Description

The transport cask C-30 with basket T-12 was developed in former East Germany for VVER-440 fuel with enrichment 3.6%. Later was in Slovakia developed the new compact basket KZ-48 for VVER-440 fuel with enrichment 4.4% and maximal burnup 55 MWd/kgU. The present licence is for VVER-440 fuel with enrichment 4.4% and maximal burnup 60 MWd/kgU. The future licence need to be for VVER-440 fuel with average enrichment 4.87% and maximal burnup 70 MWd/kg. In this paper are criticality, inventory and shielding analyses described .
