Compared to 2021, wastewater discharges decreased by 5%, while the total activity decreased by
31.00%. The decrease in wastewater discharges compared to 2021 was driven by JSC MSZ Machinery
Manufacturing Plant.

Emissions and discharges of radionuclides
Emissions of radionuclides
JSC Atomenergoprom's organisations operated steadily in 2022; there were no accidents or incidents that
could have had a negative impact on the environment.
The total activity of radionuclides released into the atmosphere by organisations within the scope of
consolidation of JSC Atomenergoprom in 2022 amounted to 5.25.1015 Bq. Beta-emitting radionuclides
accounted for 86.17% of the total activity (4.52.1015 Bq).

JSC Atomenergoprom's organisations discharged 23.56 million m³ of wastewater with a total activity of
3.81 1013 Bq into surface water bodies.
0.51 km² in radiation control areas.
Radioactive contamination is caused mainly by caesium-137 and strontium-90 nuclides, as well as natural
uranium and its decay products.
In 2022, no site remediation was carried out in JSC Atomenergoprom's organisations.
GRI 3-3 Water use
GRI 303-1
The nuclear industry is a major water user. The systematic approach to water use management is
underpinned by water accounting data covering all water resources used in the industry (surface water,
groundwater, reused and recycled water). Furthermore, industrial facilities are designed and their locations
are selected with due regard for uneven geographical distribution of natural water resources. Wastewater
quality assurance approaches and methods used by the Company are based on scientific research and are
aimed at preserving the natural water quality and minimising pollutant discharges into water bodies, which
ensures the sustainability of water resources in the regions of operation.
Water withdrawal and discharge for the needs of the Company's organisations is regulated by water use
agreements and fully complies with prescribed limits.
Sustainable use of water resources is achieved through:
The use of water recycling and reuse systems;
Wastewater treatment using mechanical, biological, and physical and chemical methods;
Minimising freshwater consumption in regions with access to seawater;
Continuous monitoring of wastewater quality and compliance with statutory limits;
The implementation of investment projects focused on the construction and renovation of wastewater
treatment facilities and water supply networks.
As from 1 January 2015, the term 'use' as a type of industrial and consumer waste management was legally replaced by the term 'recycling'; however, the scope of
the concept has not changed. According to the definition given in Article 1 of Law No. 89-FZ, recycling is the use of waste for the manufacture of goods (products),
performance of work and provision of services. According to this definition, reprocessing and reuse are waste recycling options.
