Researchers from the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University have presented a digital model of a vitrification furnace for high-level radioactive waste. The digital model will allow engineers to plan production cycles for complex nuclear waste disposal equipment more quickly, efficiently, and safely. The development is being commissioned by the Mayak Production Association (part of Rosatom State Corporation) and is based on the CML-Bench® digital twin development and application platform under the supervision of Alexey Borovkov, Chief Designer for System Digital Engineering, SPbPU's key scientific and technological development area.

Vitrification technology is the global standard for liquid radioactive waste disposal. Sintering in a special furnace at temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees Celsius transforms the waste into a solid, glass-like substance. This approach achieves two key objectives: first, it reduces the initial volume of hazardous materials by removing the liquid component, and second, it encases them in a chemically stable and durable form, ideal for safe storage over long periods of time. This is the most effective and safest of all existing methods.

Engineers from the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University's PSI have developed a digital model of a vitrification furnace. It allows engineers to "peek inside" a working installation and conduct hundreds of digital tests, ushering in a new era in the design of critical nuclear facilities.

The model shows how the glass melt moves, how the temperature changes in different zones, and how the equipment responds to changing operating modes. This is especially important for ensuring the efficient operation of such complex equipment as a vitrification furnace. The digital model takes into account the influence of complex physical processes, including heat transfer, hydrodynamics, electrodynamics, and more. Simultaneously considering multiple input parameters and their interactions allows for complex studies to be conducted digitally to optimize the vitrification process, which is cheaper and safer than in-kind testing, noted Dmitry Evstratov, Lead Engineer of the Cross-Industry Technologies Department at the Engineering Center (CompMechLab®) at PISh SPbPU.

Only a limited number of countries possess the technology to vitrify high-level radioactive waste, but a digital model of this unique equipment has been created for the first time in the world.

The main practical result of this development is that the system enables full-scale testing on virtual test rigs, repeatedly validating various operating scenarios and design solutions. Using digital twin technology shifts the bulk of engineering risks to the development stage. This means that both developers and operators of high-tech equipment can test the effectiveness of various operating scenarios on the CML-Bench® digital platform and implement the one that yields the best digital test results in a real installation. This dramatically reduces the need for expensive and time-consuming full-scale testing and numerous design modifications. As a result, overall installation lifecycle costs are reduced, and its reliability increases significantly, noted Yuri Gorsky, Head of the Cross-Industry Technologies Department at the Engineering Center (CompMechLab®) at PSI SPbPU.

To create the model, scientists used advanced computer modeling techniques: finite element and finite volume methods, supplemented by machine learning and regression analysis algorithms. The digital model has already been validated: its performance was compared with data from an existing pilot plant. Discrepancies in key parameters were minimal, confirming its validity.

Work in this area has been underway at SPbPU for several years. In 2023, a team from the Engineering Center (CompMechLab®) at SPbPU's PISh, commissioned by FSUE PO Mayak (Rosatom State Corporation), developed the architecture of the future digital twin—its detailed design and a system of mathematical and computer models. This work represents a logical and fundamentally new result: the previously developed architecture has been embodied in a fully functional digital engineering tool.

The Polytechnic University's student brigades continue the proud traditions established over seven decades ago. The first group of Polytechnic students went to work on the construction of the Alakus Hydroelectric Power Plant back in 1948. As the oldest in the country, the Polytechnic University's student brigades comprise 26 student formations.

Recently, activists held their traditional fair in the university's Main Building, introducing everyone to their work. Polytechnic students were able to learn about key areas of work—from construction and pedagogy to archeology and service—and also learn the steps needed to earn the legendary soldier's jacket—the drill jacket. The fair served not only as a place to attract newcomers but also as a meeting place for old friends, featuring contests, raffles, and activities to suit every taste.

The student brigade movement in the Northern Capital is experiencing rapid growth. By the summer of 2025, the city already had 165 brigade groups operating in 10 different areas. This fact was previously noted by Governor Alexander Beglov, who emphasized the importance of educating young people about work. At official ceremonies, the governor personally presented the highest award—the honorary banner—to the movement's best representatives, recognizing their contribution to the city's development.

This year, the highest award for student teams was presented for the sixth time. Seventeen teams competed for the right to hold the challenge banner—a record number of participants in the competition's history. Three student associations represented the Polytechnic University: the teaching team "SOzvezdie," the construction team "Iskra," and the guide team "Provorny." As per tradition, the winner's name was kept a closely guarded secret until the ceremony was announced. This year, the winner was the student service team "Skif" from the St. Petersburg State University of Economics.

The celebration culminated in an educational forum held at the Pribaltiyskaya Hotel. It brought together a thousand students and schoolchildren from across St. Petersburg. The forum's program focused on the comprehensive development of participants: they were offered workshops on employment, lectures on grant support, and financial literacy. Special attention was paid to digital competencies, adaptation to changes in the labor market driven by artificial intelligence, as well as psychological health and teamwork.

For the second time, the forum hosted an employers' exhibition, where team leaders held working meetings with company representatives to discuss joint projects and future plans.

The celebrations extended far beyond the city limits: career forums dedicated to RSO Day covered more than 80 regions across the country. A total of over 70,000 people participated—from experienced student brigade members to teenagers from work brigades, as well as anyone considering joining this massive movement.

