About Company
Electrochemical Plant, Joint-Stock Company is a uranium enrichment enterprise of the Rosatom State Corporation and takes a leading role in the global uranium enrichment market.

Uranium enrichment
The main operations of Electrochemical Plant JSC comprise of processing, transportation and storage of nuclear materials, including production of low-enriched uranium intended for reactor fuel of nuclear power plants. Electrochemical Plant JSC employs advanced uranium enrichment technologies based on newest generations of gas centrifuges.

Stable isotopes
Electrochemical Plant JSC can produce over 100 stable and radioactive isotopes of 22 chemical elements and is one of the largest commercial isotope manufacturers in the world. Isotopes find various applications in industry, medicine, science, including global scientific experiments such as neutrinoless double beta decay, solar neutrino, dark matter of the Universe and others.

Conversion of depleted uranium hexafluoride
Electrochemical Plant JSC is the first company in Russia to process depleted uranium hexafluoride (DUF6) into uranium oxide (U3O8) on industrial scale. This enables safe and long-term storage of this valuable energy source until it will be demanded by new energy technologies. Moreover, a substantial amount of fluorine in the form of hydrofluoric acid goes back to industrial production.

Environmental protection and quality assurance
The management of Electrochemical Plant JSC strives to ensure the quality of products that complies with global standards and international regulations. The concept of quality has a special significance for Electrochemical Plant JSC as an nuclear facility for it is tightly coupled with nuclear and radiation safety. These factors have the priority in Electrochemical Plant JSC. Environmental protection aims to minimize the impact on nature and humans, and environmental concerns are as important as economic interests of the enterprise.

The quality management system of Electrochemical Plant JSC complies with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 50001:2018 in the following sections:

  • production, storage and delivery of enriched uranium for power plants and research reactors;
  • production and delivery of isotopes, hydrofluoric acid and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride.
