Abstract
For future nuclear power with fast reactors with sodium (BN-1200) and lead (BREST) as coolants, plans are being made to use mixed uranium-plutonium nitride fuel as part of the Proryv project. A technology for carbothermal synthesis of mixed uranium-plutonium mononitride fuel and fabrication of pellets from it has now been developed. A program of comprehensive computational and experimental research on fuel to study the initial properties and their change under irradiation in reactor experiments is being implemented. Some results of pre-reactor studies of the properties of fuel and a program for future research are presented.
