摘要:
The invention refers to nuclear fuel (10), a fuel element (4), a fuel assembly (1) and a method of manufacturing nuclear fuel. The nuclear fuel is adapted for use in a water cooled nuclear reactor, including light water reactors LWR, such as Boiling Water Reactors BWR and Pressure Water Reactors PWR. The nuclear fuel comprises an uranium- containing compound consisting of UN. The uranium content of the uranium- containing compound comprises less than 10% by weight of the isotope 235U. The nuclear fuel comprises an additive substantially consisting of at least one element, in elementary form or as a compound, selected from the group consisting of Zr, Mo, Si, Al, Nb and U.
