License Granted For BREST Lead-Cooled Reactor Build
Russian’s nuclear supervisor Rostechnadzor announced that its chairman, Alexey Aleshin, on February 10, signed a license for Siberian Chemical Combine to construct the world’s first experimental demonstration power plant with a lead-cooled fast neutron reactor.
The approval came after extensive delays. The license was first expected in December of 2019. It was postponed for June 2020, but that date also came and passed by with no license issued.
The BREST-OD-300 project is considered a key element of the pilot demonstration power complex that will also include a fabrication/refabrication processing facility for mixed nitride uranium/plutonium nuclear fuel. This will create a complex that not only produces electricity, but also creates new fuel from partially spent fuel removed from the reactor core.

Construction License for 1st Gen Russian Fast Reactor
The state legislature of Montana, in the Senate Energy and Telecommunications Committee, this week passed Senate Joint Resolution 3 by Sen. Terry Gauthier, R-Helena, that would have a legislative interim committee study the possibility of small nuclear reactors. The study needs to be completed by September 2022. At the core of the proposal is a plan to replace aging coal fired power plants with small modular reactors (SMRs).
A licence has been issued by the Russian nuclear regulator Rostechnadzor to the Siberian Chemical Combine for the construction of the BREST-OD-300 reactor at its site in Seversk, Russia. It will be the world's first experimental demonstration power unit featuring a lead-cooled fast neutron reactor.
