According to him, at the meeting they agreed with Rosatom to synchronize the decommissioning of obsolete equipment at the Siberian chemical plant facilities with the implementation of the "Breakthrough" project schedule.

Rosatom implements the "Breakthrough" project at the Siberian chemical plant, which provides for the creation of a new technological platform of the nuclear industry with a closed nuclear fuel cycle and is aimed at solving the problems of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. One of the project’s directions is the construction of a pilot demonstration energy sector as part of the reactor facility "BREST-OD-300" with near-station nuclear fuel cycle and a complex for the production of mixed uranium-plutonium (nitride) fuel for fast neutron reactors.
