Magnets
JSC Mashinostroitelny Zavod produces also permanent magnets, that is ferrite strontium magnets of different shapes and designations as well as high power magnets of Nd-Fe-B based alloy. Most needed today are the magnets of segment shape with radial texture for mounting in electrical motors and starters.
Magnet production technology is based on the advanced equipment of well-known European companies (Riedhammer, Dorst, Linear Abraziv), many years of experience and warranty of high quality products.

| Nuclear fuel for PWR and BWR reactors |
|
Since 1993 Mashinostroitelny Zavod has been cooperating with Siemens (in 2001 became part of Framatome ANP, now - AREVA NP in the field of fuel production for western-designed reactors - PWR (Pressurized Water Reactor) and BWR (Boiling Water Reactor). Since 2004 fuel assemblies (FA) within the mentioned cooperation have been manufactured at the automated production line, designed by the MSZ specialists. In 2005 the plant produced the 1000th FA of western design. Presently, not a single leaking fuel rod, manufactured for Framatome ANP has been registered. Currently, the enterprise manufacutres and supplies fuel to 9 NPPs in Western Europe (Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands). Experience of long-term, fruitful cooperation between MSZ and a foreign firm demonstrates the possibility of successful production of high quality nuclear fuel of various designs.

Questions & Answers
Nuclear fuel means fuel assemblies (FAs). FA is a complex construction, the main element of which being a bundle of fuel rods made from stainless steel or zirconium. A bundle of fuel rods is filled with uranium dioxide pellets, enriched to 5 % U235. Rods, sealed tightly and loaded with fuel pellets, are called "fuel rods". In order to reduce the gaps between fuel rods and to acquire the necessary structural rigidity, fuel assembly has a number of structural elements: tailpiece, cap and a set of spacing grids. In some cases, they are equipped with a shroud tube. Depending on the reactor types FAs have different number of rods.
Nuclear fuel is delivered by air, sea, railway and motor special transport. Previously, it is placed in high-strength metallic containers, specially certified for transportation of nuclear materials. A special route and transportation schedule are worked out; an additional control of safe transportation on the way is provided. Fuel transportation has never experienced a single accident resulted in enhancement of radiation background.
