© 2021 Obninsk Institute for Nuclear Power Engineering, National Research Nuclear University 'MEPhI'. All rights reserved.The authors present the results of a multicriteria comparative assessment of possible Russian nuclear power deployment scenarios with thermal and sodium-cooled fast reactors in a closed nuclear fuel cycle (the so-called two-component nuclear power system). The comparison and ranking were carried out taking into account the recommendations and using the IAEA/INPRO tools for comparative assessment of nuclear power systems, including the means of sensitivity/uncertainty analysis in relation to weighting factors. Within this work, 10 possible Russian nuclear energy deployment scenarios with different shares of thermal and sodium-cooled fast reactors were considered, including options involving the use of MOX fuel in VVER. Eight key indicators were used, assessed as of 2100 and structured into a three-level objectives tree. The comparative assessment and ranking were carried out on the basis of multi- A ttribute value theory. The model for assessing key indicators was developed using the IAEA/INPRO MESSAGE-NES nuclear energy planning tool. The information base of the study was formed by publications of experts from JSC SSC RF-IPPE, NRC Kurchatov Institute and NRNU MEPhI. The presented results show that it is possible to significantly increase the stability of the Russian nuclear power system, when considering several criteria of the system's efficiency, through the intensive deployment of sodium-cooled fast reactors and transition to a closed nuclear fuel cycle. The paper outlines the tasks for further research, which will make it possible to obtain more rigorous conclusions regarding the preferred options for the development of a two-component nuclear energy system.
