MULTI-PURPOSE APPLICATION
FLEXIBLE CAPACITY FOR LOCAL AND
REMOTE AREAS: GRADUAL BUILD-UP
Construction of
small and medium
dual application
complexes (power
and heat) in local
and remote areas
with poor energy
infrastructure
MULTIPURPOSE INDUSTRIAL
APPLICATION
Example of possible allocation
Industry
Oil and gas and chemical complex
(Primorsky kray.)
Oil & Gas
Zheleznorudniy Ore Mining and Processing
Industrial Complex (Buryatiya)
Metal industry
“Peschanka” gold field development
(Chukotsky region)
Mining
Steam: 580 tons/hour, saturated steam, p=6.7Mpa, T~282.9°C
DESALINATION
Distillated water: 200 000 – 350 000
m3/day
Coastal desalination
nuclear power
complex comprising
two types of onshore
desalination plants
(multi-layered
distillation and
reverse osmosis).
RENOVATION
Renovation allows to
minimize capital
costs per unit two fold
as compared with the
construction of new
capacities.
*) The results of the complex study of technical feasibility and economic
viability of the renovation of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th units of SVBR-100 based
Novovoronezhskaya NPP

FOUR SVBR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
1
ADVANCED
SAFETY
3
Combination of active and passive
safety systems
Chemically inert both to water and air
lead-bismuth coolant
Integral reactor layout
Near-atmospheric pressure inside
primary circuit
Accident even with a loss of
containment could not lead to
radioactive emissions into the
atmosphere
2
BROAD
APPLICATION
Electricity supply
Heat supply
Desalinated water
Steam supply for industrial needs
SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
Can operate in closed nuclear fuel
cycle mode reducing consumption of
uranium ore and nuclear waste
output.
4
FLEXIBLE
APPROACH
Small dimensions - transportable by
rail way, road or waterway
Modular design 100MWe *n – NPPs
customized to local needs
Possibility of deployment near
residential area (less than 1 km)
Fewer requirements to local energy
infrastructure
