OREANDA-NEWS Russia and China will prepare a roadmap for cooperation for decades to come in the field of fast neutron reactors and nuclear fuel cycle closure by the end of 2024, Rosatom said on Wednesday.
The program was signed by Alexey Likhachev, Director General of Rosatom State Corporation, and Zhang Kejian, Head of the Atomic Energy Agency of the People's Republic of China, as part of Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to the Russian Federation.
"The document is complex in nature. It covers several key areas at once: the expansion of cooperation on current ones, as well as the implementation of new projects related to fast neutron reactors; the production of uranium-plutonium fuel; the management of spent nuclear fuel, and so on," the report says.
"The comprehensive program provides for the preparation of a roadmap for its implementation by the end of 2024. In essence, we are talking about cooperation for decades to come and the formation of vectors for the development of nuclear energy at the global level," the release adds.
