Russian media attention: India has come up with an Indian-style small reactor!

A Russian netizen named Alexey b said: Inside the reactor, Hindus sing and dance, generating energy.

On April 11, the article was published in Komsomolskaya Pravda.

India recently introduced the BSMR-200 small modular reactor (MMR).

This is not just a simplified version of an ordinary nuclear power plant, but an intelligent solution suitable for India. Previously, they only talked about it as a reactor, but now they emphasize that it is modular.

Russian experts say that India's BSMR-200 is very cool!

Imagine a reactor that can be quickly built and easily adapted to different tasks. They are smaller, cheaper, and even safer than large nuclear power plants. The BSMR-200 is such a reactor, but with an Indian twist.

The BSMR-200 will use low-concentration uranium, but the exact concentration remains confidential. What's important is that this is more affordable fuel.

At the same time, it will also be safer.

Russian media pointed out that Indians proposed three main tasks:

Energy-intensive production will be able to receive energy directly from the BSMR-200.

Revitalizing old power plants instead of abandoning old thermal power plants, BSMB-200 can be built, which is profitable and environmentally friendly!

Providing lighting to remote villages: India has many remote areas, and the BSMR-200 is their ideal solution.

It is said that the first BSMR-200 will be built under the jurisdiction of India's nuclear department. Then, they will start providing them to factories, production is already underway, and they promise to build a reactor in 5 - 6 years.

India plans to allocate $2.5 billion for the development of small reactors. Part of this money will be used for the BSMR-200, as well as other projects, such as developing a reactor with only 55 megawatts, which will be launched in 2033.

Russian experts said: The BSMR-200 is an ambitious and very interesting project. It shows that India is not only striving for energy independence, but also seeking modern, environmentally friendly solutions.

If everything works out, it will be a big step forward for the entire country!
