JSC ATOMENERGOPROM / ANNUAL REPORT / 88
A contract was concluded with the operator of Brazilian NPPs for the supply of depleted zinc-64 to NPPs
in Brazil. The first batch of the product was successfully delivered to São Paulo Airport in November 2022.
The Tula Regional Cancer Centre was the first in Russia to receive a BRACHIUM gamma radiation therapy facil-
ity and carried out the first radiation therapy procedures. A distribution contract for the supply of BRACHIUM
facilities was signed with Republican Unitary Enterprise Medtechnocentre (Belarus).
A registration certificate was obtained from the Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare (Roszdravnadzor)
for the ONYX radiation therapy facility.
The pilot operation of a manufacturing site was started as part of the project to localise the manufacture
of diagnostic equipment.
The project to develop a competitive domestically produced 1.5 T MRI scanner received government
support from the Ministry of Industry and Trade. On 15 December 2022, an agreement was signed on the
provision of subsidies from the state budget. A contract was concluded for the development of the MRI
scanner.
A turnkey contract for the supply of a cobalt-60 source to replace existing gamma irradiation equipment
was signed with a company from Bangladesh.
As part of the initiative to establish a multipurpose irradiation centre in the Republic of Tatarstan, the
production of main process equipment and the construction of a shielding room for an accelerator were
started.
The development of a pilot ONYX remote radiation therapy facility (KLT-6) is nearing completion. The
project will help to promote the widespread use of new medical techniques and domestically produced
equipment in clinical practice, guarantee a higher quality of treatment for cancer patients and reduce
dependence on expensive imported equipment.
Smart City
In the reporting year, the development of the Digital Heat Supply and Infrastructure IoT Platform products
was completed, and they were launched on the market. In 2022, the Smart City solutions covered 12
regional projects, 18 nuclear towns and cities and 84 non-nuclear towns and cities.
16 towns and cities where the Smart City projects were implemented in the nuclear industry ranked
high in the Urban IQ Index ranking compiled by the Russian Ministry of Construction, Housing and
Utilities for 2022.
A greenhouse gas emission reporting verification and validation body was established and accredited to
operate.
Six concession agreements aimed at managing and upgrading resource supply systems in Lesnoy, Glazov,
Kursk, Voronezh and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk are being implemented.
Energy storage systems
In October 2022, the construction of Russia's first 'gigafactory' started in the Kaliningrad Region; the
factory will produce lithium-ion batteries (cells) and assemble battery modules. The factory will meet
the demand of Russian electric vehicle producers for lithium-ion traction batteries; it will also produce
stationary energy storage systems for the power grid and for industrial enterprises.
The factory will become a fully integrated lithium-ion battery production facility, with its operations
covering all stages from the mixing of cathode and anode mass components to the outgoing inspection
of finished products.
The first batteries will come off the production line in 2025. 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. Battery assembly
capacity in Russia has been increased from 15 MWh per year to 150 MWh per year; a universal battery
module based on a new type of lithium-ion cells has been developed.
