en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 12, Framatome signed a technical cooperation agreement with the Czech Řež Research Centre (CVR) to develop methodologies that facilitate the operation of the Czech LVR-15 research reactor using different fuel types. The signing ceremony was held in the presence of the French Ambassador to the Czech Republic.

The agreement establishes a cooperation framework for both parties in operating and managing different types of research reactor fuel, aiming to enhance the safety, efficiency, and performance of the LVR-15 reactor. Under the agreement, a joint working group will be formed to develop neutronics calculation models based on the operational experience of the LVR-15 research reactor, and to jointly identify the engineering methods and analytical approaches required for mixed core analysis and future optimization solutions.

Mario Leberig, Vice President of Fuel Design and Engineering at Framatome's Fuel Business Unit, stated that by combining the company's global expertise in nuclear engineering and fuel with CVR's unique experimental facilities, both parties can jointly develop innovative fuel engineering support, benefiting nuclear energy research and development in the Czech Republic and across Europe.

Petr Březina, CEO of CVR, stated that the agreement marks an important step in the mission to contribute to the safe operation of the LVR-15 reactor. By cooperating with Framatome, research capabilities can be further strengthened, contributing to nuclear science, technology, and education in the Czech Republic and Europe.

CVR is a Czech research institution with extensive experience in nuclear research, development, and testing, operating the LVR-15 research reactor and other facilities. Framatome and CVR began their cooperation on LVR-15 fuel development more than a decade ago.
