The world's first nuclear power plant with a spectrally regulated reactor will be built in Russia’s Murmansk region and will begin operation in 2035. Kola-II will be constructed a few kilometres from the existing plant near the town of Polyarnye Zori, according to the information and public relations department of the Kola NPP. The new station will host two VVER-600 reactors with spectral regulation. “There are no such technologies anywhere in the world so far to provide the industry with practically inexhaustible energy," the statement says. The reactors will be able to reuse nuclear fuel and, working in conjunction with fast neutron reactors, will make it possible to close the nuclear fuel cycle.
