ABSTRACT:
A core of a light-water reactor comprises a plurality of fuel assemblies each including a number of fuel rods. The fuel rod is provided with at least one area interposed between fuel areas in a clad of the fuel rod. The interposed area contains extremely reduced or substantially no fissile nuclide. At least two areas or layers with high enrichment of the fissile nuclide are formed in the axial direction of the reactor by the location of the interposed areas throughout the whole fuel assemblies arranged in the light-water reactor core.
