The unique Russian multipurpose fast research reactor (MBIR), being built in Dimitrovgrad, will become a platform for scientists from 15 countries, Rosatom reported.
The creation of an international research center is an important step in the development of fundamental science and applied research. The joint work of scientists from different countries will allow us to solve global scientific problems, develop new areas of research and create innovative technologies.
The MBIR is scheduled to be commissioned in 2028 and will become the most powerful research reactor in the world. The unique capabilities of this reactor are designed to develop nuclear energy technologies of the future. With its help, scientists will be able to accelerate and substantiate the creation of safe fourth-generation energy systems.
The reactor is designed for conducting reactor and post-reactor tests, as well as developing advanced technologies and materials in the field of nuclear energy.
Some MBIR characteristics:
- reactor type — fast neutron;
- thermal power — 150 megawatts;
- electrical power — 55 megawatts;
- fuel — mixed uranium-plutonium oxide.
