The technical design of the reactor of the future will modify for 2 years

According to the enterprises of the state Corporation "Rosatom", JSC "OKBM Afrikantov" (Nizhny Novgorod) technical project for the reactor plant bn-1200 power unit will be completed in 2015-2016. Bn-1200 is the reactor with capacity of 1220 MW fast reactor with liquid metal coolant, sodium. It is to be used in the nuclear industry of the future.
Power units with fast neutron reactors due to the organization of a closed nuclear fuel cycle capable to minimize radioactive waste and substantially expand the fuel base of nuclear energy. Technology "fast" reactors owned by a very few countries, in this direction is the world leader.
"Afrikantov OKBM" in conjunction with the main executors of the composition of Rosatom's enterprises, including JSC OKB "Gidropress", physics and energy Institute named after Leypunsky VNIINM behalf of bochara and "Atomproekt" has developed the technical design of the reactor plant bn-1200, as well as turbine installations. Already developed materials of the project unit, which has conducted techno-economic assessment and established the basic circuit-technology solutions, communication systems and buildings.
The next stage — technical examination of the project documentation and consideration of the bn-1200 project for the joint scientific and technical Council of state Corporation JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom" and "Rosatom". The results of the examination will take into account in the finalization of the technical project of bn-1200 in 2015-2016 after all complex development and scientific research. published
