Rosatom’s new ‘roadmap’ slashes number of new reactors, but leaves loose ends on shut downs
Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom announced at a major international conference that it would be slashing its ambitious plans to construct nearly three dozen nuclear reactors by 2020 in half, cutting the number to a more humble 12.
The AtomEco conference
late last month highlighted a number of issues facing the Russian
nuclear industry, from nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel handling,
which was discussed at length by Bellona’s Alexander Nikitin, to citing
permanent repositories for spent nuclear fuel.
Nikitin said the AtomEco conference was a sign that relations between
Rosatom and environmental organizations were undergoing a change for
the better, thanks to management system “that is enacting a policy of
contact with the public on many levels.”
“Now, we have a rather advanced dialogue with Rosatom structures,” Nikitin said.
Drastic reduction in planned nuclear power plants
Among the more surprising developments was Rosatom head Sergei
Kiriyeko’s announcement to the some 1,000 participants gathered from 18
different nations at the international conference that the state nuclear
corporation would be abandoning its zealous 2008 “roadmap” to construct
some 35 new nuclear power reactors.
Instead, Kiriyenko told the delegates that a new roadmap had been
developed for 2013 to 2024 that involved building only 18 new nuclear
reactors, none of them floating.
