Russian and Chinese Delegations Collaborate on MBIR Reactor Experiments
A Russian delegation engaged with Chinese scientific institutions to explore collaboration on the MBIR reactor, emphasizing its capabilities for nuclear energy research. This partnership aims to advance next-generation nuclear technologies and materials testing.

A delegation from the Consortium Leader of MBIR Reactor International Research Center held discussions in China with prominent organizations including the China Nuclear Energy Association and the China Institute of Atomic Energy. The focus was on utilizing the Multipurpose Fast-Neutron Research Reactor MBIR for reactor tests and materials research, particularly for advanced reactor technologies and thermonuclear fusion.
The MBIR reactor, under construction in Dimitrovgrad with a thermal capacity of approximately 150 MW, is designed for a range of applications including radioisotope production and testing of new systems. The establishment of the International Research Center (IRC) facilitates international collaboration, allowing consortium members expedited access to reactor resources. The partnership signifies a strategic alignment between Russia and China in nuclear energy innovation.
