Russian regulator issues the license of operation of the fuel fabrication facility for BREST-OD-300 reactor
The Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision (Rostechnadzor) has issued a license to Siberian Chemical Combine (an enterprise of Rosatom Nuclear Fuel Division in Seversk, Tomsk Region) to operate a nuclear installation of the Unit for fabrication and refabrication of dense nuclear fuel.
The Fabrication/Refabrication Unit is facility of the Pilot Demonstration Energy Complex (PDEC), which is under construction in Seversk under the strategic Proryv (or the Breakthrough project). PDEC is a cluster of nuclear technologies of the future, it includes three unique interconnected facilities: a unit for the production (fabrication/refabrication) of mixed uranium-plutonium nitride nuclear fuel, a power plant with an innovative...

ROSATOM starts testing of unique equipment for BREST-OD-300 nitride fuel fabrication

Rosatom starts installation of the BREST-OD-300 4th generation reactor

441 nuclear units are operating in the world, 52 units are under construction

Rosatom starts construction of unique power unit with BREST-OD-300 fast neutron reactor
The construction of a 300 MW nuclear power unit with an innovative lead coolant BREST-OD-300 fast reactor has begun at the site of the Siberian Chemical Combine (an enterprise of Rosatom-subsidiary TVEL Fuel Company) in Seversk, Tomsk region (South-West Siberia). The reactor will run on mixed uranium-plutonium nitride fuel (MNUP fuel), specially developed for this facility (it is considered to be the optimal solution for fast reactors).
The power plant will make an integral part of the Pilot Demonstration Energy Complex (PDEC) - a cluster of three interconnected unique facilities, including the nuclear fuel production plant (for fabrication and refabrication), the BREST-OD-300 power unit, and the facility for irradiated fuel reprocessing.

Rosatom will manufacture unique equipment for the BREST-OD-300 power unit

Hero of the day

Forum ATOMEXPO-2024 became a record-breaking event in number of participating countries and signed agreements

The Forum, which became the 13th one, set a record in terms of the number of participants - about 4,500 from 75 countries (ten greater than in 2022). The event was honored by the presence of representatives of business, government agencies, and international organizations.

INTERVIEW

CNNC
Ma Wenjun also emphasized that CNNC has consistently upheld an open and collaborative approach, hoping to work together with international counterparts to accelerate the development of nuclear energy, contributing to addressing challenges such as climate change and nuclear safety.

OPINION

Han Yongjiang
To develop the new quality productive forces, it is necessary to carry out reforms to eliminate obstacles to development. In 2023, CNNC adjusted the ownership of some of its subsidiaries and formed a unified industrial platform, aiming to promote the development of the nuclear technology application industry.
