The first Russian-made nuclear fuel bundle with accident-proof experimental fuel rods (ATF) is loaded into the VVER-1000 reactor core at the second unit of the Rostov Nuclear Power Plant (NGS) in southwestern Russia, which has been reactivated after scheduled maintenance and refueling.

Each of the TVS-2M model’s 3 combined VVER-100 fuel assemblies contains 12 experimental fuel rods, six of which are chrome-nickel alloys and six of which have a standard zirconium outer shell plated with chrome.
