India. Rosatom began deliveries of new nuclear fuel for the Kudankulam NPP in India. Compared to UTVS fuel, which was previously supplied to Kudankulam, TVS-2M fuel assemblies have a number of advantages. Firstly, the rigidity of the structure, and secondly, the increased uranium consumption: one TVS-2M fuel assembly contains 7.6% more fuel. “We offer foreign customers solutions that have been successfully tested in the Russian nuclear power industry. TVS-2M fuel is effectively operated in the 18-month fuel cycle at Balakovo and Rostov NPPs, as well as at the operating power units of the Tianwan NPP in China,” said Alexander Ugryumov, Senior Vice President for Science and Technology at Rosatom fuel division.
