| Abstract | Conversion of MARIA reactor core from HEU to LEU fuel has imposed on performance a number of serious challenges. The list of those works enclosed a number of consecutive projects to be developed (project of INVAP, 2 projects of CERCA – AREVA), execution of calculations and safety analyses which exhibited among others, the necessity for reactor pumping system upgrading, carrying out the test irradiation of new fuel and conducting post-irradiation examination of this fuel. The positive results of test fuel elements made possible to start full core conversion with LEU fuel. |
