As previously stated by Vasily Konstantinov, Director of International Scientific and Technical Projects at Rosatom, the corporation expects Uzbekistan, China and Belarus to officially join the MBIR project as early as 2025. This will create a powerful international scientific alliance for advanced research in the field of nuclear technology.
The MBIR reactor, which is under construction in Dimitrovgrad, is a unique fourth-generation research facility. It will allow you to conduct experiments on:
· development of new types of nuclear fuel;
· creating materials for the reactors of the future;
· development of closed-loop fuel cycle technologies.
"Participation in the MBIR-based consortium opens up unprecedented opportunities for our scientists," said Ilham Sadikov, Director of the Institute of Nuclear Physics at the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan's joining the project:
· strengthens scientific and technical partnership with Russia;
· provides access to a unique research infrastructure;
· creates the basis for the training of highly qualified personnel.
According to Rosatom, MBIR will become a global platform for international research, contributing to the development of safe and efficient nuclear energy of the future.
