Abstract

19th session of the AER Working Group F – «Nuclear Fuel Cycle Prospective and Sustainability» was held by National Research Centre “Kurchatov Institute” in Moscow, Russia, 23 – 26 of July, 2018. 21 participants from Czech Republic, Hungary, Russian Federation and Slovak Republic introduced and discussed 16 reports. These reports cover a variety of topics, including:

- Nuclear energy system structure for sustainable development;
- Advanced VVER nuclear fuel cycles;
- REMIX-technology for VVER closed nuclear fuel cycle
- Nonelectric application of nuclear power and synergy with non-nuclear power technologies;
- Burnup code verification on the basis of irradiated VVER-440 fuel benchmark;
- VVER spent nuclear fuel management strategy;
- Nuclear fuel cycle simulation.

The next 20th session of the AER Working Group F – «Nuclear Fuel Cycle Prospective and Sustainability» is planned to organize in July 2019, Moscow, Russia.
