Famous traveler Fedor Konyukhov has returned to Murmansk after completing his one-man polar expedition with the nuclear icebreaker “50 Let Pobedy” (50th Anniversary of Victory). Konyukhov gathered information about the rate of ice melting, microplastic concentration and seismic activities of the Arctic Ocean floor during his trip within the framework of the “Clean Arctic” project.

For the first time in the history of Arctic exploration, a floating ice station was put into service in the summer.

The first concrete pouring on the foundation plate of the reactor building of the 5th unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in India was carried out with an official ceremony today. Thus, an important step was taken in the third phase of the power plant construction. The ceremony was held via videoconference due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Prior to pouring concrete, the concrete bed was prepared for the foundations of the reactor building’s auxiliary reactor building, where the Main Control Room is located, the turbine building, and the power supply building, which supplies energy for normal operation, emergency and safety control systems.

A hydrogen production and conversion facility will be operational by 2023 at the Kola Nuclear Power Plant in Russia. In the complex, which will include electrolysis facilities with a capacity of 1 MW, the capacity and production are expected to be increased to 10 MW later.

Kola NPP has been selected as a pilot region for hydrogen production in Russia, as it produces surplus low-cost energy and has adequate infrastructure. The plant also has enough hydrogen production experience to meet its own energy needs.

The association of companies, led by Rolls-Royce, announced that the first phase in the development of the compact nuclear power plant, also known as the Small Modular Reactor (SMR), was completed ahead of schedule and on a lower budget. It has been announced that with the updated design, the energy capacity of the reactors has increased.

Aiming that the SMR design will be evaluated by the relevant nuclear regulatory agency in the first quarter of 2021, the association of companies has thus remained loyal to its goal of completing the first power plant in the early 2030s and nearly 10 power plants by 2035.
