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.
