2018 dodge journey no start..

My vehicle has been pretty good up until two weeks ago , September 9, 2022. I experienced a no start situation with the vehicle towed to the dealership and the dealership has no idea what’s happening or watt they report bad battery no charge etc. I’m suspecting that the PCM has a bad chip due to a recall that was performed supposedly in 2018. I don’t believe my vehicle was recalled and have not received a recall notice from Chrysler Corp. so now I’ve got a dead vehicle in the shop the dealership has no concept of what’s happening and the service writer seems to be not knowledgeable enough to research the problem.

Little Flaws

Love my Journey but have notice several with a missing antenna and also several with foggy headlights. Like moisture buildup inside the headlight assemblies. Bluetooth doesn't always hook up. Not the easiest on gas.

• Performance 4.0
• Purchased a Used car
• Used for Commuting

Journey needs help

Motor lacks pick up/passing power. Acceleration is slow at best! As for reliability, the passenger’s light does not work right, there is a slight sputter and a slight rattle in the front end!

2018 Dodge Journey Overview

Is the 2018 dodge journey a good used suv.

The 2018 Dodge Journey is not a great midsize SUV . While it has a few appealing traits, its negatives outweigh its positives.

The 2018 Journey does have a few strengths:

• Uconnect infotainment system is easy to use
• Rides gently over most surfaces
• Lower ownership costs than some class rivals

But it has several drawbacks:

• Less cargo room than many rivals
• Lower safety scores and fewer safety features than most rivals
• Lowest possible predicted reliability rating
• Excessive body lean makes this vehicle feel unwieldy at times
• Lethargic engines

Is It Better to Buy a Used or New Journey?

Dodge redesigned the Journey for the 2009 model year, and this SUV hasn’t seen any major changes since 2011. Many of the updates since then have consisted of reshuffling trims. For example, Dodge cut the AVP and Limited trims for 2016 and introduced the Crossroad Plus. For 2017, the GT replaced the R/T, and for 2018, Dodge narrowed the lineup to four trim levels and made a third-row seat standard.

Which Used Dodge Journey Trim Is Right for Me?

The Journey is available in four trim levels: SE, SXT, Crossroad, and GT. A four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive come standard in the three lower trims. A more capable V6 engine and all-wheel drive are available in every trim except the top-of-the-line GT, where they come standard.

The base Journey SE is sparsely equipped for a midsize SUV . Not even Bluetooth comes standard. The SXT doesn’t add much in the way of features. The Crossroad adds a larger infotainment screen and a little more interior versatility. In addition to the V6 engine and all-wheel drive mentioned above, the GT trim has a sport-tuned suspension and several of the comfort features available in the Crossroad trim.

The Crossroad is the best bet for most shoppers because it's the lowest trim available with several comfort, convenience, and active safety features. Just be aware that you'll need to shop for the specific features you want.

• Dodge Journey SE: The entry-level Journey SE has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, a four-speed automatic transmission, the Uconnect infotainment system, a 4.3-inch touch screen, a USB port, a six-speaker stereo, proximity keyless entry, and push-button start. Available options include Bluetooth, satellite radio, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
• Dodge Journey SXT: The Dodge Journey SXT adds no standard features to the SE’s equipment list, but you may find SXTs with features that weren't offered in the base trim, such as a power-adjustable driver’s seat and a fold-flat front passenger seat.
• Dodge Journey Crossroad: The Dodge Journey Crossroad has an 8.4-inch touch screen, dual-zone automatic climate control, and all the options listed above. You may also find Crossroad models equipped with tri-zone automatic climate control, remote start, heated front seats, leather seats, a heated steering wheel, a navigation system, a rear-seat entertainment system with a 9-inch screen, a sunroof, rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera. When new, the Crossroad was the lowest trim to offer these options.
• Dodge Journey GT: The Journey GT features a V6 engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, a high-performance suspension, remote start, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a six-speaker premium stereo. Many of the same options from the Crossroad are available in the GT.

What Does Dodge's Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?

