Generation IV reactors are capable of fundamentally changing the nuclear power industry, primarily through a new level of safety, expansion of the fuel range and a significant reduction in radioactive waste. Russia is one of the leaders in the development of Generation IV technologies.
Beloyarsk NPP started pre-design work for the construction of a Generation IV generation power unit — BN-1200M. At the same time, for the first time in the world practice, an NPP with a Generation IV reactor BREST-OD-300 and an on-site closed nuclear fuel cycle are being built in the Tomsk region at the same site.
