Russia invites India to join fast-neutron reactor project


MUMBAI: Russia has invited India to join in developing next-generation nuclear reactors and to participate in its fast-reactor research project, an official of Rosatom, the country's state atomic energy corporation, has said.

The multipurpose fast research reactor project, known by the Russian acronym MBIR, is coming up as the International Research Center in Dimitrovgrad located in the Ulyanovsk region.

"The purpose of the programme is the creation of a new technological platform for nuclear energy, which will be based on the closed fuel cycle with fast neutron reactors," Rosatom project manager Alexander Zagornov, visiting India for the opening of the company's South Asia regional centre here, told IANS in an interview.

The closed fuel cycle, which involves recycling the nuclear waste as new fuel, in the case of the MBIR project, essentially signifies research on a sodium-cooled Generation 4 fast reactor to design an advanced fast neutron reactor for use in nuclear power plants.

A fast neutron reactor, also known simply as a fast reactor, is a type in which the nuclear fission chain reaction is sustained by fast neutrons. Such a reactor needs no neutron moderator like normal water, which serves such a purpose in thermal reactors.

"With fast-neutron reactors, it is possible to solve the major ecological problem of reprocessing and deactivation of the accumulated radioactive waste, at the same time providing society with much needed energy," Zagornov said.

"Transition to the closed fuel cycle, which is based on the fast neutron reactors, will lead to the solution of the five key problems -- safety, competitiveness, shortage of fuel, reprocessing and refabricating the used nuclear fuel and radioactive waste -- as well as in enforcing non-proliferation of fission materials and weapons technologies," he added.

Zagornov explained that the main purpose of the MBIR research reactor is to conduct a large number of reactor studies of "Generation 4 nuclear systems, including the fast neutron reactor with closed fuel cycle, as well as small and medium power thermal neutron reactors".

"MBIR's design includes three independent loops that can be used to test different coolants like gas, lead, molten salt, among others, and therefore it will be possible to conduct material testing research in those different environments."

"The trend of the fast research reactors development shows that by 2025 MBIR can be one-of-a-kind facility in the world," he said.

In this connection, Zagornov said that the unique research facility with the high neutron flux cannot be realized on the small scale or as a modular facility.

"Therefore, high cost is inevitable. This fact brings us to the idea promoted by IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) of regional 'collective use centers', in which one reactor can be used by multiple international users," he said.

"And we invite Indian partners to participate in such collective centre of excellence like the International Research Center," he added.

The Indian atomic energy programme is currently developing breeder reactors that will be fuelled by the country's vast thorium deposits.

The Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) is the latest Indian design for a next-generation nuclear reactor. In its final stages of development, the AHWR is being tested at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Mumbai as part of the third stage of India's nuclear energy programme, which envisages the use of thorium fuel cycles for generating commercial power.

India's thorium deposits, estimated at 360,000 tonnes, far outweigh its natural uranium deposits at 70,000 tonnes. The country's thorium reserves make up 25 percent of the global reserves.

Zagornov said the neutron flux directly influences the time needed to conduct irradiation experiments.

"The ability to conduct a 10-year research in three years is extremely important to the scientists around the globe and is one of the key advantages of the high flux reactors," he said.

Russia has offered India a new range of reactor units - the VVER-Toi (typical optimised, enhanced information) design - for the third and fourth units of the Kudankulam project in Tamil Nadu being built by Rosatom.

Il-114 is passenger aircraft only. Civil cargo mission will be taken by Il-112T civil version of Il-112V light military transport.
This pair is extremely lucrative solution since they are major unified by common engine, avionics and spares, can be maintained by the same teams in the same places using the same spares stores and both having significant TCO advantages over their rivals.
Yeah But you see India has already made choice by selecting and finalizing C-295. So agreeing to your logic, it makes sense for India to go for C-295 civi version

May be, I don't know.
However, C-295 is worth in flight package, service ability and price.
Maybe that's why your forms are interested in it? :)

Could be gadeshi. See why IL platform is doubtful because, you see all the Indian airlines have nada Russian crafts in their inventory. And it will be uphill task to sell IL aircraft to them. They generally love airbus, boeing, ATR, If IL aircraft deal goes through, will mostly end up being force fed in small numbers to Gvt owned airlines like Air India. And I doubt that number will justify ToT cost for IL aircraft.