Dodge offers a certified pre-owned program for vehicles six years old or less and with fewer than 65,000 miles. Eligibility is determined by the vehicle’s initial sale date. For its certified pre-owned vehicles, Dodge offers a five-year/100,000-mile maximum care limited warranty. Additional benefits are available, including a 90-day satellite radio trial subscription, a Carfax vehicle history report, 24-hour towing and roadside assistance and a car rental allowance. There are mileage and model restrictions too. 

Dodge has one of the weaker CPO warranties among affordable carmakers, according to our analysis. Rivals such as Kia, Hyundai, Chevy, Ford and Honda are all better.

See the best CPO programs »

Extended Warranties for Dodge Cars and SUVs

Not every used Dodge will qualify for a certified pre-owned warranty. However, there are options available if you want additional coverage after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired.

2018 Dodge Journey Versus the Competition

Which is better: 2018 dodge journey or 2018 hyundai santa fe.

The 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe is a great midsize SUV . It’s available in two body types: the two-row Sport and the three-row Santa Fe. Both body styles have more cargo space than the Journey. The Santa Fe also has higher safety scores, a better predicted reliability rating, more standard features, and available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Its available engine options are energetic, and it has a more composed ride. The Hyundai is the superior choice.

Which Is Better: 2018 Dodge Journey or 2018 Kia Sorento?

The 2018 Kia Sorento is another great choice. It has an elegant cabin, good safety and predicted reliability ratings, strong engine options, and a coddling ride. The Sorento has more cargo space than the Dodge too. Compared to the Sorento, the Journey will save you around $3,000 on average, and it has standard third-row seating – an option in the Sorento. Still, if you have a little leeway in your budget, the Kia is the superior choice.

Compare the Journey, Santa Fe, and Sorento »

2018 Journey Performance

How does the 2018 journey drive.

The base engine struggles at highway speeds and when the Journey is loaded with passengers and cargo. It’s also noisy, and the four-speed automatic transmission makes poorly timed shifts. The V6 fares better, but not by much. Models equipped with the V6 engine still deliver sluggish acceleration.

This crossover SUV drives like a larger vehicle, with lots of body lean. It’s capable of handling winding roads, though, and its suspension does a good job smoothing over road flaws.

• Base engine: 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque
• Available engines: 3.6-liter V6 with 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque
• Drivetrain: standard front-wheel drive; available all-wheel drive
• Transmission: standard four-speed automatic; available six-speed automatic (with V6)

Does the 2018 Journey Get Good Gas Mileage?

The base four-cylinder engine returns typical fuel economy estimates for the class.

• 2.4-liter: 19/25 mpg city/highway
• 3.6-liter, FWD: 17/25 mpg
• 3.6-liter, AWD: 16/24 mpg

2018 Dodge Journey Towing Capacity

When properly equipped, the Journey can tow up to 2,500 pounds.

2018 Journey Interior

How many people does the 2018 journey seat.

The Journey seats seven people in three rows. The front seats are supportive and comfortable, and the second-row seats have ample head- and legroom for most adults. Space in the third row is tight; these seats are best left for kids. The cabin has an upscale look and feel, with lots of soft-touch surfaces.

Standard seating features:

• cloth seats

Available seating features:

• leather seats
• heated front seats
• power-adjustable driver’s seat
• power-folding front passenger seat
• heated steering wheel

How Many Child Car Seats Fit in the 2018 Journey?

For securing child car seats, this SUV has two complete sets of LATCH connectors on the outboard second-row seats. There’s also a third tether anchor and a single lower anchor for the second row's rear middle seat, and another lower anchor can be borrowed from the second-row passenger-side seat. The whole setup received a second-worst Marginal rating for ease of use from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety because the tether anchors are hard to find and can be easily confused for other hardware.

2018 Dodge Journey Features

Prominent in any Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, or Dodge vehicle, the Uconnect infotainment system draws praise for being exceptionally easy to use. The larger touch screen has crisp graphics and responds quickly to inputs. However, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are unavailable.

