Processing of Used Nuclear Fuel
Russia has an old 400 t/yr RT1 oxide fuel reprocessing plant at Ozersk (near Chelyabinsk, Siberia), the main feed for which has been VVER440 fuel, including that from Ukraine and Hungary. The partlybuilt 3000 t/yr RT2 plant at Zheleznogorsk in Siberia has been redesigned and first stage completion of 700 t/yr is expected about 2025.
