Russia’s president Vladimir Putin has backed proposals by state nuclear corporation Rosatom to extend a programme for the development of new nuclear technologies and increase its budget to 553 billion rubles ($7.5bn).
Press reports in Russia said the nuclear development programme provides for the completion of two VVER-TOI power units at the Kursk 2 nuclear power station, completion of a pilot MBIR multipurpose fast neutron research reactor at Dimitrovgrad, and the development of small modular reactors, nuclear fusion and the closed nuclear fuel cycle.