Russia, India to Hold Joint Naval Exercises on December 12-21

NEW DELHI (Sputnik) — Joint Russian-Indian naval exercises, Indra Navy, will be held in December in the Bay of Bengal, a source in the Indian Navy headquarters said Tuesday.

On October 26, the final agreement on conducting the drills was reached at the meeting of the Russian-Indian intergovernmental commission on military and technical cooperation, chaired by the Russian defense minister and his Indian counterpart.

"Joint drills in the Bay of Bengal will be held on December 12-21. At least three ships from each side will be involved [in the training]. Interaction in addressing common challenges at sea will be exercised during the exercises," the source told journalists.

© Sputnik/ Vladimir Semenuk

On July 6, spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry’s Eastern Military District Alexander Gordeev said that the Russian side will involve a Project 1155 anti-submarine destroyer, a Project 956 fleet destroyer, an anti-submarine helicopter Ka-27, a tanker and a fleet tug. India will introduce a Kashin-class destroyer, a corvette, a tanker and a shipboard helicopter in the drills.

In September, joint Russia-Indian military drills, involving Russian fifth unit of the general troops and Indian unit of motorized infantry guards battalion, were conducted in Primorsky Krai, Russia. Joint aerial training Indra, involving Air Force and Air Defense Forces is planned to be held before the end of 2016.

Tata's airlines(Air Asia JV and Vistara) probably are going to stick with civi version of C 295(if it gets produced). Even before attending to question of domestic production of IL , lets see other domestic Indian airlines buy/evince interest in Russian aircrafts. Best of Luck to Russia!

Russia may help India to revolutionize its LNG transport system

India plans to double its LNG import capacity in one year to augment gas based transport systems. India will seek help from Russia and the US to make such ambitious plan possible.

India aspires increase its share of the energy market to 15 per cent from the current level of 6.5 per cent. In a bid to achieve this target, India intends to transform its diesel based transportation systems to a much cheaper liquefied natural gas (LNG) based transportation systems.


“Government wants to promote the LNG as a fuel for vehicles. Efforts are being made to have LNG driven buses in Kerala very soon. Long haul driven vehicles and trains will also adopt LNG as fuel. The LNG handling capacity is being enhanced from 21 Million Metric Tonn to 50 Million Metric Tonn,” said Dharmendra Pradhan, Indian Minister for Oil and Natural Gas.




Indian Railways is the world’s fourth largest railroad network and carries as many people as there are in Australia per day. Currently, Indian Railways is one of the biggest consumers of diesel in the country, consuming 2.8 billion liters per year. Government sources say that moving from diesel to LNG could save at least 40% in fuel costs per year. India’s Railway Ministry is seeking help from Russia and the US for procuring LNG turbine locomotives.


It is expected that there will be around 23 million buses and trucks available on the Indian roads by year 2025. Public transport bus services in many Indian cities use compressed natural gas which is costlier than LNG. The Indian government wants an increase in the use of LNG to reduce transportation costs and the country’s dependence on crude oil requirements. India consumes approximately 5 metric tons of diesel per month for transportation only.

India, Russia developing longer-range BrahMos missile: Government


BrahMos, jointly developed by India and Russia, is considered the only supersonic cruise missile in the world. The missile was first inducted in the India Navy in 2005.

The government on Friday informed the Lok Sabha that India and Russia are jointly developing a longer-range BrahMos supersonic cruise missile.

“Subsequent to India’s joining the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), Russia and India have agreed to extend the range of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile beyond 300 km,” Minister of State for Defence Subhash Bhamre said in a written reply.

“The proposal for undertaking joint technical development work for extending the range beyond 300 km has been executed between India and Russia,” he added.

BrahMos, jointly developed by India and Russia, is considered the only supersonic cruise missile in the world. The missile was first inducted in the India Navy in 2005.

