Rosatom starts pilot operation of a fuel fabrication facility for the BREST-OD-300 fast reactor
The unit for fabrication/refabrication pf nuclear fuel for the innovative BREST-OD-300 fast neutron reactor was put into pilot operation in Seversk, Tomsk Region, West Siberia.
It is the first of the three facilities of the unique Generation IV Pilot Demonstration Energy Complex (PDEC), which is under construction as part of the strategic project Proryv (of the Breakthrough) on site of the Siberian Chemical Combine (an enterprise of Rosatom Fuel Division).
The cutting-edge fully automated facility has already successfully manufactured the first mockup fuel bundles of the BREST-OD-300 core design with depleted uranium nitride fuel pellets. All production sites of the new facility have undergone comprehensive testing.
