System study results are presented that demonstrate the feasibility of Russian nuclear power attaining 120 GW(e) level by the century end, taking into account decommissioning of older NPPs that complete their operation life, and assuming the new NPPs commissioning rate of 4-6 power units per 5 years until the year of 2050 and up to 10 units per 5 years in the second half of the century. The possibility of complete nuclear power transition through the stage of two-component structure towards the new technological platform with naturally safe fast neutron reactors domination has been confirmed. No limitations related either to the national uranium resources or to the enrichment capabilities have been revealed.
