Techno-economic prognostications for the manufacture of fuel assemblies with mixed uranium-plutonium fuel for the VVER-SKD power reactor, which is now under development, show that at the current level of technological development of pressurized water-cooled reactors in our country and the world the share of the fuel component in the price of electricity generated by NPP with VVER-SKD will not exceed the level realized by modern VVER, PWR, and BWR reactors. Moreover, considering the higher efficiency of VVER-SKD compared to the customary VVER/PWR reactors, maintaining the share of the fuel component in the cost of electricity at the current level will give this innovative reactor technology significant competitive advantages in regional electricity markets.
