A new complex for nuclear doping of silicon has entered commercial operation at Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) based on TPU’s IRT-T research reactor. It is the only production facility for large-diameter irradiated silicon for electronics in Russia. It makes nuclear doping of silicon with an extremely large diameter of more than 200 mm. The launch ceremony was attended by representatives of Rosatom, fuel company TVEL and the Siberian Chemical combine (SCC).

Russia’s AA Bochvar Research Institute of Inorganic Materials (VNIINM – part of Rosatom’s Fuel Company TVEL) said on 29 April that, by the end of the year, it plans to complete the third cycle of irradiation of experimental accident tolerant fuel assemblies with VVER and PWR fuel elements comprising four different combinations of fuel and structural materials (zirconium alloy with chromium-containing coatings and chromium-nickel alloy 42??? as cladding materials, traditional uranium dioxide or alloy uranium-molybdenum as fuel). In addition, TVEL has ordered VNIINM to begin R&D work on the development of a technology for making tolerant fuel pellets from uranium disilicide (a compound of uranium and silicon - U3Si2). This aims to improve the safety of operation of domestically produced fuel, improve the technical and economic indicators of its operation, and also ensure the competitiveness of Rosatom in the world nuclear fuel market.
