The primary advantages of novel fuel are high uranium content (more than 15 50% in comparison with the standard UO2 pelletized fuel rod), low temperature of fuel (<500 °C, cold fuel), the extension of burn-up (100 MW d/kgU) and serviceability under transient conditions.
In a report in November, the organization's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said that distribution of fuel, cold-weather clothing, blankets and tarpaulins would begin Dec. 9 and continue through January, although the agency warned that firewood supplies for February had not yet been financed by donor countries.

Beef tallow methyl ester (BTME) caused the least SME the most particle emissions of the biodiesel fuels under cold start conditions.
