Nuclear rent as a strategic source of investment for developing green economy in Buryatia

The article considers the economic situation of uranium mining, production and consumption in the Republic of Buryatia. We have analyzed the structure of Rus- sia's nuclear rent, the pattern of prices for nuclear electricity, and the problems of strategic planning for the green economy based on nuclear rent in the Russian Fed- eration and the Republic of Buryatia. The Republic of Buryatia is a constituent en- tity of the Russian Federation, home to about a million of Buryats, Russians, Ev- enks, etc. The Buryat people, who had lived for more than two millennia in their ancestral territory, including Lake Baikal and more than a thousand of rivers, rich in mineral resources (gold, coal, rare metals, tungsten, uranium, nephrite) voluntar- ily joined the Russian state more than three hundred years ago. Further develop- ment and strengthening of the integral policy of the Russian Federation requires a harmonious and accelerated development, ensuring green economic growth of its entities, constant increase of consolidated human, natural, material and financial capital. In order to consolidate the Russian state, a more complete analysis of tech- nologies and resources is necessary. The heavy part of natural capital of the Rus- sian Federation and the Republic of Buryatia is uranium deposits. Uranium is a source of nuclear energy for nuclear power plants of Russia.
