The Federal Environment, Technology and Nuclear Inspection Service of the Russian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (Rostekhnadzor) has granted Rusatom Overseas A.Ş a license allowing the company to build nuclear facilities at nuclear power plants. This license was obtained within the scope of the project for the construction of an on-board small modular reactor plant (SMR NPP) with RITM-200N reactor to be implemented in Yakutia (Russia).

Rusatom Overseas A.Ş Vice President Oleg Sirazetdinov said in a statement on the subject, “We have reached another milestone in our work by obtaining the Rostekhnadzor license for our SMR project in Yakutia.

The Russian-made niobium-tin superconductors produced under the Conductor Development Program for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) project of the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) have successfully passed the acceptance test.

While the design and production technology of superconducting wires was developed at the Bochvar Institute in Moscow, the 50 km long wires produced for qualification purposes were manufactured at the Chepetsky Mechanical Factory in Glazov city of the Udmurt Republic, Russia.

Modern living standards — indoor lighting, affordable food, heat in the winter, an internet connection — require energy. And every energy source has its drawbacks. It’s easy to point out the downsides of a given energy source and call for it to be banned. But if we’re not careful about weighing costs against benefits, we’re liable to end up with something even worse.

This is becoming painfully evident in the case of Japan. In 2011, a nuclear power plant in northeast Japan’s Fukushima prefecture was damaged by a huge tsunami and had multiple meltdowns.