Due to the missile technology restriction regime, both countries had to keep the range of the missile within 300 km.

India, on June 27, the became 35th full member of the MTCR -- an informal and voluntary partnership among 35 countries to prevent proliferation of missile and unmanned aerial vehicle technology capable of carrying over 500-kg payload over more than 300 km.

After becoming a full member of MTCR, India can import or co-develop missiles with ranges beyond 300 km.

Nuclear projects in third countries: Indian cog in Russia’s nuclear apparatus
Rosatom’s Mumbai centre to play a role in Russian efforts to increase its competitive edge in the nuclear plant construction market across geographies

A DAE official said the development is build on the Strategic Vision document signed by the govts of India and Russia in December 2014 for strengthening cooperation in atomic energy. (Illustration: Subrata Dhar)
______________________________________________________________________________________

Russian state-owned nuclear utility Rosatom has indicated that it would cooperate with India in building Russian-designed nuclear power stations in third countries. The Russians have established a regional centre in Mumbai, which is aimed at reinforcing partnerships with Indian suppliers and coordinating the company’s proposed projects in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The Mumbai centre will specifically work on “identifying new opportunities for the development of Rosatom’s nuclear power and non-energy businesses in the South Asian region”.

This comes at a time when Russia has been working hard on increasing its competitive edge in the nuclear plant construction market through serial production of new reactors across markets, including in India. The cooperation, officials involved in the exercise said, is to be extended to the area of joint extraction of natural uranium and the production of nuclear fuel and atomic waste elimination. The Russian proposal to jointly build nuclear power plants is significant, considering that Rosatom has 29 nuclear reactors in various stages of planning and construction in more than a dozen countries (the largest internationally). These include in Jordan, Hungary, Egypt, Iran, Finland, Turkey and Argentina.

Responding to a query on the issue, Alexey Pimenov, CEO, Rosatom South Asia told The Indian Express: “The opening of the centre in Mumbai was a logical and natural step in the development of our cooperation. The regional office allows us to strengthen our partnership with Indian colleagues to carry out ongoing projects and find new opportunities for the implementation of mutually beneficial projects in other areas that are relevant to the region. In addition, the employees of the centre also supervise our projects in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka”.

Rosatom has already opened similar centres in Central and Southern Africa, Eastern, Central and Western Europe, Central and Southeast Asia as well as North and Latin America. This year such centres have been opened in Dubai and Beijing, apart from the new one in Mumbai.

A Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) official said the development is build on the Strategic Vision document signed by the governments of India and the Russian Federation in December 2014 for strengthening cooperation in atomic energy.

The document mentioned that the two countries would explore “opportunities for sourcing materials, equipment and services from Indian industry for the construction of the Russian designed nuclear power plants in third countries”. The vision document

also suggested that the two countries “would examine the possibility of technical cooperation in mining activities within their territories and collaborate in exploration and mining activities in third countries”.

Rosatom has an ambitious target of increasing the foreign order portfolio to $150 billion in the next five years. In Bangladesh, Rosatom will start work on the Ruppur Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) by early 2017. The procedure to receive a permit for the site, which is one of the necessary conditions for the entry into force of the general contract, has taken place.

In 2013, The State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom signed an agreement with Sri Lanka’s Nuclear Energy Agency for cooperation in nuclear energy that provides for assistance to Sri Lanka in the development of nuclear energy infrastructure, the creation of a nuclear research centre, uranium exploration and the training of workers.

With India, Russia has already made an offer to provide a new range of reactor units — the VVER-Toi (typical optimised, enhanced information) design — for the third and fourth units of the Kudankulam project in Tamil Nadu. The Russians have also indicated that Rosatom is open to shortlisting a handful of Indian equipment vendors in a bid to move towards a serial construction model in India, starting with the localisation of mechanical engineering production to produce components and equipment here to avoid time and cost overruns, as experienced with the first two units of the Kudankulam project.

Negotiations for the design contract for units 3 and 4 are already underway and these new reactors, expected to be supplied with far greater local inputs than was used for the initial set of two VVER-1000 reactor units at Kudankulam, are likely to require just a four-year construction period between first pour of concrete and commissioning.