• Standard infotainment features: Uconnect infotainment system with a 4.3-inch touch screen, a USB port, and a six-speaker stereo
• Available infotainment features: an 8.4-inch touch screen, a navigation system, a rear-seat DVD player with a 9-inch screen, Bluetooth, and satellite radio
• Additional standard features: push-button start and proximity keyless entry
• Other available features: dual-zone automatic climate control, tri-zone automatic climate control, remote start, and a sunroof

2018 Dodge Journey Dimensions

Dodge journey cargo space.

The Journey has 10.7 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, 37 cubic feet behind the second row, and 67.6 cubic feet behind the front row.

Most other midsize crossovers, such as the 2018 Dodge Durango , have more cargo room. Even some compact SUVs , like the 2018 Toyota RAV4 , have more room. Additionally, the high liftover height makes it difficult to load heavier items. On the plus side, the fold-flat front passenger seat makes it easier to store longer items.

These cargo dimensions are for comparative purposes. There is no substitute for visually examining the storage area in any car you’re considering.

2018 Dodge Journey Length and Weight

• Length: 16 feet
• Curb weight: 3,818 to 4,238 pounds

2018 Dodge Journey: It's Still Here

In its ninth year, this bigger-than-most crossover still sells against much fresher competition.

The Journey comes in base SE, mainstream SXT, stylish Crossroad, and well-equipped GT trims. A 173-hp 2.4-liter inline-four with a four-speed automatic transmission (there’s a sign of how old it is—only four ratios!) is standard on all front-drive Journeys except the GT. All-wheel-drive models and the front-drive GT come with a 283-hp 3.6-liter V-6 bolted to a six-speed automatic. For this review, we sampled an AWD Crossroad V-6 model.

What’s New: The Journey is like an oldies radio station that you listen to because you know all the words to the songs. For 2017, the V-6–powered GT model replaced the ambitiously named R/T and featured a stiffer suspension, red-stitched leather seats, 19-inch aluminum wheels, and a premium sound system. All 2018 Journey models now come standard with a third-row seat—the five-seat version has been dropped—which technically makes it a seven-passenger vehicle, so long as the aft occupants aren’t fully grown. Also new for 2018, Dodge has expanded the availability of the popular Blacktop appearance package to all Journey models including the base SE; it brings a black grille, black front-fascia trim, black-painted aluminum wheels, black roof rails, and black mirrors. Last year’s Crossroad Plus trim has been dropped.

What We Like: When Chrysler was developing the Journey, it borrowed some designers from its minivan program who managed to imbue the crossover with clever storage solutions. All Journeys feature hidden compartments big enough to stow larger items like cameras, tablets, laptops, and such out of sight under the second-row footwells and beneath the rear cargo floor. The 283-hp 3.6-liter V-6 delivers decent performance, especially next to competitors in the Journey’s under-$30K price category. The 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system that’s standard on the Crossroad and the GT (but not available on the SE or the SXT) is one of the simplest and easiest-to-use systems out there, especially at the price.

What We Don’t Like: Even though Dodge says it sells slightly more four-cylinder/four-speed Journeys than V-6/six-speed versions, we’d leave those slow, noisy four-bangers to populate the rental fleets. Neither the four- nor the six-cylinder is particularly thrifty at the pump. Transmission shift quality—even with the newer six-speed—can be inconsistent, mixing abrupt gearchanges with stretchy ones. As with many compact and mid-size crossovers with third-row seats, the Journey’s are useless for adult habitation. This Dodge drives like what it is—a mildly updated 10-year-old design. That said, it’s one of the last vehicles with hydraulically assisted steering, so weighting and effort buildup actually feel more organic than in the electrically assisted systems in more modern crossovers.

Verdict: Joey Chestnut can eat more hot dogs, but the Journey has more stash space.

Has Your Car's Value Changed?

Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.

Edmunds' Expert Review

• Extra versatility provided by standard three-row seat
• Low price for the segment
• Lacks many modern safety and convenience features, even in top trims
• Below-average fuel economy
• Disappointing and outdated base engine and transmission
• Handling and drivability lag behind competitors

Vehicle overview

The Dodge Journey could very well be the car that time forgot. It debuted back in 2009 and has been pretty much the same vehicle since. While this longevity is admirable and speaks to the inherent goodness of the Journey's design concept, there's no denying that it's behind the times in quite a few areas.

