The Russian nuclear industry is one of the most advanced in the world in terms of scientific and technical developments in the design of reactors, nuclear fuel, nuclear power plant (NPP) operational experience, and access to NPP personnel. The industry has accumulated vast experience in solving large-scale tasks such as the creation of the world’s first NPP (1954) and the development of fuel to use in it.