Russia and India had, late last year, agreed to actively work on projects deploying 12 additional nuclear reactors, for which the localisation of manufacturing in India under the NDA government’s flagship ‘Make in India’ initiative and the commencement of serial construction of nuclear power plants was flagged as a joint initiative.

In this context, the Programme of Action for localisation between Rosatom and India’s DAE was finalised during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Moscow visit last year. At the Kudankulam site, where the two Russian-designed VVER-1000 series reactors are being installed, nearly 100 Russian companies and organisations are involved in documentation, supply of equipment and controlling construction and equipping process. This has been cited as one of the reasons for the delays and localisation is being considered for quicker project execution at cheaper costs.

Russia has been working hard on increasing its competitive edge in the nuclear plant construction market through the serial production of new reactors across markets.

In 2012, an integrated Russian nuclear company was formed to consolidate its nuclear power engineering expertise into a single division, something that has enabled Rosatom to move towards a serial production option in the different countries that it is supplying projects to. The umbrella firm — NIAEP-JSC ASE — comprises over 20 entities, with the major players being Atomstroyexport, which specialises in the construction of overseas nuclear power plants; NIAEP, which builds units in Russia; and design company Atomenergoproekt. NIAEP-JSC ASE had a portfolio in 2014 worth about $60 billion.

Pimenov, in his response, said: “Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation is the undisputed leader in the global nuclear market and the only vendor in the world that is capable of providing a full range of services in the nuclear industry, from uranium mining and fuel production to designing nuclear infrastructure and gaining public acceptance of nuclear power. At the present time Rosatom is actively expanding its global footprint, regional offices are being opened. Their goals include the promotion of products and services, the development of new areas of work and, of course, the coordination of ongoing projects.”

India increasingly wary of rising Russia-Pakistan ties
With Russia and Pakistan holding their first ever foreign office consultations last week, India is worried and wary that its “time-tested” friend is looking more favourably at Pakistan, even accepting some of China’s views on that country.
Coming soon after the first ever joint military exercises between Russia and Pakistan and what New Delhi saw as attempts to block Indian efforts to “isolate” Islamabad politically, levels of concern are rising in the government and among India’s strategic community.
Indian government lacking a little bit of common sense with their plans to isolate Pakistan as if they can really isolate them which isn't likely. And what is the reason that they want Pakistan to go into isolation? So that they will come to their senses and even if they don't, they will still be forced to give their support to terror organisations and try for a better, progressive and complimentary relationship between us. Instead of seeking to isolate them from having any kind of relationship with other nations, Indian government should try to use this opportunity created by Russia to influence them give up extremisim for the good of all.

Vikas Swarup, spokesman for India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said, “I would not like to comment on the Russia-Pakistan relationship. This is a third country relationship. Our own relationship with Russia remains very strong and has been further strengthened by the visit of President Putin
However, senior Indian government officials told RIR that they were “uncomfortable” with some of Russia’s recent postures and overtures to Islamabad.
Zamir Kabulov, the Russian President’s Special Envoy on Afghanistan, said the Indian concern was “strange.”
Kabulov said, “The size of cooperation between Russia and India can’t be compared with the cooperation with Pakistan. It’s many hundred times more.” “We cannot understand this jealousy because India has very close cooperation with America in the field that we used to be the almost only trusted partner (defence). Have you heard any complaints from Moscow about that?”
Fair point by Mr. Kabulov.

A senior Indian official, however, disagreed with Kabulov’s assessment.

“The USA is miles away and not a neighbourhood threat,” the official said. “Our cooperation with the US does not threaten Russia. Russia’s defence cooperation and sales to Pakistan directly threatens us.”
I am pretty certain that Indian government can negotiate or come to an understanding with Russians where they (Pakistan) can't use Russian weapons for any mischief against India.

