Russian nuclear equipment manufacturers have completed and shipped over 1,000 tonnes of specialised components for the Brest-OD-300, a next-generation fast neutron reactor under construction in Siberia.
Russian state-owned nuclear corporation Rosatom said the shipment marks a milestone in its ambitious Breakthrough project, part of a broader initiative to develop Generation IV nuclear power technology.
The components will support the 300-MW Brest-OD-300 demonstration unit, which is being built at the Siberian Chemical Combine in Seversk, south-central Russia.
