Background JSC TVEL
Joint Stock Company TVEL was founded on September 12, 1996, by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 166 «On Improving Nuclear Fuel Cycle Enterprise Management» dated on February 8, 1996, to make its authorized capital consolidated with stocks of the nuclear fuel cycle enterprises owned by the state.

The intricate economic conditions of the mid 1990’s forced to consolidate stocks of nuclear fuel cycle enterprises as one asset and by this to keep up the potential of nuclear industry ands retain traditional sales markets.

In 1996 the stocks of six enterprises merged into a single authorized capital to form JSC TVEL:

  • JSC Mashinostroitelny Zavod - 49%
  • JSC Chepetsky Mechanical Plant - 51%
  • JSC Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant - 38%
  • JSC Chemical-Metallurgical Plant - 51%
  • JSC Zabaikalsky Mining and Beneficiation Company - 38%
  • JSC Commercial Center – 100 - 49%

In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s JSC TVEL implemented measures to increase its share in the authorized capital of affiliated companies incorporated into the Corporation. Stocks of JSC Zabaikalsky Mining and Beneficiation Company , Priargunsky Industrial Mining and Chemical Union, JSC Malycheva Mines Management, CJSC Dalur, JSC TVEL-INVEST were purchased. JSC TVEL also increased its share in the authorized capital of those companies, which were parts of affiliated companies and subsidiaries. These measures contributed to the improvement of the Corporation management.

Nuclear fuel cycle

Nuclear fuel cycle is a combination of techniques for mining uranium, nuclear reactor fuel production and preparing the fuel for the use and after-use disposal. The notion “fuel cycle” specifies the fact that spent or irradiated nuclear fuel (SNF) can be regenerated after special treatment. The nuclear fuel cycle, including ultimate disposal of high-level waste, takes generally 50 to 100 years.

Nuclear power fuel cycle can be divided into three phases. The initial phase covers uranium ore mining through supply of fabricated fuel assemblies to NPP sites. The next phase includes reactor operation to generate electricity and temporary store SNF at NPP site. The final phase includes several operations: irradiated fuel transportation to a special storage facility or SNF reprocessing plant and burial of vitrified high-level waste after reprocessing.
