An automated system for control of VVER-1000 reactor fuel properties considering fuel element cladding damage parameter, fuel burnup and axial offset has been proposed. Using the synergic method for control of nuclear fuel properties (CET-method) optimization of reactor loading and fuel assembly rearrangement regimes, based on an objective function including fuel element cladding damage parameter, fuel burnup and axial offset, has been grounded. The composition and structure of an automated system for control of VVER-1000 reactor fuel properties ensuring the fuel operation safety-efficiency balance have been proposed.
