Experience in DOVITA Program Irradiated (U,Np)O 2 fuel, 19% burn-up Pyrochemical technology of adding Np into oxide fuel (5- 20%) has been developed Performance of vi-pack fuel with (U,Np)O 2 fuel has been validated experimentally to ~20% burnup in BOR-60 No evidence of significant difference in performance of fuel rods with (U,Np)O 2 fuel compared with UO 2 or MOX fuel rods has been noticed Pyrochemical process of codeposition of Am with MOX fuel (2-4%) has been developed Methods of Am/REE separation in melts has been tested Special vi-pack targets containing Am oxide with UO2 or inert matrix have been developed Transmutation of Np, Am, Cm is being studied in BOR-60 19
