Abstract
The exploitation of the fuel in water-cooled reactors can be improved by changing the design and the operational conditions of the reactor and also by replacing in those reactors the uranium dioxide by other types of fuel, e.g., by uranium fuel of increased density. In the modernization of reactors (without fuel replacement) one can reduce the consumption of natural uranium fed to the reactor in stationary operation by about 20%. A method is presented of calculating the conversion coefficient and the neutron balance. Results are presented.
