The development of nuclear energy Russia to 2050 is examined in keeping with the recommendations of various strategic planning documents. The technological factors of making NPP more competitive by improving their technical and economic metrics are evaluated. The possibility and economic feasibility of increasing the NPP share in the production structure of the electric power industry up to 2050 is substantiated on the basis of model calculations. An assessment is made of the consequences of active development of NPP for the country’s economy.
