Rosatom said that he began the construction of the first plant for the production of fuel for fast neutron reactor with heavy liquid metal coolant "BREST-300"

the Russian state Corporation Rosatom said that the beginning of the construction of the first pilot plant for the production of fuel for fast neutron reactor with heavy liquid metal coolant "BREST-300", says NIA-Tomsk".



Deputy Director General of Rosatom Vyacheslav Pershukov reported that Russia started the construction in Tomsk plant for the reprocessing of spent fuel that will be produced nuclear "pill" needed for the new reactor.

the Uniqueness of the BREST-300" and the construction of the plant is to create a closed loop that allows non-waste production of nuclear energy. In the future Russia will have an opportunity to turn nuclear waste into fuel for new generation reactors.

According to representatives of "Rosatom", thanks to their development of the "peaceful atom" will be truly peaceful, as the BREST-300" it is impossible to obtain materials for the production of nuclear weapons and, therefore, these reactors can be exported around the world.



Energy note that in addition to the closed cycle of production of nuclear energy, "the BREST-300" and has unprecedented security system. Even a critical situation that led to the destruction of the reactor building and covers his body may not result in a radiological release, requiring evacuation of the population and the emergence of exclusion zones like Pripyat.

project to create a waste-free closed cycle technologies for the production of nuclear energy has received big name "Breakthrough" and involves running a processing plant fuel by 2017, and the start of operation of the reactor "BREST" in 2020. The specialists of the Corporation believe that in 2022 will launch the module for the processing of fuel for the formation of non-waste technology and closed loop. the
