The first module Russia's Breakthrough (Proryv) project under development at the Siberian Chemical Combine (SCC) in Seversk will be completed in 2017. Russia has moved from the design phase of the Pilot Demonstration Power Complex (PDPC) with the fast neutron reactor BREST-OD-300 and on-site closed nuclear fuel cycle. The Breakthrough project will include facilities for fuel fabrication and fuel recycling, as well as the BREST-300 lead-cooled fast neutron reactor. Vyacheslav Pershukov, state nuclear corporation Rosatom's head of design and innovation, said that long-lead items had been ordered from SverdNIIkhimmash for fuel module fabrication and re-fabrication. Installation of the equipment of the fuel fabrication module will start in the autumn. Construction of the facility began in August 2014. Contracts to supply equipment for the reactor facility are at the tendering stage, Pershukov added.

Two key post-Fukushima improvements to Slovenia's Krsko nuclear power plant have now been installed, a system to reduce explosive concentrations of hydrogen (passive autocatalytic recombiner, PAR), and a system to filter radiological gases in the event of a Fukushima-type reactor containment overpressurization. Both were part of a suite of measures mandated by the Slovenian nuclear regulator.
