Nuclear & Enviromental Safety, №1, 2011 (special edition)
The Russian Research Reactor Fuel Return programme (RRRFR) makes provisions for the removal of spent nuclear fuel from the Rossendorfer Forschungs-Reaktor (hereinafter referred to as the Rossendorf Research Reactor, RFR) in Rossendorf, Germany to Mayak for reprocessing.
