ABSTRACT
 

Pin type fuel element (FE) of square form with twisted ribs was developed in VNIINM as an alternative for tube type FE of research reactors. Two variants of full-scale fuel assemblies (FA) are under test in the core of PNPI WWR-M reactor. One FA contains FE with UO2 LEU and other – UMo LEU. Both types of FE have an aluminum matrix. Results of the first stages of the test are presented.
