  • Russia's Nuclear Security Policy
    Innovative approaches to peace and security from the Stanley Foundation POLICYANALYSISBRIEF THE STANLEY FOUNDATION | MAY 2015 Russia’s Nuclear Security Policy: Priorities and Potential Areas for Cooperation The crisis over Ukraine has led to a drastic reduction in regular official Russian-US contacts in most areas, including those where it is in the two countries’ mutual national security interests to work together. Bilateral cooperation on nuclear nonproliferation and nuclear security has been among the affected areas. The United States has suspended contacts with Russia in the framework of the G-8 and in the Russian-US Bilateral Presidential Commission’s Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Security Working Group. Implementation of the September 2013 agreement on Cooperation in Nuclear- and Energy- Related Scientific Research and Development (R&D Agreement), which Anton Khlopkov prioritizes joint efforts on nuclear nonproliferation and nuclear security, has also been put on hold, and exchanges between nuclear scientists of the two Author countries have been frozen. In turn, Russia has decided not to take part in Anton Khlopkov1 is director of the preparations for the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit. Moscow also notified Moscow-based Center for Energy and Washington that most of the joint nuclear security projects in Russia would Security Studies and editor in chief of the not be extended beyond December 31, 2014. journal Nuclear Club.

Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission - R550.1 Survey of Design and Regulatory Requirements for New Small Reactors, Contract No. 87055-13-0356 Final Report - July 3, 2014 Executive Summary The objectives of this report are to perform a design survey of small modular reactors (SMRs) with near-term deployment potential, with a particular emphasis on identifying their innovative safety features, and to review the Canadian nuclear regulatory framework to assess whether the current and proposed regulatory documents adequately address SMR licensing challenges. SMRs are being designed to lower the initial financing cost of a nuclear power plant or to supply electricity in small grids (often in remote areas) which cannot accommodate large nuclear power plants (NPPs). The majority of the advanced SMR designs is based on pressurized water reactor (PWR) technology, while some non-PWR Generation IV technologies (e.g., gas-cooled reactor, lead-cooled reactor, sodium-cooled fast reactor, etc.) are also being pursued.
