... substituted with standard nuclear fuel. Small Modular Reactors—the next-generation nuclear technology now being promoted across the Global South as a scalable clean energy solution—cannot operate without it. Without HALEU, SMRs remain a concept on paper. This ... ... is currently only one commercial producer of HALEU in the world: TENEX, the export arm of Russia's state nuclear corporation, Rosatom. Unlike fragmented Western nuclear companies, Rosatom operates as a full-spectrum integrator—mining, enrichment, reactor ...
... approach to powering data centers, become a solution to this trilemma? We discussed this with Alexander Volgin, Project Director at Rosatom Energy Projects JSC.
How viable from a technological and economic perspective are SMRs (in particular, KLT-40S and RITM-200) ... ... to 10 years in terms of commercial and logistical efficiency?
Vladimir Likhachev, Elizaveta Lihacheva:
Nuclear Power and the Global South
From a technological and economic perspective, SMRs are one of the most promising solutions for powering data centers....
... nuclear power sector in the region.
The development and introduction of new types of nuclear reactors, including floating NPPs and SMRs—projects that Russia is actively working on—represent promising technological solutions for countries of the Global South. This opens up extra opportunities for Rosatom, as the company can offer cutting-edge equipment to its partners in the foreseeable future and has leading expertise in producing more enriched fuel required for such plants. The shift of leadership in nuclear power development from the Global ...
