US intends to oust Russia and China from nuclear technology market

The United States intends to completely push Russia and China out of the nuclear technology market and become a world leader in this area. This is stated in the strategy adopted by the US Department of Energy.

According to the new strategy, the United States intends to enter markets dominated by Russian and Chinese companies, supplant them and take the place of the new leader in exporting "the world's best nuclear energy technologies." In particular, it is proposed to prevent the establishment of strong ties between Russia and China with a number of "Eastern European and African" countries. In addition, it is planned to give the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission new powers, which include the right to "refuse to import Russian and Chinese nuclear fuel." The reason for this failure will be "ensuring national security."



The ability of foreign nations to provide a nuclear fuel reprocessing cycle to establish dominant market positions and strong bilateral relations can pose serious geopolitical challenges for the United States

- the document says.

The first steps in implementing the new strategy are to significantly reduce the volume of Russian nuclear fuel allowed for import into the United States. We are talking about the restrictions that should be imposed against the Russian company Rosatom TVEL.

The paper is currently under consideration by Donald Trump.

      it’s unlikely to squeeze it out, but they can decoy it decently, it’s without a doubt, they have already demonstrated how they can stop our largest projects with sanctions - SP2 got up at the click of a finger and since then silence, only news - Academician Chersky sailed there, then sailed back

        Something like such a technological Cold War. ... So they will crush and reduce the exchange of technology with China. As for Russia, it is also an opponent of the United States.
        After the “Ukrainian crisis” it is obvious that Russian companies every day expect that they will be somehow limited.
        Until today, America has not imposed a ban on the import of Russian enriched uranium, nuclear fuel, although Russia is also trying to trade it in the US market. So far it has been economically unprofitable.

            Strategic projects must be fully secured by the internal forces of any normal state, claiming independence and self-sufficiency. Otherwise, such states can be destroyed by simply signing a document on the next sanctions.

          you probably already forgot that it was needed until the end of 2019 so that the outskirts would not be fed further, and all our officials would swear a hundred times what would happen, and what would be the result? as a result, we feed further, and even on such enslaving conditions that Gazprom incurs losses from pumping through the hydropower plants of the outskirts, in short, the Americans raped us here in full, they want to and they have them in nuclear energy, there is no doubt

            your bureaucrats always swear something, promise; and besides, their damn nose is poked anywhere; they have such a job, do it all.
            But businessmen have a different job, make a profit and complete this project; the longer the delay in putting the project into action, the less very respectable people smile; and they prefer to smile and consider gesheft and not suffer because of bureaucrats

            But you still go to Germany, and scold the Germans for their slow work.

        - Strengthening the uranium mining and processing industry and restoring the viability of the entire nuclear fuel cycle.
        -Using US technology innovation and investment to strengthen US leadership in next-generation nuclear technology.
        - Ensuring a healthy and growing nuclear energy sector where uranium mining companies, fuel cycle participants and reactor suppliers can offer their products and services.
        - A nationwide approach to support US nuclear power in the process of exporting peaceful atom technologies.

                          a couple of years ago, you kind of painted 3 trillics, in my opinion for Rosneft - but that's not for sure :)

                          Now about us, simple people. it’s always easy for ordinary people to live and live.
                          And the difference here is scanty, in the life of the lower and upper classes. If today, at the top there is grandeur and zhor, and below is a constant post, then this annoys the people. And most importantly - when there is nothing ahead, as now. Either we crawl into the abyss, or into the swamp, but wherever you throw, we’ll drive the wedge.
                          But when both the tops and the bottom live approximately the same, and even their goals coincide, then this people are quite happy. For some, of course. an exception.
                          Now about the changes - we do not choose this, there is nothing to be done. But to decide on the vector of changes - here we can and are even obliged, for the sake of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

            Westinghouse was sold to a US-Canadian investment fund 2 years ago. It is expensive and unprofitable to mine uranium in the USA; large reserves of uranium are Canada and Australia. Enrichment URENCO Anglo-Dutch company. Therefore, there will be an alliance in the nuclear field USA-UK-Canada-Australia
            In addition to Westinghouse, reactors are also being developed by other companies in the United States. Moreover, they plan to abandon high-power units and build new-generation low-power reactors, as a result, for example, each state can build the required number of power units and create its own independent energy system
            And with the US nuclear industry, everything is not so critical, new submarines and aircraft carriers are built on new reactors without the need for reloading

        In the USA there is no technology for enriching nuclear fuel using centrifuges from the word at all, others are too expensive.

        They have technologies differently how they generally created their nuclear industry. Another thing is that the technologies they use are less effective than those used by Rosatom (thanks to those metallurgical scientists in the USSR who created the needle-bearing). Therefore, even in the USA, TVELs were purchased from Russia due to the fact that they are simply much cheaper.

        That’s what NO ONE player (except Rosatom) is currently doing on the nuclear power plant market is the reverse collection of radioactive waste. At the moment, only Russia has the technology for processing waste from nuclear power plants. France also possesses these technologies but at the laboratory level.

        A great example is the termination of a contract with Rosatom for the construction of a nuclear power plant in Bulgaria. No other company was able to offer waste disposal, and the Bulgarians do not know what to do with them. They also do not have money for recycling in the budget.

        Russia has committed to supply low-enriched uranium (with U-20 isotope enrichment of less than 2013%, in fact in the range of 235 - 20%) obtained from 3,2 tons of highly enriched uranium within 4,9 years (until 500) uranium (with U-235 isotope enrichment of at least 90%), and the American side - accept, place on the market, pay for the separation work and the natural uranium component of LEU.

        After signing this agreement, cheap Russian uranium appeared in the USA. Which killed all plans for the modernization and expansion of the American enrichment industry (and they just wanted to switch to centrifuges). The market decided - why invest in your own, losing profits and time, if you can buy a cheap alien right now. And effective American managers in the pursuit of profit killed their own industry.
        What can I say ... The first dose is free. smile

      For the first time in their history, Russian nuclear scientists have used gas centrifuges to enrich the radioactive isotope nickel-63, which can be used to create so-called "nuclear batteries", the press service of TVEL Fuel Company (part of Rosatom) reported.

      "At the Electrochemical Plant in Zelenogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Territory (PA ECP JSC; part of TVEL), for the first time in the history of the nuclear industry, the gas centrifuge method of the radioactive isotope nickel-63 has been enriched to a level of more than 69%," the message says.

      The non-existent in nature radioisotope nickel-63 has the unique properties of soft beta radiation without dangerous gamma radiation.

      The nickel-63 isotope was originally produced by irradiating the stable nickel-62 isotope in the IVV-2M research reactor of the Institute of Reactor Materials JSC (part of the Rosatom scientific division). At the VG Khlopin Radium Institute, which is also part of the scientific division of Rosatom, the material obtained was purified and a working gas was created for a cascade of gas centrifuges at PA ECP JSC.

      What is nickel 63 for?

      A high level of enrichment in the nickel-63 isotope is necessary for the development of long-term energy sources, the production of which is planned to be organized by Rosatom at one of its enterprises, the report says. Compact "atomic batteries" with a service life of up to 50 years are in great demand in devices and systems where replacement of power sources is difficult, costly, or unsafe. Potential areas of application of such batteries are space technology, medicine, telecommunications equipment, products of the military-industrial complex, industrial and infrastructure facilities.
