Voronezh State University of Engineering Technology. Voronezh State University of Engineering Technology () is a public university located in Voronezh, Russia. It was founded in 1930.

History
University was founded June 3, 1930, when the technological faculty of the Voronezh Agricultural Institute was transformed into the Voronezh Institute of Food Industry Commissariat of Trade of the RSFSR. The new institute had three departments - mechanical, technological, planning and economic. The task of the new institute was to train engineers for starch, sugar, fermentation and alcohol industries. In 1931 four faculties were established: sugar, starch and syrup, fermentation and distillery. As of December 1931 there were 712 students studying at the institute.

In 1932 the institute was renamed to Voronezh Chemical and Technological Institute. 

During the Second World War the institute was partially bombed by the German aviation. Emergency evacuation of the institute was carried out in 1942, it was moved to the city of Biysk, Altai Territory. The institute was housed in the settlement of the local sugar factory. In 1944 the institute returned to Voronezh, restoration of academic buildings continued until the early 1950s.

In 1950 the institute was affiliated with the Leningrad Technological Institute of Food Industry (LTIPP), but in 1959 it returned to Voronezh by the decision of the USSR Council of Ministers. The institute was now called Voronezh Technological Institute. The number of faculties was increased from two to six, the number of departments was increased from 20 to 32. The number of students was increased from 1300 to 5000, and professors from 110 to 300. By 1965 the number of teachers increased to 435.

In 1994 the institute was renamed as Voronezh State Technological Academy. In 1995, the Faculty of Humanitarian Education and Upbringing began to work. In 1998 the departments of labor organization and marketing activity, applied mathematics and economic-mathematical methods were created.

In 2011 the academy was renamed to Voronezh State University of Engineering Technologies.

In 2018 on the basis of the Russian-Chinese center of VSUIT the Association of Chinese students of the Voronezh region was created.

U-Battery. U-battery is a micro–small modular reactor design of a nuclear reactor.

History
The design for U-Battery was created at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Manchester University in the United Kingdom basing it on high temperature reactor (HTR) technology which was already available in Europe. A consortium was formed to develop the product, participants including consortium that includes Urenco, Kinectrics and Jacobs Solutions.

Finance has been supported by grants from the UK government's Advanced Modular Reactor Feasibility and Development project, being selected for phase two in July 2020.  Each reactor is targeted to cost £50m.

The design is for a 10MWt / 4MWe micro-small modular reactor.  The design is graphite-moderated, helium-cooled and based on high temperature reactor (HTR) concepts some of which were pioneered from the Dragon reactor, while the fuel block is based on the earlier Fort St. Vrain reactor.  The target fuel is TRISO with 1720% enriched uranium which might be supplemented by thorium with a beryllium oxide reflector.

A £1.6million mock up has been set up at Whetstone, Leicestershire. The first site in the UK could be at Capenhurst.

In March 2023, Urenco ended its support, saying "we can no longer continue our support of the U-Battery Advanced Modular Reactor project, having exhausted our attempts to secure the commitment of new commercial investors." Intellectual property in the design will be transferred to the National Nuclear Laboratory. The staff joined Ultra safe nuclear.

Alfonso Dulanto Rencoret. José Alfonso Dulanto Rencoret (4 December 1943 – 23 January 2025) was a Chilean politician and civil engineer who served as minister during Ricardo Lagos' government (2000−2006).

Early life
Dulanto completed his primary and secondary studies at Saint George's College in Las Condes, an upper-middle-class neighborhood of Santiago, the capital of Chile. Later, he studied civil engineering at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC), graduating in 1969.

Once he graduated, and thanks to a scholarship from the British Council, Dulanto lived in London, England for two years.

Career
Dulanto started working in mining in 1972 when he joined the state-owned Codelco. He then carried out some business projects related to the field, starting in 1980, in partnership with Alejandro Noemi  – executive president of Codelco in the 1990s.

In 1995, Dulanto and the Callejas family – partners in Refimet – sold the Altonorte smelter to Noranda.

Independent pro-Christian Democracy (DC), in the Government of Ricardo Lagos, he was appointed mayor of the main mining region of Chile: Antofagasta (2000). Dulanto was evaluated as one of the best intendants of the government, so he was appointed  Minister of Mining in 2002.

The most important events of his administration were the approval of a specific tax project – after an initial failure in the form of royalty – and a higher collection for copper, which reached historical price levels.

While he was a minister, he delegated his personal activities to his brother José Pablo. After his departure, together they began to operate smaller copper and gold mines in the Coquimbo Region. The former Secretary of State also has an agricultural business, producing blueberries and cherries in Chillán for export to China and the United States, respectively.

Personal life and death
Dulanto Rencoret was married to Carolina Torres Pascal, his second wife. He had five daughters. Dulanto Rencoret died on 23 January 2025, at the age of 81.

INS Drakon. INS Drakon, or Dragon, is an Israeli Dolphin 2-class submarine. The submarine was built in Kiel, Germany, and was reported to be on sea trials in early 2022. Although unconfirmed by either the German or Israeli government, rumor has it that the Drakon will be longer than previous boats of its class and may have new weapon capabilities, including a vertical launch system (VLS). Illustrations released by ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), the prime contractor, show an enlarged sail and distinctly changed hullform. TKMS went on to describe the Drakon as "a completely new design, which is to be specifically engineered to fulfill the operational requirements of the Israeli Navy."

In 2018 the Israeli Navy reportedly decided to pursue a major strategic change to the project which added significant delays and costs.

The boat was reported to have been taken out of the water but re-launched again in August 2023. With the re-launch, photographs confirm a much larger sail which may accommodate its vertical launch missile silos, if these are indeed fit to the vessel. According to analysis conducted by Matus Smutny, the sail "could also contain a special release compartment for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), aerial drones, and/or other special operations and intelligence-gathering equipment. The revised sail could also be related to some kind of proof-of-concept for technology to be used in the upcoming Dakar class".

The boat was originally planned to be named Dakar, after a vessel that mysteriously sank in 1968 with all of its crew on board.

The INS Drakon was christened in Kiel on 12 November 2024. It is scheduled to be delivered in the course of 2025 and will contain new technical systems. In addition to the christening, the start of construction of the future Dakar class was also celebrated with this ceremony.
