Kazakhstan recently announced the successful conversion of the VVR-K research reactor at the Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP) to low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel, following the previous conversion of the VVR-K critical assembly.
This work was performed in collaboration with Argonne under the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Material Management and Minimization (M3) Reactor Conversion Program. For more information, contact Jordi Roglans (NE), at ext. 2-3283.
