Obligatory reminder that USA have nuclear bomb ahead of USSR but USSR had nuclear energy plant ahead of USA. In other words, it's not even unusual that west is lagging in such tech, they just love the bomb. China is ahead of them too.

Ah, Sputnikglobe.com, your one stop shop source for thruth.
I don't care about left, right, west, east, but please stop feeding me propaganda from whatever direction you aim it at me.
Kindly point us where did you criticized propaganda coming from any other direction. Arguments why you you think this article is not correct would be good too. Otherwise you're just trolling.
The article doesn't make any arguments for being ahead on nuclear tech. It just lists accomplishments and speaks of the launch of a closed cycle nuclear reactor announced by Putin.
The generation IV International Forum (GIF) which includes Russia has announced this in 2002 and selected the 6 gen IV systems most suited for development out of about 100 proposed designs.
The original charter members of GIF are Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, South Korea, South Africa, the UK and the USA. They have been joined by Switzerland, China, Russia, Australia and, through the Euratom research and training programme, the European Union.
Seems to me no country can solely claim this advancement
Most of the countries are party to the 2005 Framework Agreement, which formally commits them to participate in the development of one or more Generation IV systems selected by GIF for further R&D. Argentina, Australia and Brazil did not sign the Framework Agreement, and the UK withdrew from it. Russia formalized its accession to the Framework Agreement in August 2009 as its tenth member, with Rosatom as implementing agent.
I mean, this article makes no claim to support the title. Therefor >> propaganda by a state owned news outlet.
It just lists accomplishments
Last when i checked having accomplishments others don't have is being ahead of them.
How?
Every major sports team has accomplishments that another team doesn't have. That a team won the Superbowl in 1970 doesn't give them a reason to claim that all other teams are trailing them.
If a company claims to have 50 patents they still don't get to claim to be market leader if you don't compare them to others.
Libs when they see their two minutes of hate cue
Libs? Hate? Where? I'm feed up being squashed between left, right, China, USA, Israel, Palestine,... Whatever.
Why is everyone so quick to try and label you. If you want to discuss, discuss. I'm so up for that. I don't know everything and I'm willing to learn.
This article makes a claim in the title and doesn't seem to have anything to build its claim upon.
I don't mind any country being good at anything. Why should I?
