Abstract

The article considers some opportunities of perspective nuclear power development which being guarantee of branch competitiveness in the internal and external markets, make essential impact on formation of national economy safety potential. In the conditions of an unstable environment of the raw markets the nuclear power strengthens the priority in system of instruments of increase of an economical and political statehood in the world community. Accumulation of construction speed of nuclear power plants around the world actualizes problems of search of nuclear fuel rational use ways. At the same time reduction of highly profitable fields of uranium and a suspension of development of uranium mining assets by leading enterprises is observed now. Besides, there is a problem of ensuring safe storage of spent fuel. As one of the most perspective modern innovative projects of the development of nuclear power directed to the specified problems solution, authors of article consider creation and operation of multi-purpose research nuclear installation on fast neutrons (MBIR) in the long term. The work represents advantages of this project intended for carrying out a wide range of the researches directed to scientific and experimental search of opportunities and results of use of perspective types of fuel, closed nuclear cycle strategy, researches with use of radioactive radiation, etc. It is proved that use of opportunities of MBIR Reactor will allow to solve problems of resource provision, economic security, competitiveness increase of not only branch productions, but also national research platforms. The research, technological and economic advantages of this installation allowing to create the safe highly effective research reactor that will significantly increase the level of knowledge intensity of nuclear branch production are opened and systematized and will provide economic efficiency of the project.
