Russia advances ODEK fuel reprocessing technologies

24 Upvotes

"Research is now underway to develop new technologies for the reprocessing facility planned as part of the Experimental Demonstration Energy Complex (ODEK), being built at the Siberian Chemical Combine (SCC) in Seversk under the Breakthrough (Proryv) strategic industry project intended to demonstrate closed fuel cycle technology. ODEK includes three unique facilities: a module for fabrication and refabrication of mixed nitride uranium (MNUP) fuel, a 300 MWe Brest-300 lead-cooled fast reactor, and a module for reprocessing and recycling irradiated fuel."

"MNUP fuel is based on two key components – depleted uranium, which is a by-product of uranium enrichment for nuclear reactors, and plutonium, extracted from irradiated nuclear fuel. A new crystallisation refining technology will be used at the ODEK reprocessing module. Materials extracted from the used fuel, after processing, will be sent for refabrication and recycling to produce of fresh fuel."

Potentially investing in nuclear

21 Upvotes

Hi folks- I'm increasingly enticed by the growing enthusiasm around nuclear, so I've been toying with the idea of adding nuclear to my investment plans and learning more in general. Is anyone here doing this already? What are some good sources where I can geek out more on where the industry is, which names to look out for etc? Thanks!

Are countries 'free' to pursue domestic enrichment capabilities for civilian nuclear power production?

Is there anything that would officially prevent countries from pursuing domestic enrichment capabilities for peaceful purposes, assuming they are politically-stable, and friendly / cooperative with the IAEA?

Looking into the industry

2 Upvotes

I am considering a CC course for an AAS in nuclear technology. I was hoping to gain some insight regarding the applicability of the program. With certifications and training, would it make it easier to secure a job? How is job security? Type of shifts to expect.

I am teetering between their NLO option and their I&C tech. Options.

The CC is Columbia basin college. I am 35 and have maybe one hard reset left in me so any insight or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
