The first thermonuclear plasma has been achieved at the T-15MD tokamak, at Russia’s Kurchatov Institute and the facility is operating steadily, according to Kurchative Institute President Mikhail Kovalchuk. The physical launch of the T-15MD tokamak took place in May 2021. "The stable plasma, at millions of degrees Celsius, has been obtained.… This most complicated and expensive installation started up immediately and is now working, gaining power and reaching global parameters,” he said.

The GI Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (INP SB RAS) has succeeded in increasing the plasma density by 1.5 times in its SMOLA fusion facility. It also slowed down plasma outflow by 10 times. Research in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion is being carried out using experimental facilities based on various magnetic confinement systems. They all have the same goal - to achieve the temperature, density and plasma confinement time necessary for thermonuclear fusion.

The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland has completed acceptance testing of Russian-made niobium-tin superconductors manufactured under the framework of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) CERN Conductor Development Programme, Rosatom’s Fuel Company TVEL said on 16 June. The design of the superconducting strands and the technology for their manufacture were developed at the AA Bochvar Institute of Inorganic Materials (VNIINM) in Moscow, while the 50km long qualification batch of strands was manufactured at the Chepetsky Mechanical Plant (CMP) in Glazov, Udmurt Republic (both part of TVEL). The work was completed as part of the agreement between TVEL and CERN, and was based on successful test results.

Russia’s Rusatom Automated Control Systems (RACS) and the Siberian Chemical Combine (SCC) have signed a contract for automation of the fabrication/re-fabrication module (FRM) for dense mixed uranium-plutonium nitride fuel. FRM is part of the Pilot Demonstration Power Complex (PDPC) with a fast neutron BREST-OD-300 reactor and on-site nuclear fuel cycle facilities, which is being built at the SCC site as part of the Proryv (Breakthrough) project. FRM has been under construction since August 2014 and the work to design, manufacture and deliver its automatic monitoring and control system (AMCS) is to be completed by July 2017,” according to a 29 August RACS statement. The AMCS includes automated systems for radiation monitoring, emergency alarms, systems for radioactive waste management, formulation of nuclear fuel and control of production technology and engineering utilities.

Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom plans by 2025 to develop efficient decommissioning technologies for nuclear facilities as part of its Innovative Development and Technological Modernisation Programme up to 2030. By 2025 it plans “to develop efficient technologies for dismantling and decontamination of nuclear power units, including steam generators of VVER reactors. This will involve decommissioning with subsequent disposal of reactor vessels and internals. The programme also designs robotics for dismantling and decontamination of VVER and RBMK reactors. In addition, technology of conditioning of ion exchange resins for VVERs and RBMKs will be developed.
