TOMSK, Jan 14 – RIA Tomsk, Aleksandra
Astafyeva. Rosatom
doesn't plan to stop a construction of the BREST-300 reactor, which is
performed within the project "Proryv", and optimizes it, a representative
of the department of communications of Rosatom State Corporation reported to
RIA Tomsk on Saturday.
A number of media wrote earlier that Rosatom
allegedly suggested to refuse construction plans of the BREST-300 reactor
temporarily within the project "Proryv" because of an economic
situation in the Russian Federation. Rosatom specified that the state
corporation initiated adjustment of the project. It will allow to reduce
capital costs of the federal target program (FTP) "Nuclear power technologies
of new generation for 2010-2015 and for the future till 2020".
"Updating of the FTP doesn't mean refusal
of implementation of the project "Proryv". Now the construction of
the pilot and demonstration power complex (PDPC) is well under way, the fabrication
refabrication module (FRM) is built. We don't stop construction of the BREST
reactor, but we optimize, synchronizing with terms of construction of other
objects", – the interlocutor of the agency reported.

The state corporation notes that the first stage
of the optimization has been carried already out – thanks to it, it was
succeeded to reduce the cost of the BREST project by 5 billion rubles. It is
specified that the project "Proryv", within which there is a reactor
construction, is innovative and difficult from the scientific point of view.
"We continue to develop fuel for BREST, we
realize the program of Research and Development, we solve a number of
scientific and technical problems, including within completion of bench testing
of steam generators, turbines and cases of the reactor, which are
non-standard", – the representative of the department explained.
Rosatom realizes the project "Proryv"
on creation of the latest fuel at which the nuclear power will work after 2020,
in SCP since 2011. The reactor BREST-OD-300 installation (BREST-300) with a
station nuclear fuel cycle, and also production uranium - plutonium (nitride)
fuel for reactors on the fast neutrons will be constructed in Seversk (the
closed satellite town of Tomsk) as a part of PDPC.
