Russia ready to cooperate with Japan on fast-neutron reactors - Rosatom

TOKYO, November 27. /TASS/. Rosatom is ready to develop cooperation with Japan on projects in the field of -neutron reactors, Rosatom Deputy CEO Kirill Komarov said Friday. In early November 2015, the first stage of the power start of the fast neutron reactor BN-800 was held at Beloyarsk NPP site in Russia. The object belongs to the closed-loop reactors, which will help minimizing radioactive waste and not expand the fuel base of the nuclear power industry. "There has been no substantive discussion on the issue yet. But we're ready for it, if Japanese companies are interested, of course we will [work together - TASS]," he said. Komarov noted that Russia has a lot of experience in this field. "We have finished the construction of BN-800 reactor. However, this is not our first "fast" reactor. For many years we have successfully used the BN-600 reactor. It gives us substantial knowledge about how to work with this "fast" technology," Komarov said. He added that by 2025 the corporation expects to implement the project on commercial fast-neutron reactors. "Russia has the biggest experience in the world with "fast" reactors and we are certainly ready for broad international cooperation," he concluded. Read more
