Moscow - (Saba):
Alexei Likhachev, CEO of the Russian state-owned nuclear corporation Rosatom, announced on Tuesday that the company plans to launch a unique, new, fourth-generation fast-neutron reactor in 2030.
Likhachev said, according to Sputnik, "A unique project is the construction of a fourth-generation nuclear power plant in Seversk (Tomsk Oblast)... In 2030, we will launch a 300-megawatt fast nuclear reactor, the world's first fourth-generation power plant."
Earlier, Likhachev said that Rosatom maintains Russia's "nuclear shield" at an appropriate level so that no one would consider using weapons against Russia.
Likhachev indicated that the company is ready to cooperate with the United States on uranium supplies unless a different decision is made.
"We will be present on the European market in one way or another, and we will cooperate with the United States in uranium supplies unless another decision is made," Likhachev said.
