| 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.

Interesting facts about nuclear energy
Radioactive phenomenon was discovered by Antuan Becquerel in 1898. At first it was thought that the discovered radiation is emitted by an atom. But only later it became known that their source is a nucleus.
The first nuclear reactor was built in the USA in 1942 under the direction of Enrico Fermi. In the USSR the first reactor was commissioned 4 years later. The project was headed by Igor Kurchatov.
In 2000, nuclear power industry was the first to achieve the “pre-perestroika” level of production, as compared with other industries. Since 1998 Russia’s NPPs have provided annual growth of electricity generation in an average by 7 Bln kWh.
