Experience of Using Traditional and New Technological Solutions in Nuclear Power Engineering Paper Discussion

Abstract

A wide range of issues related to the safety of nuclear energy was raised in the speeches of the participants in the RAS Presidium meeting on February 25, 2020. This is one of the main problems of the industry—the disposal of radioactive waste and the optimization of this process, promising technologies related to the closed fuel cycle, the development of atomic hydrogen energy, the radiological protection of the population and personnel of nuclear facilities, and the cooperation of industry and academic institutes on this topic. The general conclusion is that the nuclear industry has created a solid scientific and personnel groundwork that fundamentally solves the problem of radioactive waste disposal and ensures long-term world leadership of the Russian Federation in the field of nuclear energy.
