ABSTRACT:
A method of refueling a nuclear reactor having a core containing a plurality of fuel rod bundles which are built up from a plurality of fuel rods includes replacing at least one burnt up fuel rod bundle with a fuel rod bundle which is at least partly composed of fuel rods from other fuel rod bundles burnt up in the reactor, the mean content of fissile material in the fuel rod bundle thus composed being higher than the mean content of fissile material in the fuel rod bundle which is replaced by the composed fuel rod bundle.
