Rosatom State Corporation has completed the removal of nuclear fuel from the second power unit of the Leningrad NPP. Fuel assemblies that have used less than half of their resource have been transported to the operating power units of the plant for further operation, the state corporation's press service reported.
The possibility and validity of the proposals of the Leningrad nuclear scientists for the post-irradiation examination of nuclear fuel from the stopped reactors were confirmed by the institutes of scientific and technical support – NIKIET, Kurchatov Institute, and VNIIAES.
The implementation of this initiative will save 1010 new fuel assemblies.