Roy went on to say, “Russia is beginning to prove somewhat undependable regarding Pakistan. According to some news, rise of Islamophiles in the Russian government, like Zamir Kabulov have dented the ranks of the Indophiles.
Even if Russia does stay from CPEC and do not engage in any kind of bilateral agreements/cooperation, what benefit will India get from it? They need to look out for their own interests as well. Isolation of Pakistan isn't the only way of eliminating terrorism. They should look/find out where there is possibility for co-operation by Pakistan with the help of Russia/China for resolving issues that has been a hindrance in our progress.


India should join CPEC, says top Pakistani armyman

He is selling Snake Oil, all the comments are seeping of arrogance and superiority complex. He wants us to involve Russia/China to fix our relation with Pakistan as if Russia and China are going to do this for us. What next? Involve Russia and China in bilateral disputes as well? Ask Russia and China to become the guardians of Indian Subcontinent?

India's concerns are genuine and instead of lecturing India as if we are novices, Russia must stop this dirty game.

India's engagement with US is not hurting the geopolitical interests of Russia in any manner, Russia must display similar sensitivities in our case.

I am suggesting to stop showing too much concern to Ruskies or for that matter US. Recognize our strength and act accordingly. If they are doing business with Pak then its their business.


This also applies to Indian media which give too much importance even the little brainfart of lowly terrorist such as Hafiz saeed that he started to quote Indian Media.

You got questions. But do you have suggestion/solution as well or do you think questioning Russia's intention and asking them to back out from any deals with Pakistan for sake of our friendship is actually going to get them back off? I don't seek any outside involvment in our disputes, but I do understand that there has always been some outside involvement in our disputes and eventually it may well come to a such situation where others might get involved. It depends if the Indian governments has any ultimate objective on what the end results of our dispute ought to be and whether they got a plan with a certain timeframe.

India's engagement with US is not hurting the geopolitical interests of Russia in any manner, Russia must display similar sensitivities in our case.
The point isn't about what Russia should or shouldn't. India deals with US, no complain from Russia; Russia deals with China, no complain from India, US dealt with Pakistan according to their interest and our say didn't matter for most time, China deals with India, Pakistanis show concern but they deal with us anyway. So why is this a big concern that Russians too are making deals with Pak? Because it's happening for the first time.

Who is saying Indian concerns aren't genuine? But for our concerns, they should completely ignore their own? I am thinking that if we were to swap each others places and put India in place of Russia, what would have been our approach. You got any idea other than asking to show some sensitivity towards us and to complain of betrayal if they don't?

Pakistan to attend trilateral meet with Russia and China
The trilateral meeting will be held on December 27 and peace in Afghanistan will be on the top of the agenda due to increasing threat of ISIS to Central Asia, which is considered as Russian backyard

Pakistan Thursday said its foreign secretary will travel to Russia to participate in a trilateral meeting with Russia and China next week which will discuss key regional issues including peace process in Afghanistan.

“The Foreign Secretary will lead the Pakistani delegation in this meeting. This is an existing forum for undertaking informal discussions on issues of regional peace and stability, including situation in Afghanistan,” Foreign Office (FO) spokesman Nafees Zakaria said at the weekly press briefing here.

The trilateral meeting will be held on December 27 and peace in Afghanistan will be on the top of the agenda due to increasing threat of ISIS to Central Asia, which is considered as Russian backyard.

There are also reports of contacts between Taliban and Russian officials as the latter recognise the importance of Taliban in checking the threat of ISIS. Zakaria said peace and stability in Afghanistan was in the interest of Pakistan and the entire region.

“In this spirit, we remain committed and extend all cooperation to the efforts towards bringing peace and stability in Afghanistan. Pakistan has played a very positive role in bringing warring factions to the negotiating table. Whenever we are approached to help bring the warring factions to the negotiating table, we will assist,” he said.

Indo Russian relations are finished. We will reunite at the fag end of WW3 i think but right now Russia is busy building up a new axis alliance with China and radical islam to bring down Europe and US and bring inWW3. Most likely Russia will rejoin our side at the end of WW3 (by the time US is destroyed by Russian nukes) and that will be decisive factor in defeat of China in WW3, but right now - no hopes