Cost to Drive Cost to drive estimates for the 2018 Dodge Journey SE 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.61 per gallon for regular unleaded in New Jersey.

As in previous years, the 2018 version of the Journey has three rows and a low price, but it lacks quite a few of the safety features buyers might expect, even when fully optioned. Its base engine is a truly underwhelming four-cylinder paired to an outdated four-speed automatic, and the combo results in subpar fuel economy. A stronger V6 is available, but even so equipped the Journey can't keep up with other three-row SUVs.

It's not all bad news for the Journey. We like the ride quality, and the seats are comfortable all around. The 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system included on upper trims is also a solid system, although it sadly has not been upgraded to the latest version that includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration.

The Journey will get you where you're going, and will do so for less money than many competitors. But overall we think you'll be happier with vehicles such as the Kia Sorento, GMC Acadia or new Volkswagen Tiguan.

Edmunds' Expert Rating

Trim tested.

Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our first drive of the 2014 Dodge Journey SXT Plus (3.6L V6 | 6-speed automatic | AWD).

NOTE: Since this test was conducted, the current Dodge Journey has received some revisions, including an improved infotainment interface and standard third-row seating. Our findings remain broadly applicable to this year's Dodge Journey, however.

Acceleration

Drivability, seat comfort, ride comfort, noise & vibration, ease of use, getting in/getting out, which journey does edmunds recommend, 2018 dodge journey models.

All four Journey trims come standard with front-wheel drive and, excluding the GT, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (173 hp, 166 lb-ft of torque) paired with a four-speed automatic. Opting for all-wheel drive (or the front-wheel-drive Journey GT) gets you a 3.6-liter V6 (283 hp, 260 lb-ft of torque) and a six-speed automatic transmission. The V6 is also available as a stand-alone option for the SXT and Journey trims.

Standard feature highlights for the Journey SE include 17-inch steel wheels, a height-adjustable driver seat, 60/40-split second-row seats (with slide and recline), dual-zone climate control, keyless ignition and entry, and a six-speaker sound system with a 4.3-inch touchscreen interface.

Options packages include the Connectivity package (Bluetooth, satellite radio, a USB port, voice commands and a leather-wrapped steering wheel), the Popular Equipment package (three-zone temperature control with rear-seat vents, a conversation mirror, overhead console storage, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel) and the Comfort/Convenience package (a power-adjustable driver seat).

Moving up to the SXT adds 17-inch alloy wheels and contents of the Connectivity and Popular Equipment packages. A Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen package gets you the desirable 8.4-inch touchscreen plus adds three-zone automatic climate control, aimable interior lamps, overhead console storage, rear parking sensors and a rearview camera. The SXT's Premium package adds satellite radio, a conversation mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel and the power-adjustable driver seat.

The Dodge Journey Crossroad comes with 19-inch black-painted alloy wheels and the contents of the Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen package. Further options include leather upholstery, heated front seats, a rear-seat entertainment system, a premium six-speaker stereo system with subwoofer, navigation, a sunroof and the Driver Convenience package (a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, and a universal garage door opener).

The range-topping GT trim gets 19-inch alloys, remote start, a security alarm, leather upholstery, heated front seats and steering wheel, and the premium stereo system. Additional options are largely the same as for the Crossroad, but a Trailer Tow Prep package, which adds a hitch and four-pin wiring connector, is also available.

In 2018, after visiting Suzdal I visited Vladimir, which was the capital of Russia from the mid-1100s to the early 1200s, when it was sacked by the Mongols and never fully recovered its importance (Moscow took over). Like Suzdal, Vladimir is one of the cities in the Golden Ring. Unlike Suzdal, Vladimir is a real city.

The bus terminal also sold an array of useful products, like the cologne "Sasha" and C3PO-sponsored "Durasell" batteries.

