Chepetsky Mechanical Plant (ChMP, part of Rosatom's Fuel Division) has broken the record for the production of special pipes for fuel rods (fuel element). In 2024, the company produced more than 1 million zirconium cladding for nuclear fuel. This was reported by the press service of the state corporation.
This volume of cladding pipes has been produced for the first time in the history of the enterprise. It was possible to increase production as part of a large-scale production reconstruction program.
The modernization of ChMP is associated with the high workload of the enterprise. We are talking about the implementation of large Rosatom projects: the construction of the Akkuyu NPP in Turkey, the Kudankulam NPP in India.
Chepetsky Plant is a key supplier of structural materials and components for the manufacture of nuclear fuel. Over the past 50 years, the company has produced 34 million fuel rod cladding with a total length of about 120 thousand km. At the same time, one fuel assembly for a VVER-1000 reactor contains 312 fuel rods. 163 fuel assemblies (50586 fuel rods) are required to operate the reactor.
