Rosatom at Technoprom-2025: Nuclear Technologies Set the Trend for the Future

The 12th International Forum Technoprom-2025, held from August 27 to 30, 2025, showcased Russia’s most advanced technologies. The nuclear sector remains a driver of innovation, from digital twins to materials of the future.

Presenting Innovations

The Technoprom-2025 forum brought together leading scientists, business representatives, and government officials to discuss Russia’s key pathways to technological breakthroughs. Rosatom was among the central participants, unveiling projects in nuclear power, fusion research, new materials, medicine, and digital solutions. More than 40 of the corporation’s experts took part in sessions, presented projects, and shared their experience in innovation deployment. The overarching theme, “Science, Talent, Industry,” highlighted the need to prepare specialists for high-tech sectors.

Rosatom’s key developments include digital twins for nuclear power plant (NPP) operations, AI-based systems for predicting material behavior, and 3D-printing technologies for the nuclear industry. For example, the digital twin implemented at Rosatom enterprises allows modeling NPP operations with up to 95% accuracy, reducing risks and costs. In the field of new materials, the corporation introduced composites and ultra-pure substances for use in microelectronics and medicine.

These digital and material innovations reduce dependence on imports, and their deployment at plants such as Smolensk and Beloyarsk enhances energy system reliability. For millions of citizens, this translates into stable electricity supply and potentially lower costs. Internationally, Rosatom demonstrates that Russian technologies can compete with solutions from the US and China, attracting partners from BRICS countries.

Today at Rosatom, we are learning to shape technological agendas and set long-term goals. We are accustomed to working with knowledge-intensive projects where science is embedded within. It is not always easy to forecast precisely how a scientific task will be solved or what tools will be used. At present, what we lack most is an institutional framework. Each sector has its own support tools, but synchronized measures that generate a synergistic effect are still missing. Such an institutional approach is both important and necessary

New Horizons

Rosatom’s participation at Technoprom-2025 opens new opportunities for the sector. Domestically, digital twins and AI solutions will be scaled to all NPPs, including new and under-construction units such as the BN-1200M reactor at Beloyarsk NPP. This is expected to cut operating costs by 15–20% while enhancing safety. Additive manufacturing technologies showcased at the forum are already being used for reactor components and could be adapted in the future for industries such as aviation and mechanical engineering.

Export potential is also strong. As of August 2025, Rosatom’s international portfolio includes 39 nuclear power units under construction in 10 countries, including China, Turkey, India, Egypt, Hungary, Iran, and Bangladesh, with additional agreements under consideration in Armenia, Brazil, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Uzbekistan, and Sri Lanka. BRICS countries, such as India and China, show growing interest in Russian technologies, particularly in AI and materials. By aligning with IAEA standards, Rosatom could expand further into Asian and Latin American markets.

Technoprom-2025 underscored that Rosatom has become a flagship for technological progress in both Russia and the global nuclear industry.

Retrospective

In 2022, the corporation deployed a digital twin at Novovoronezh NPP, reducing downtime by 10%.

In 2024, serial production began for RusMelt 310M 3D printers designed for the nuclear sector, while in 2023 AI-based materials science systems improved forecast accuracy by 20%.

These steps laid the groundwork for the current innovations presented at Technoprom-2025. The US and China are also advancing AI and 3D-printing, but Russia’s solutions stand out for their localization and integration with nuclear energy.