In the center of Vladimir, one of its most important monuments is the "Golden Gate" shown below. It used to serve as a gate to access the city, which of course by now has grown completely around it. The current version is a reconstruction. The original gate was replaced in 1795 after being deemed to be in too poor a condition to maintain.

Close to the Golden Gate is the Trinity Church, which was constructed right before the Russian Revolution. Next to the church, workers are building what looks like a fountain.

Up a street from the Golden Gate is the following old water tower, which has an observation deck on the top and houses a historical museum about Vladimir below that: the photo is from 1880 and the carvings with moveable pieces on the inside were made from a single piece of wood.

Near the water tower I saw the following well-dressed local on the left in a cafe. On the right, a family is carrying blue bags from Vladimir Zhirinovsky's political party. Someone was running around giving out these free bags of party swag (must have been some election coming up). He approached me and I made it clear I had zero interest.

On Bolshaya Moskovskaya ("Big Moscow") street is a tobacco store named after Sherlock Holmes.

Off that street is a Museum of the Spoon. Its entrance is the door in the first photo below. Note the blind person eyeglass symbol, and below that a button for people in a wheelchair to be let in. It is admirable for the museum to make itself accessible to the handicapped, but if they were really committed to this they should find a better location: the museum is down a steep and bumpy asphalt road that even able-bodied people need to walk along carefully! A better view of the road than what I show in the photo is at Google maps here .

According to the museum's website (in Russian), it opened in 2015 and has the biggest spoon collection in Russia. The second photo below has a spoon with a hole in it; this is what you use if you are on a diet. A lot of the spoons in this small museum are part of spoon collections that different companies once sold. If your grandmother ever got spoons from the Franklin Mint, there is probably a copy of them here.

At the Soho Pub Steakhouse (that's Soho as in London, not New York), the menu shows where all the parts of a steak come from: sirloin, flank, and so on. I knew what part of a cow a rib steak comes from, but some of the other information was new to me.

In a park where artists could sell their work, one guy displayed the carving below. It is a parody of the painting shown after it, which everyone in Russia knows. The painting is called "Bogatyrs" (the Russian analogue of knights) and hangs in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.

At a museum near the park I found 15-puzzles with removable pieces for sale and bought one of them (I wrote about another one on the page about Suzdal ).

Georgievskaya street, a pedestrian area, was rebuilt in 2016 with new brick paths, new benches, new building facades, and a few bronze statues. Here is one of the statues: a 19th century fireman outside the local fire station. (A news article about its installation is here if you know Russian.) This is interactive, since if you push the wooden handle up and down, a stream of water comes out of the hose that the statue is holding.

A kiosk off this street had the following Trump-era US currency holder for sale.

By far the most interesting tourist activity in Vladimir is a visit to Borodin's blacksmith shop, where you can forge your own nail if you visit on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Before the lesson began, I tried on the chain mail and helmet in the waiting area, shown below. The mail weighs almost 50 pounds, with its main pressure being on the shoulders. Taking it off made me feel so much lighter!

Behind the chain mail and helmet above is a shield. In Russian, the word "shield" is щит (shcheet). There is an Uzbekistan power company Щит Энергия (Shcheet Energiya) which translates its name into English not as Shield Energy, but as Shit Energiya. I am not making this up. You can see their name in English at the top and bottom of a Wayback Machine copy of their 2018 homepage . Strictly speaking, Shit Energiya is an LLC, and that abbreviation is translated into Russian as OOO, so the full name in English is the more impressive OOO Shit Energiya, as you can see at the top of a Reddit page on Engrish . In 2014, Ben Stiller visited the Russian late-night talk show Evening Urgant and, without knowing Russian, participated in a skit where he had to guess what presents different children asked him about in Russian. A child asked to get a shield, and Stiller was astonished by the word he (thought he) heard. This skit was posted to the show's YouTube channel here , but that link stopped working for me after the show was shut down in February 2022. I found an archived copy of the skit on Facebook here (the part about the shield starts at 1:55).

