‘Icebreaker of Knowledge’. A competitive process started in late April to select international participants for the Icebreaker of Knowledge, a global science and education initiative. Aiming to promote natural sciences and nuclear technologies, identify and support talented children, develop their skills, and assist them with career guidance, this initiative engages students aged 14 to 16. Finalists will embark on an educational expedition to the North Pole aboard a nuclear icebreaker. Students from 20 countries will be able to participate in the selection process. The application period remains open until June 20 at  goarctic.energy. The Icebreaker of Knowledge educational initiative is organized by the network of Information Centers for Atomic Energy with support from Rosatom. This year’s sixth edition of the initiative is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Russia’s nuclear industry and the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Northern Sea Route exploration.

China. Rosatom took part in the 16th China International Exhibition on Nuclear Power Industry (CIENPI 2025) held in Beijing in late April. The exhibition brought together more than 100 organizations, including leading global energy companies, research institutes, and China’s government agencies. Rosatom showcased an interactive display featuring fourth-generation Russian nuclear power systems, achievements in long-term Russian-Chinese cooperation in peaceful uses of nuclear energy, including the Tianwan NPP and Xudabao NPP projects, and its latest developments in nuclear medicine and logistics. As part of the business program, executives from several Rosatom Group companies presented their offerings in nuclear power plant construction, nuclear fuel production, and spent nuclear fuel management.

Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited Rosatom’s booth at the INNOPROM Central Asia international industrial exhibition. Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev briefed the president on technological solutions in nuclear energy and electromobility. Among the exhibits displayed was a model of a small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear power plant featuring Russian-designed RITM-200N reactors. Six such reactors will be built at Uzbekistan’s first SMR plant. Additionally, Alexey Likhachev demonstrated Rosatom’s electromobility solutions, including lithium-ion batteries and a prototype of a compact charging station.
