Abstract
Fuel elements with mixed uranium-plutonium nitride fuel were tested in an IGR reactor to justify their application in a BREST-OD-300 reactor. The mid-radial enthalpy limit for the fresh mixed nitride fuel as experimentally determined during IGR launching with fast reactivity input amounted to 167 cal/g. The maximum temperature of 1000 °C and its maintenance for 100 s, comprising one of the design limits for the fuel cladding temperature, was experimentally confirmed. The main results of the performed experiments and post-irradiation studies are analyzed.