For some reason, the waiting area also had a copy of a "Felix" pinwheel calculator. The name is from Felix Dzerzhinsky, who organized a factory to create them based on an earlier model (see here ) while he wasn't busy killing people. The Felix calculator at the blacksmith is on the left, and a shinier version I found at the Computer History Museum in California a few months later is on the right.

Here are the blacksmith's forge (furnace), anvil, and work tools.

The lesson (or "master class") was led by Alexei Borodin, who began by discussing the important role of blacksmiths in the era before mass production of consumer goods. They made everything a household used that was metallic: pans, utensils, keys, horseshoes, scales, nails, iron wheel tires, etc. After discussing a minimal set of tools a blacksmith would use, he asked "What else does a blacksmith have to use?" "The head!"

This metal decorative piece took him 2 months to create.

Below, our instructor discussed weighing heavy and light items; the metal scale on the right is over 100 years old.

Now he heated up a metal rod to demonstrate for the audience how to make a nail.

He hammered the end of the rod to get a sharp tip, cut off the end, and hammered the top of the tip (with the rest of the nail held in place in a bar called a nailheader) to create a nailhead.

It was now time for people in the audience to make a nail. Everyone else who wanted to do this was a child, and I let them go first. After putting on an apron and holding a hammer, it looks like I know what I'm doing, from forming the nailhead to cooling it off in the bucket of water (quenching).

Behold my off-centered nail!

Alexei Borodin giving a version of his lesson on YouTube. He starts instructing the first "apprentice" at 26:25, and hammering begins at 28:30.

Here is Yuri Borodin's lesson on YouTube.

The last place I visited in Vladimir was a monument to Prince Vladimir (on the horse) and St. Theodore near the Assumption Cathedral. At sunset there were amazing lights and clouds behind the building.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.

Russia establishes special site to fabricate fuel for China’s CFR-600

!{Model.Description}

A special production site to fabricate fuel for China’s CFR-600 fast reactor under construction has been established at Russia’s Mashinostroitelny Zavod (MSZ - Machine-Building Plant) in Elektrostal (Moscow region), part of Rosatom’s TVEL Fuel Company. 

As part of the project, MSZ had upgraded existing facilities fo the production of fuel for fast reactors, TVEL said on 3 March. Unique equipment has been created and installed, and dummy CFR-600 fuel assemblies have already been manufactured for testing.

The new production site was set up to service an export contract between TVEL and the Chinese company CNLY (part of China National Nuclear Corporation - CNNC) for the supply of uranium fuel for CFR-600 reactors. Construction of the first CFR-600 unit started in Xiapu County, in China's Fujian province in late 2017 followed by the second unit in December 2020. The contract is for the start-up fuel load, as well as refuelling for the first seven years. The start of deliveries is scheduled for 2023.

“The Russian nuclear industry has a unique 40 years of experience in operating fast reactors, as well as in the production of fuel for such facilities,” said TVEL President Natalya Nikipelova. “The Fuel Division of Rosatom is fulfilling its obligations within the framework of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the development of fast reactor technologies. These are unique projects when foreign design fuel is produced in Russia. Since 2010, the first Chinese fast neutron reactor CEFR has been operating on fuel manufactured at the Machine-Building Plant, and for the supply of CFR-600 fuel, a team of specialists from MSZ and TVEL has successfully completed a complex high-tech project to modernise production,” she explained.

A special feature of the new section is its versatility: this equipment will be used to produce fuel intended for both the Chinese CFR-600 and CEFR reactors and the Russian BN-600 reactor of the Beloyarsk NPP. In the near future, the production of standard products for the BN-600 will begin.

The contract for the supply of fuel for the CFR-600 was signed in December 2018 as part of a governmental agreement between Russia and China on cooperation in the construction and operation of a demonstration fast neutron reactor in China. This is part of a wider comprehensive programme of cooperation in the nuclear energy sector over the coming decades. This includes serial construction of the latest Russian NPP power units with generation 3+ VVER-1200 reactors at two sites in China (Tianwan and Xudabao NPPs). A package of intergovernmental documents and framework contracts for these projects was signed in 2018 during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
