| Fabrication of fuel assembly components |
|
JSC Chepetsky Mechanical Plant is the only facility in Russia and the world’s third facility, which produces zirconium and zirconium alloy items.
Zirconium alloys are the key components of fuel assemblies for water-water and boiling water commercial reactors. Nuclear fuel production enterprises of JSC TVEL use mainly JSC CMP-made zirconium alloys with niobium as well as multi-component alloys containing tin, niobium and iron. The list of zirconium products used for FA manufacture contains more than 70 items. JSC CMP manufacture products for RBMK reactors – zirconium process channels.

Global nuclear power
Nuclear power is to meets growing energy demands of mankind while reserves of non-recoverable resources are limited. Nuclear fuel, as compared to other energy vectors, gives the possibility to generate millions of times more energy. Moreover, the resources here are not exhaustible. Additionally, nuclear power contribution to the growth of “greenhouse effect” is negligible.
Nuclear power share amounts to approximately 16% of total electricity generation in Russia. Nuclear share of the entire energy mix for the European part of the country is 30% and for the Northwest – approximately 40%.
The Russian nuclear industry consists of about 200 enterprises with more than 300,000 employees. Four large scientific and production complexes form the structure of the industry and include enterprises of nuclear fuel cycle and nuclear weapons, nuclear power scientific and research institutes and enterprises.
