Landscape shot of Russia's BN-800.

The BN-800 is a Russian sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor (pool-type design) at the Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Station, with a gross electrical output of approximately 880 MW, that entered commercial operation in 2016 and demonstrates closed nuclear fuel cycle technologies using plutonium-based MOX fuel. It is considered the world's first Gen IV nuclear reactor.

Nexus Rating SystemBeta

Solutions to the climate emergency have unique social and environmental effects, positive and negative. To develop a broader understanding of the solutions in Nexus, we rate each solution on five criteria.

Sources for each Nexus are graded numerically (-3 through 10), and the average is displayed as a letter grade. You can explore each source in depth by clicking “view sources” below. For more information, see our Nexus Ratings page.
