Opinion – A New Hope for the Versatile Test Reactor

Construction of Russia's MBIR multipurpose sodium-cooled fast neutron research reactor was 8% ahead of schedule at the end of 2021 and is now expected to be completed in 2027, one year earlier than previously planned.

Atommash performed a test assembly of elements for the multi-purpose sodium-cooled fast neutron research reactor being built in Dimitrovgrad. The six pieces of equipment involved in the test at the Volgodonsk branch of AEM technologies had a combined weight of 164 tonnes.

 Moscow, – The International Advisory Board to determine the research program for the world’s most powerful multi-purpose fast neutron research reactor (MBIR) under construction in Russia is planned to be established in 2022, as Konstantin Verga

A Call to Action – Save the Versatile Test Reactor

How Much Hydrogen is Needed at What Cost to Save the Planet? To replace 100 million barrels of oil per day equivalent requires an investment of USD17 trillion, spent over 30 years from 2020 to 2050 or at an average rate of USD567 billion annually. (For comparison purposes, the total US defense budget in 2018 was USD618 billion) It follows that saving the planet won’t be cheap, but spending the money is better as an alternative to not having a livable planet. The report notes that this level ...

24 February 2021 Share Unit 4 of the Beloyarsk nuclear power plant, Russias BN-800 reactor, has been connected to the grid and resumed operations upon completion of scheduled maintenance. For the first time the refuelling has been carried out with uranium-plutonium fuel only. The turbine hall of Beloyarsk 4 (Image: TVEL) Distinct from traditional nuclear fuel with enriched uranium, mixed oxide (MOX) fuel pellets are based on the mix of nuclear fuel cycle derivatives, such as oxide of plutonium ...

Beloyarsk Refueling Shows MOX Commitment Unit 4 of the Beloyarsk NPP with the BN-800 reactor has resumed operations after its recent refueling, which was the first time the reactor has been refueled with only assemblies loaded with MOX, uranium-plutonium fuel, making another substantial step towards operating the reactor with only MOX fuel. “The first batch of 18 MOX fuel assemblies was loaded into the reactor core in January 2020, and now 160 assemblies additional MOX fuel assemblies have be...
