Rosatom manufactures first nuclear fuel for a research reactor in Bolivia
Nuclear fuel for the initial loading of the BRR-1 research reactor, a facility under construction in Bolivia, has been manufactured and passed the acceptance tests at the Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant, an enterprise of Rosatom nuclear fuel division.
The shipment of the fuel bundles to Bolivia is scheduled for 2025.
The first research reactor in Bolivia should become the key facility of the fourth phase of the national Center for nuclear research and technologies in El Alto. The project is under implementation by the Bolivian Atomic Energy Agency in cooperation with Rosatom.
The reactor vessel was delivered from Russia and installed in 2023. It is a pool-type research reactor...

The CARR reactor is open to foreign customers
The Chinese corporation CNNC has opened the CARR research reactor for projects of foreign companies and specialists.
To date, CARR has received more than 40 applications from abroad. The experiments that the applicants would like to put on are related to the needs of the aerospace and oil industries and to the study of new materials and a number of other areas.
Chinese research institutes and universities are already experimenting on CARR. In total, about 50 Chinese enterprises and organizations received access to the reactor capabilities.
The name CARR stands for China Advanced Research Reactor. The decision to build CARR was made in 1997...

ROSATOM installs vessel of MBIR research reactor in design position
Installing the reactor vessel in its design position is a significant achievement of the work of a large team of like-minded scientists, engineers, designers, and builders. This is an important milestone in the MBIR reactor construction project, bringing us closer to installing reactor equipment and reaching the end of construction, which is already ahead of schedule. This means that we will get an advanced research infrastructure in a shorter amount of time, which will advance the study of two-component nuclear power engineering technology and our efforts to close the fuel cycle; it will help accelerate and justify the creation of safe fourth-generation nuclear power plants, and foster breakthrough research over the next 50 years. MBIR research reactor and PIK reactor are complementary...
