Abstract: The project Proryv [Breakthrough] now being implemented in our country is aimed at achieving a new quality of large-scale nuclear power, development, origination, and industrial implementation of a closed nuclear fuel cycle with thermal and fast reactors. Here the current status of the technologies for reprocessing spent nuclear fuel and recycling plutonium fuel is analyzed, and it is shown that the prerequisites for closing the nuclear fuel cycle in two-component nuclear energy in the mid-term from the mid-2030s are present.
