Russia Unveils Digital Twin for Compact Nuclear Power Plant in Moscow
At World Nuclear Week, Russia showcased an interactive model of a small modular reactor’s control system, underscoring its ambitions to expand nuclear technology worldwide.
At the World Nuclear Week in Moscow, RASU, a Rosatom subsidiary, presented a concept for a control system designed for Russia’s first small modular reactors (SMRs) abroad.
The concept replicates a simplified station control room. At its core is an operator’s “smart assistant,” an information support system built on digital twin technology. This approach, already deployed at the Novovoronezh nuclear plant, makes it possible to manage hundreds of technological processes in real time. For future SMRs planned in Yakutia and Uzbekistan, engineers are developing a dedicated “brain center”—a top-level control system, fully designed and produced in Russia.
