The future of the Russian nuclear industry is expected to be a closed fuel cycle, powered by a combination of light water reactors and next generation reactors. The critical element in the Russian strategy is the Generation IV reactor fleet, including sodium-, lead-, and lead–bismuth-cooled reactors. Since the 1950's, the USSR, and later, Russia, extensively worked with on all of these technologies through experimental and demonstration reactors. Currently, there are several commercial Generation IV reactors that are in the last stages of design or currently under construction in Russia, including the BN-800/1200, BREST-OD-300/1200, and SVBR-100. These GEN-IV reactors will allow Russia to meet its strategic objectives of inherent reactor safety and accident prevention, waste disposal, and nonproliferation. |
