UTVS fuel model, which is currently supplied to Kudankulam NPP, TVS-2M fuel assemblies have a number of advantages making them more reliable and cost-effective.
First, it is the rigidity of a bundle: because of the welded frame, the fuel assemblies in the reactor core retain their geometry, the spacer grids protect fuel rod cladding from fretting wear (preventing from depressurization), and the additional spacer grid makes fuel assemblies more vibration-resistant.
Secondly, the new fuel has increased uranium capacity - one TVS-2M assembly contains 7.6% more fuel material as compared to UTVS.
Everything that we offer to our Indian partners is focused...

The secondary sources are already helping to reduce the consumption of natural uranium for the operation of nuclear power plants, but the main breakthrough in the efficiency of uranium use is expected after the widespread introduction of the closed nuclear fuel cycle (NFC).
