The "Rosatom" State Corporation plans to complete the construction and prepare for commissioning a unique module for the creation of nuclear fuel (fabrication and refabrication module) in the city of Seversk (closed administrative-territorial entity, Tomsk Region) in 2024. The work is being carried out within the framework of the "Proryv" project.
The construction of an experimental demonstration power complex (ODEC) is underway at the site of the Siberian Chemical Combine. The module will operate on the basis of the future reactor BREST-OD-300 (fast neutron reactor with lead-bismuth coolant).
Plans for 2024: completion of construction and preparation for commissioning of the nuclear fuel fabrication/refabrication module at the ODEC site.
In 2023, specialists completed the concreting of the reactor shaft structures and the installation of the BREST support plate weighing 160 tons.
In the Tomsk Region, for the first time in world practice, a "fast" reactor and a closed nuclear fuel cycle technology will be introduced at one nuclear power plant site. Irradiated fuel, after processing, will be sent for refabrication. It is expected that the system will become independent of external supplies of resources for the nuclear reactor.
Earlier www1.ru reported that "Rosatom" is assembling the RITM-200N reactor.
