OAO MSZ possesses the complete cycle of nuclear fuel fabrication starting from the conversion of uranium hexafluoride into uranium dioxide powder up to the fabrication of fuel assemblies. The company produces fuel components as well as transport packages which provide for safe transportation of radioactive products according to the requirements of international standards.

The basic component of the nuclear fuel is uranium dioxide powder enriched by U-235 isotope. Uranium dioxide powder required for fuel pellet fabrication is manufactured by the company either according to the “dry” process consisting in the conversion of gaseous uranium hexafluoride or “wet” process through the dissolution of solid source materials. Fuel rods are manufactured in automated production lines equipped with state-of-the art instrumentation and test equipment.

Fuel rods and components are assembled to make fuel bundles ready to be loaded into nuclear reactors.

Availability of the independent quality control system at each stage of the fuel fabrication process assures 100 % reliability and safety of the product manufactured by the company.

Uranium is handled in closed “glove” boxes under negative pressure providing for personnel safety and product cleanliness.

Main objectives of the company policy are cost reduction, quality improvement and implementation of new high tech products being in demand on both domestic and international markets.

Applied engineering processes are being constantly improved; the company is implementing state-of-the art production and inspection equipment. Quality and environmental management issues are given a lot of attention by the company leadership.

All the products manufactured by OAO MSZ conform to the international quality standards.
