Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in September that the country would be constructing the world's first nuclear power system with a closed fuel cycle in the Tomsk Region, with the launch date set for 2030."I think if it can be done as he [Putin] promised or announced, this will be a huge breakthrough, actually. So far, I think no country has succeeded in the complete cycle of reusing the waste and then doing it again. So it can be done [and it is] a huge breakthrough," Chung said on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week in Moscow.At the same time, he voiced his concerns about the complexity of the project's implementation since it has never been done before."I think there is one very important technological hurdle that all the countries around the world are trying to make a breakthrough on. So if Russia can do that, it will be a huge contribution," Dr. Chung added.During the announcement, Putin also said that the planned construction of the closed fuel cycle reactor is, in the full sense, a revolutionary development of Russian scientists and engineers. Such a mechanism will make it possible in the future to almost completely solve the problems of accumulation of radioactive waste and, most importantly, to remove the issue of uranium security, according to the president.

Russia Developing Closed-Cycle NPP Would Be 'Huge Breakthrough' - Nobel Prize Laureate
If Russia successfully develops a closed-fuel-cycle nuclear power plant, it would be a huge breakthrough and a great contribution for global energy, Dr. Rae Kwon Chung, a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and the Chair of the Global Energy Prize International Award Committee, told Sputnik on Wednesday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in September that the country would be constructing the world's first nuclear power system with a closed fuel cycle in the Tomsk Region, with the launch date set for 2030.
"I think if it can be done as he [Putin] promised or announced, this will be a huge breakthrough, actually.
