Development of the scientific-technological bases of fast power reactors

Fast reactors in the energy security for the stable development of Russia

“…Two basic systems shortcomings prevent doing so: low utilization efficiency of the natural raw material and the enormous amounts of wastes produced per unit of useful production. The search for ways to overcome these obstacles relies on the ideas of expanded production of fuel and the physical principle of fast power reactors, ideas which were independently formulated by the eminent physicists E. Fermi in the USA and A. I. Leipunskii in the USSR back in the 1940s [1].In our country, the scientific, design, and technological work performed to realize these ideas has been ongoing for more than half a century [2][3][4]. The research is aimed at developing nuclear technologies which are capable of full utiliza-* A technological platform is a genetically (with respect to origin) and functionally related collection of technologies which possess systems properties.…”
