The mechanical engineering division of Rosatom presented the technical designs of the RITM-200N reactor plant, the AS-14-15 core and its components to a joint meeting of the bureau of Rosatom’s Scientific & Technical Council. The experts approved the designs, noting noted that the projects met the requirements of the technical specifications. The RITM-200N reactor plant is to be the basis of a low-power land-based NPP to be built in the Yakut village of Ust-Kuiga. The pilot station will include one power unit.

Rosatom is expected to decide on the construction of a second low-power NPP (ASMM – Atomnoi Stantsii Maloi Moshnosti) with a RITM-200N reactor plant in Yakutia, Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev told the 8th Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. Rosatom is building a ASMM in the village of Ust-Kuiga in Yakutia with a RITM-200N reactor unit with a capacity of 55 MWe. It will provide electricity for the development of the Kyuchus gold deposit, the deposits of the Kular gold-bearing region, the Tirekhtyakh Stream tin deposit and the Deputatsky tin deposit deposits, as well as the development of other deposits of the mining cluster in Northern Yakutia.

Rosatom has selected the five most promising sites in Chukotka, Yakutia and the Krasnoyarsk Territory for the construction of low-power NPPs in the Arctic, according to Semyon Musher, Science Adviser at JSC Rusatom Overseas (part of Rosatom). Earlier in 2023, Rosatom received a licence to deploy Russia’s first ever low-power land-based NPP (LNPP) in the Ust-Yansky district of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Its commissioning is scheduled for 2028.

Russia’s Federal Service for Environmental Technological & Nuclear Supervision (Rostechnadzor) has issued a siting licence for the low-power NPP planned for Ust-Yansky ulusa of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The project of a low-power nuclear power plant is based on a water-cooled RITM-200N nuclear reactor, which is an innovative adaptation of low-power ship-based technology for ground deployment. Reactors of the RITM-200 series have been tested in the harsh Arctic conditions on the latest Russian icebreakers and meet all post-Fukushima safety requirements for modern NPP designs. The plant is characterised by compactness, modularity and reduced construction time.
