“Of course military matters still occupy an important place, as by handling these the security of the state is guaranteed, but atomic scientists are also promoting civilian conversion technologies, which today have already made it into space and exploit the world’s oceans,” Rumyantsev said, according to the agency .
“We are making sure progress towards finding solutions to problems, which just yesterday were believed to be tasks for the distant future,” he said. He singled out “the move, on one hand, to 1,500 MW reactors and, on the other hand, to low capacity reactors, including floating reactors,” as being priorities in the energy sector.
Among the projects named by Rumyantsev were heavy coolant reactors and also hydrogen power. “Currently a state programme for the development of hydrogen power is being drawn up. The possibilities it offers, being environmentally safe, are immense,” he said, as quoted by Mosnews.ru. "
