ABSTRACT:
Nuclear fuels in the form of rod bundle with one or several beryllium rods inserted therein are proposed for use in power reactors positioned to obtain reactivity increase in order to save the D.sub.2 O inventory in a heavy water reactor or to relax the requirement of uranium enrichment if used in light water reactors.
