Abstract
The square lattice proved better performance according to our evaluation, it is possible to obtain very similar or smaller pressure drop than default - solid fuel - design. Hence, use of the same or even smaller coolant pumps is possible in case of annular fuel elements. Moreover, the innovative fuel also allows to overpower reactor up to 110% of nominal power, while securing all safety limits. Therefore, it is promising concept and further investigation would be interesting.
