Abstract
This paper demonstrates the recent years experience in core design and operating in the Loviisa NPP. The two units of Loviisa NPP are run with reduced core and 1500?MW power. Both units are currently in nearly equilibrium 3-batch fuel cycle. Two different fuel types are used: first unit (Loviisa-1) runs with BNFL fuel whereas TVEL fuel is used in the 2nd unit (Loviisa-2).
