ABSTRACT
Regular 15th session of the Working Group F «Nuclear Fuel Cycle Perspectives and Sustainability» was organized by National Research Centre “Kurchatov Institute” and held in Moscow, Russian Federation, July 14 – 17, 2014.
The themes of session were as follows:
1. Advancement of Nuclear Power structure for sustainable development 2. Future Nuclear Power resources supply for VVER
3. Advanced nuclear fuel cycles for VVER
4. REMIX-technology for VVER working in closed nuclear fuel cycle 5. Heavy nuclides using as burnable absorbers in VVER
6. Combined U-Pu-Th fuel cycle for VVER
7. Incineration of MA and transmutation of long-lived RW
8. Fuel cycle simulation
