National projects in the field of nuclear energy: a comparison of Russia, China and India

The article presents the results of the analysis of project activities in the field of nuclear energy for Russia, China and India. The purpose of the work is to compare the experience of countries in the development and implementation of national projects in the field of nuclear energy. A brief overview of the development of the countries' project activities is presented, the role of the state is emphasized, the leading national projects are named, the goals and main indicators of their implementation are noted, promising tasks in the field of nuclear energy are highlighted. The novelty of the study is to compare the experience of countries in the development and implementation of national projects in the field of nuclear energy in key aspects, which allows us to get a systematic understanding of best practices, identify common trends and differences, and formulate recommendations for improving the safety and efficiency of the industry. General policy directions in the field of nuclear energy are proposed, which are based on the experience of Russia, China and India.

Methodology and Methods. The research methodology is based on a systematic review approach, including the collection, selection and analysis of existing publications, regulatory, statistical documentation and reporting on national projects of Russia, China and India in the field of nuclear energy. The research used general scientific methods in the form of theoretical analysis, logical and analytical methods, synthesis, the method of comparison and comparison, and the graphical method. Validation of the conclusions was carried out by comparing materials from different sources and their qualitative processing in order to ensure reproducibility and reliability of the conclusions obtained.

Results. An overview of the development of countries' project activities in the field of nuclear energy at the national level is presented, the role of government agencies is emphasized, leading national projects are named, goals, targets and key activities within their implementation are noted, the fulfillment of certain targets of the Russian national project "New Nuclear and Energy Technologies in the field of nuclear Energy" is presented and an assessment is given implementation of the plans of China and India, the main tasks in the field of nuclear energy of the countries are named, The experience of countries in the development and implementation of national projects in the field of nuclear energy in key aspects is compared, features, common features and differences in the approaches of countries to project activities are highlighted, general directions of policy in the field of nuclear energy are proposed, which are based on the experience of Russia, China and India and can be useful for the formation of a state strategy.

Discussion. The results of the study made it possible to identify and compare the specifics of project activities in the nuclear energy sector in the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China and the Republic of India, and to develop common policies in the field of nuclear energy based on the experience of the countries. Nevertheless, constant updating of the information provided is required, due to the active development of nuclear energy not only in these countries, but throughout the world. Issues of international cooperation aimed at improving safety, reducing risks and increasing confidence in nuclear energy at the global level are also of interest
