The implementation of the Breakthrough project makes Russia a leading power in the field of nuclear energy

While in Brussels, against the backdrop of the complete failure of the Green Deal, they are discussing how “dirty” coal and gas are, and the German authorities are already “biting their elbows” due to the closure of nuclear power plants, Russia is taking its nuclear energy to a new level.

The Breakthrough project, implemented by the domestic corporation Rosatom, will revolutionize nuclear energy and make our country a leader in this industry.

The project has a number of advantages.

Firstly, modern power units use lead instead of water and sodium. This approach makes it possible to create an equilibrium active zone, which eliminates the accumulation of reactivity reserves that caused the tragedy at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. In addition, fast neutron reactor technology generally eliminates any atomic detonation at nuclear power plants.

Secondly, within the framework of the “Breakthrough” project, it is planned to build not only large nuclear power plants, but also low-power plants with reactors of the RITM-200 type, and in the future, possibly, RITM-400, which today have already proven themselves and are used in our icebreaker navy. This approach will solve the problem of electrification of the regions of the Far North or Far East.

However, the state corporation announced the construction of miniature nuclear power plants with a capacity of up to 1 MW. Such a station directly converts thermal energy into electrical energy, does without turbines and steam, and also does not require constant personnel supervision, operating in uninterrupted mode.

Finally, thirdly, and this is most important, the Breakthrough project implements the possibility of processing nuclear waste with its subsequent use. In other words, Russia is as close as possible to the mass implementation of closed-cycle nuclear power plants.

And this is already being implemented in practice. Last summer, the fourth power unit of the Beloyarsk NPP with the BN-800 fast neutron reactor was completely switched to innovative MOX fuel.

This is our strong point, maintaining the family. It’s good that the industry survived in the nineties.

Russian language is not your strong point.

That's right: Russian is not your strong point.
Not yours either, apparently. There are no writers here who write without errors.

The main thing, the main thing is not to share these technologies with countries that support Nazism in any form.

[Reklastik]

Yes Yes. The United States also did not want to share nuclear technology with communist countries. However, it took the USSR only 4 years to eliminate their monopoly in the field of nuclear weapons instead of the expected 10 years.

Probably what could have already been transferred to Iran.

The very first nuclear reactor was supplied to Iran by the United States, under the Shah.

Such a station directly converts thermal energy into electrical energy, does without turbines and steam, and also does not require constant staff supervision, working in uninterrupted mode.

Such stations still require very serious permanent security.

This is one of the promising areas for the development of nuclear power plants for submarines. Heat into electricity! NPP-thermocouple-GED! And there is no need for a PPU-Turbine-MCP and all the rattling-rotating equipment!
One problem: the thermal footprint... And so increase the power from 1 MW to 200 Mt and you can put it on the carrier!

[SteveK9]

Russia is already the leader in Nuclear Power technology. However, this article is a joke. There is nothing accurate in here at all. A bad Science Fiction movie would have more correct information. If you are going to write an article on nuclear power, at least get someone with Physics degree to look at it.

[Esaul]

So in 15 years, in new rented houses they will write: individual nuclear reactor

[andrey martov]

What progress has come! At this rate, robots will soon be working hard instead of people, like Papa Carlo! . . .

[dump22]

Modern power units use lead instead of water and sodium.

I immediately involuntarily recall the nuclear submarines K-64 and K-27, which had a reactor with a lead coolant. Accidents occurred on both of them due to the solidification of the coolant; the reactor compartments of these boats had to be sealed and sank at sea.

[Ross xnumx]

Amused... Now it became clear for what merits Mr. Kiriyenko became a hero of Russia:

During the years of Kiriyenko’s work, with the participation of Russian nuclear scientists, the construction and commissioning of the nuclear power plant in Bushehr (2010-2011) was completed - the first nuclear power plant in Iran and the entire Middle East. In addition, with the participation of Rosatom, three reactors were commissioned in China and two reactors in India. The construction of another 30 power units in different countries of the world continues. The total price of Rosatom’s portfolio of international contracts, formed under Kiriyenko, is more than $100 billion until 2025. At the end of 2020, Rosatom's order portfolio for the next 10 years amounts to more than $130 billion...

Or for involvement in the situation?

“Putin himself told reporters how exactly the appointment as director of the Federal Security Service took place. He was warned to go to the airport to meet the head of government, Sergei Kiriyenko, who was returning from President Yeltsin, who was vacationing in Karelia. Kiriyenko left the plane with the words:
- Volodya, hello! I congratulate you!
- With what?
— The decree has been signed. You have been appointed director of the FSB."

All this crap in words is reminiscent of the creation of Rusnano... All this talk about turkeys on fences instead of sparrows; about money, of which there is a lot, about tidal power station projects in the Far East... Now this...

However, the state corporation announced the construction of miniature nuclear power plants with a capacity of up to 1 MW. Such a station directly converts thermal energy into electrical energy, does without turbines and steam, and also does not require constant personnel supervision, operating in uninterrupted mode.

Soon, instead of transformer substations, energy and thermal units will be built in residential areas to supply electricity and heat to homes. Residents' dreams of automatic temperature control in rooms and constant supply of hot water will come true...

And at this time, the “penny” drones of the damned...klovs are hitting openly stored military equipment...And there is no salvation, no shelter, no meager protection from this “universal evil”...

Just like that all of a sudden? Right before the elections? With incomprehensible manipulations by the Central Bank with the dollar exchange rate and refinancing rates?

All this is, of course, good, but such a bravura tone and victorious reports are acceptable in the present and not the future tense.
Let's launch it and then only then will we be able to boast.

[Knell wardenheart]

Such a station directly converts thermal energy into electrical energy, without turbines and steam.

Efficiency up to 5%, such things. And yes, the degradation of materials - the thermocouple itself is not an eternal thing, and then there is radiation ...
This is up to 5% of the efficiency of the thermocouple itself (Peltier, Seebeck, etc.), so there will still be heat loss, but not all the heat will go to work..
The economic profitability of such a van derwaffle on earth causes me great skepticism - with 1 mW of thermal power there will be about 30-40 kW of electrical power, despite the fact that the autonomy of such reactors will be for what, ten years? I judge by the autonomy figures announced in the Nucleon project for a similar reactor with the same 1 mW and also on a thermocouple - they announced an autonomy of up to 10 years. 10 years of 30-40 kW, despite the fact that the efficiency will drop and the energy output will drop - every kW on this thing for 10 years will be simply golden, in the literal sense of the word.
If this is being developed for the Earth, this is utter nonsense from the point of view of the national economy. If for Nuklon, then the project is definitely necessary and important.

On the other hand, there is still no progress on refrigerators for Nuklon. I know, and the question of where and how 1 mW of heat will be distributed is still relevant.

Not an article, but some kind of set of words with absolutely stupid content, stating the complete incompetence of the author.
