Resumen:
A new fuel element (called CARA ??Combustible Avanzado para Reactores Argentinos?, Spanish expression for ?Advanced Fuel for Argentine Reactors??) designed for two different heavy water reactors (HWR) is presented. CARA could match fuel requirements of both Argentine HWR reactors (one CANDU and two unique Siemens?s designs as Atucha I and II). It keeps the heavier fuel mass densityand hydraulic flow restriction in both reactors together with improving both thermo-mechanic and thermal-hydraulic, safety margins of present fuels. In addition, the CARA design could be considered as another design line for the next generation of CANDU fuels intended for higher burnup.