The 3rd International Obninsk Tech Winter School, an educational program of the Obninsk.Tech project, concluded in Obninsk. Held at the Obninsk Institute of Atomic Energy of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (a flagship university of the Rosatom State Corporation), with the support of Rosatom, the school brought together 125 undergraduate and graduate students from around the world.

Participants included students from international educational programs at the Institute of Power Engineering of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. For SPbPU representatives, this week was not only an opportunity to deepen their professional knowledge but also a significant milestone in their personal and international professional development.

The educational program traditionally focused on three key areas: fundamental theory, practical laboratory work, and technical tours of nuclear industry facilities. Leading industry experts and Rosatom ambassadors shared their experiences with the participants during the lecture series. The lectures were aimed at broadening their professional horizons and developing a strategic vision for the development of nuclear energy.

The practical part took place in the modern scientific laboratories of the Institute of Nuclear Power Engineering (INPhI) at MEPhI. Students worked in the areas of dosimetry, radiation monitoring, electronics and automation for nuclear power plants, electrical engineering, 3D modeling, non-destructive testing, and materials science. This format allowed participants to consolidate their theoretical knowledge and acquire applied competencies in demand in the international nuclear industry.

A separate section of the program included technical tours to Rosatom State Corporation's flagship facilities and high-tech enterprises in the Kaluga Region—the Rosatom Technical Academy, the IPPE Institute, the A.F. Tsyb Moscow Regional Nuclear Research Center, the LUCH Research Center, and other organizations. Participants had the opportunity to explore unique installations and practical aspects of the peaceful application of nuclear technology.

A key event for many students was a visit to the world's first nuclear power plant. Among them was IE student Anas Abuhajras (Palestine). He says even a return visit doesn't diminish the emotion: "This experience was both captivating and amazing. Visiting the birthplace of nuclear energy is a tremendous honor. Even being here for the second time, I experienced the same emotions as the first. Learning about the workings of nuclear facilities and medical centers was incredibly fascinating."

According to Anas, the school's greatest value lies in its international professional community: "Without initiatives like these, bringing together students from different countries who speak the same professional language would be impossible. It's a chance to exchange ideas and work together to solve real-life engineering cases at hackathons. It's been an incredibly enriching experience."

The international nature of the participants allowed for an open dialogue about the development of the nuclear industry in various countries. Student Sizakele Kumalo (South Africa), also representing IE, noted the significance of participating in the global project: "Being part of this international project was a truly wonderful and amazing experience. I was delighted that my institute supported this initiative. The Winter School allowed me to better understand and explore various areas of nuclear technology and their applications through lectures, practical classes, technical tours, and, of course, live interaction with people from diverse cultures."

Student Samuel Gebreninsae (Eritrea) emphasized the harmonious combination of a rich professional program and the cultural component: "The program was very intensive, but the visit to the first nuclear power plant was a turning point for me. It gave me a direct understanding of the origins of the industry."

Over the course of a week, participants worked on projects as part of HackAtom, a team-based engineering intensive aimed at finding original solutions for the application of nuclear technology and the development of the industry. The project defenses marked the logical conclusion of the program. At the closing ceremony, students were awarded certificates of professional development, and the winning teams of HackAtom and the Atomic Triathlon received awards.

As Tatyana Osipova, Director of the Obninsk.Tech project office, noted, holding the school is of strategic importance for strengthening Obninsk's position as a global center for nuclear education and developing an international professional community.

The participation of students from the Institute of Power Engineering at SPbPU in the Obninsk Tech Winter School was an important step in developing their professional competencies, expanding their international connections, and fostering sustainable motivation to work in the global nuclear industry.

A Russian Armed Forces soldier and drone operator with the call sign "Boroda" gave an interview to Ivan Kolomeytsev, Associate Professor at the Higher School of Social Sciences at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University Institute of Humanities. They discussed the importance of unmanned forces, in-demand professions, and what might help motivate someone to join the ranks of defenders of the Fatherland.

Our guest is an active officer, twice awarded the Order of Courage. He joined the military at the call of his country, to defend it. He initially just tried out UAVs, but he got good at them and developed them into a military specialty.

The guest talked about the team atmosphere and whether it's difficult to adapt: "Our team is normal, everything is good and fun. Yes, there are work-related moments, and there's no time for jokes, but when we get back to our positions, it's fine: we drink tea, watch movies, and talk."

The soldier explained that serving in the unmanned forces requires a good understanding of maps and navigation skills. Computer gamers who use joysticks are very comfortable with the task. Controlling a drone requires well-developed motor skills.

Currently, UAV operators are in high demand in the Armed Forces.In addition, IT specialists are needed to reprogram the drones and engineers to assemble them and troubleshoot them.

Serving in unmanned combat forces is considered one of the safest positions in combat zones. Such soldiers don't need to get close to the enemy, as drones fly over long distances.

At the end of the meeting, our guest offered advice to young people considering joining the drone force: What advice would you give to those who are hesitant? You could think about it and do more research. You could also take training, which is possible in civilian life. You'll then be able to see how much you enjoy it. If you enjoy it, we'd be delighted to see you. Unfortunately, there aren't many people in this field right now because few are skilled at operating drones.
