Special chemicals
A pilot plant for the production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide was launched at JSC Angarsk Electrol-
ysis Chemical Plant in 2021. In 2022, the first shipments of product samples were initiated. In the future,
the Company plans to expand its sales footprint; at the moment, work is underway to set up large-scale
production.
Energy storage systems
In October 2022, the Company began the construction of Russia's first gigafactory designed using state-of-
the-art technologies in the Kaliningrad Region. The enterprise will start manufacturing world-class products,
namely lithium-ion batteries (cells) from which battery modules will be assembled. This will be the country's
largest factory of this type; it will meet the demand of Russian electric vehicle producers for lithium-ion trac-
tion batteries and will also produce stationary energy storage systems for the power grid and for industrial
enterprises. The first stage of the 'gigafactory' will have a capacity of 4 GWh per year, supplying lithium-ion
batteries for up to 50,000 EVs. If demand for the products is confirmed, the second and third stages of the
factory may be commissioned.
In December 2022, a new assembly facility for lithium-ion energy storage systems was opened at the site of
the Moscow Polymetal Plant (JSC MZP, an enterprise of the Division). The first samples assembled at the site
were traction batteries for trolleybuses with an extended off-wire range designed to be used on intra-city
routes in Saint Petersburg.
JSC MZP has set up mass production of batteries for electric vehicles and stationary energy storage sys-
tems. The capacity of the new production facility is 10 times higher than that of the pilot production site
established in 2021. The annual output will total up to 150 MWh of batteries for stationary systems (the
total capacity of manufactured devices) or about 2,000 traction batteries for electric vehicles.
Digital products
The Fuel Division is working to fulfil the national task of replacing imported software and equipment for
the Russian industry by supplying digital products to the market, as well as by making nuclear industry
digitisation expertise available to manufacturing companies. The Division is developing four product areas:
digital engineering, predictive analytics, robotisation and automation in enterprises, and telecommunica-
tions equipment.
In 2022, two digital products developed in the Division were included in the Unified Register of Russian
Computer Software and Databases:
-
The AtomMind information system for predicting the quality of products and the state of equipment:
this is an industry digitisation platform that provides predictive analytics tools for efficient equipment
maintenance and repairs and for product quality assurance;
Atombot.Procurement: the first digital product for procurement automation based on artificial in-
telligence and the use of software robots, which significantly increase the efficiency of procurement
documentation management.
LLC T-COM (a company of the Fuel Division) has launched a workshop for the SKD assembly of telecommu-
nications equipment at the site of JSC MZP. The production of more than 70 models of managed switches
has been set up; the switches can be used for building or upgrading any segment of telecommunication
networks. The company produces equipment using Russian software which is included in the register of
domestic software. Key consumers are industrial, energy, telecommunications and nuclear industry enter-
prises, as well as research institutes, educational and healthcare institutions, etc. In less than a year, the
partner network of LLC T-COM has grown to 140 companies.
Customers for the Division's digital products are the largest players in the mechanical engineering, energy,
metals, oil and gas, mining and other industries.
Plans for 2023
Nuclear fuel cycle:
-
-
To manufacture and supply fuel for the initial loading of the first power units of Akkuyu NPP (Turkey) and
Rooppur NPP (Bangladesh);
To complete the first cycle and start the second cycle of pilot operation of accident tolerant fuel (ATF) at
Rostov NPP
To manufacture experimental fifth-generation fuel assemblies (TVS-5) and deliver them to one of the
Russian NPPs;
To build an industrial plant for applying chromium coatings on zirconium alloy cladding of fuel elements
at JSC Chepetsk Mechanical Plant;
To develop optimised cores for the RITM-200M reactor used at floating power units;
To manufacture MOX fuel assemblies containing minor actinides for the BN-800 reactor.
Energy storage systems:
To open a new RENERA assembly site for the production of energy storage systems
in the Technopolis park.
Digital products:
To launch the Atom Reverse product on the market. This is a digital service that combines engineering
solutions for replicating and optimising equipment and its components. The product is intended for a
wide range of Russian industrial enterprises from various sectors that operate sophisticated imported
equipment and have encountered difficulties in upgrading, repairing and maintaining it.
Metals production:
To expand calcium injection wire production capacities;
To launch implantable products for osteosynthesis, prosthetic implants for the arthroplasty of
large human joints and high-technology surgical instruments on the Russian market;
To develop new types of conductor products based on copper-niobium and other alloys.
