Abstract
The basic results of the measures taken to increase the fuel utilization efficiency of RBMK reactors and the promising directions for developing them are examined. The results of a staged increase of fuel enrichment and the introduction of a consumable absorber (erbium) into the fuel are presented. It is shown that the work performed not only greatly improved the cost-effectiveness of RBMK-1000 but should also increase the reliability of fuel operation, which was reflected in a substantial decrease of fuel assembly failures.
