Georgy Tikhomirov: closed nuclear fuel cycle opens up access to 99% percent of uranium’s energy
In 2021, in the Tomsk Region, located in Eastern Siberia, State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom began construction of the BREST-OD-300 lead-cooled reactor. Why can this project demonstrate the benefits of a closed nuclear fuel cycle? When will this technology be commercialised? And what is the future of thorium reactors? Georgy Tikhomirov, Deputy Director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Technology of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, one of the authors of the report “10 Breakthrough Ideas in Energy for the Next 10 Years”, answered these questions in an interview for the Global Energy Association.

Atom at its best
The Rosatom plans to launch a preclinical cyclotron-radiopharmacological complex and a multi-purpose irradiation centre in Bolivia in the near future, which are under implementation as part of a large-scale project of creation of the Centre for Nuclear Research and Technology. In addition to the radiopharmaceutical production facility and a multipurpose irradiation center, the Centre for Nuclear Research includes a reactor facility and a laboratory of radiobiology and radioecology, which are expected to be launched in 2024.
