The article deals with the initial requirements for metal fuel elements and commercial reactors using this type of elements: high smear density of fuel, high technological effectiveness of fuel, fuel column and fuel elements; interchangeability of metal fuel elements and oxide fuel elements; achievement of fuel breeding ratio of the core BRC ~1.0; prolongation of refuelling cycle up to Tc~11 months. The article presents content and results of examinations of radiation-thermal effects in U fuel column elements and UPu fuel column elements: irradiation of breeding and fuel elements in the BOR-60 and BN-350 reactors; research of macroeffects of radiation growth, radiation swelling, fuel-cladding chemical interaction. Applicability of the obtained results for developing advanced BN-reactors with heterogeneous cores of various types was discussed: with by FA heterogenization of the core (BFAH); intra FA heterogenization of the core (IFAH); intra fuel element heterogenization (IFEH).
