Machine-Building Plant (Elektrostal)

The plant produces nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants , fuel assemblies for VVER-440 , VVER-1000 , RBMK-1000 , BN-600 ^[3] , BN-800, EGP, PWR and BWR reactors and fuel pellets for supply to foreign customers; produces nuclear fuel for research reactors ^[4] and transport power plants. ^{[5] [6]} In the "MSZ" mastered the production of absorbing elements and regulatory bodies of control and protection systems ^[7] .

About 60 nuclear reactors (one-eighth of the number in the world) in 15 countries in Europe and Asia run on nuclear fuel produced by MSZ. The company has long-term contracts, including a 20-year collaboration with Areva , with whom it has completed more than 100 fuel overloads in 10 Western European PWR and BWR reactors ^[4] .

Subsidiaries of PJSC "MSZ" ^[8] :

The plant was built in 1916 as a sam (weapons) for supplying the army with ammunition. The first batch of factory products was released on February 28, 1917.

In 1941, he began production of rockets (RS) for multiple rocket launchers (according to the terminology of the guards mortars ) BM-13 Katyusha and BM-31 . During the Second World War, the plant produced 245 million shells, which is comparable to the third part of the USSR’s ammunition released in Germany ^[9] . For outstanding contribution to the victory awarded the Order of Lenin .

On August 30, 1945, the Decree No. 9946ss / op “On the transfer to the First Main Directorate of the USSR Council of People's Commissars of the USSR Plant No. 12 of the Narcombish Meals” ^{[10] was} issued, this decision was made at a meeting of the special committee on August 24 ^[11] . After that, the plant worked intensively as part of the USSR atomic program . The company has become one of the key enterprises of the new industry; it was tasked with producing reactor fuel in the form of uranium metal. Z. V. Ershova, head of the radium laboratory of the Giredmet Institute ^[12], was responsible for mastering the technology.

For the new activity it was required to equip the plant with new equipment. Acquisition of the plant with vacuum high-frequency electric furnaces for smelting uranium ore became one of the most important state tasks, it was entrusted to the commission consisting of ^[13] :

• Member of the State Defense Committee A.I. Mikoyan ;
• Chairman of the USSR State Planning Committee N. A. Voznesensky ;
• People's Commissar of the Electrical Industry of the USSR IG Kabanov ;
• The head of the PGU B. L. Vannikov ;
• Deputy Commissar of Internal Affairs A. P. Zavenyagin
• Deputy Chairman of the USSR State Planning Committee N. A. Borisov .

Plant No. 12 received all the enriched uranium ore for remelting into fuel cells for reactors. In 1954 he was awarded the second Order of Lenin.

In 1954, he began production of nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors (fuel elements (fuel rods) and fuel assemblies (fuel assemblies)) ^[14] , the first assemblies for the Obninsk nuclear power plant ^[9] .

In 1959 he produced nuclear fuel for the world's first atomic icebreaker "Lenin" . S. I. Zolotuha became the director of the plant number 12.

In 1965, he began mass production of fuel elements (abbreviated: fuel rods) and fuel assemblies (abbreviated: TVS) for nuclear power plants and has since produced all types of fuel assemblies ^[9] .

In 1982, at the plant for the first time in world practice, an automated line for the production of fuel elements was commissioned, for which the company’s staff was awarded the USSR State Prize .

In 1996 he became a member of TVEL FC.

In 2003, he began close cooperation with the world's leading nuclear fuel producer AREVA NP .

In April 2004, by the decision of the Governor of the Moscow Region B.V. Gromov, PJSC “Mashinostroitelny Zavod” was declared the winner of the Moscow Oblast competition “Laureate of the Year” in the nomination “The Best Industrial Enterprise”.

From the beginning of 2011, the director of MSZ, O.V. Kryukov, was appointed to the post of vice-president of TVEL, and from January 17, 2011 ^[15], O. L. Sedelnikov ^[16]

In 2011, the company manufactured and handed over two active zones for the world's first floating nuclear power plant to the customer. ^[17]

At the end of 2012, a project was implemented to transfer the capacity of the “MW” to the site of the Machine-Building Plant.

September 3, 2013 on the facade of the plant in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Savva Ivanovich Zolotukhi (August 20), the general director O. L. Sedelnikov and the head of the city administration A. A. Sukhanov opened a memorial plaque ^[18] .

In 2014, the "MRZ" collected the world's first fuel element (fuel elements) for a space power plant ^{[19] [20] [21]} . The first fuel elements for a new generation icebreaker under construction LK-60 project “Arctic” were also manufactured; Acceptance tests of the Rapira-K installation were successfully conducted.

In 2015, the upgraded BN-800 fuel assemblies for the Beloyarsk NPP were manufactured and delivered to the consumer. The plant has fully mastered the production of PEL and OR CPS for all types of nuclear power plants.

From July 1, 2019 Igor Viktorovich Darin, who previously held the post of director of production, was appointed the plant's general director.

As of June 30, 2019, 4,093 people work in PJSC MSZ ^[22] .

Another serious direction of work is work with veterans of the enterprise, there is a council of labor veterans of PJSC "MSZ", its chairman is Valery Y. Bushmelev. In 2014, 5100 people were on the SVT trade union registration , of which 104 were participants of the Great Patriotic War ^[23] .

Over the entire history of the company, more than 6,000 employees have been noted at the state level. 5,100 people were awarded medals, five became Heroes of Socialist Labor , six people won the Lenin Prize , 53 people won the State Prize , 210 people were awarded the Order of Lenin , 656 received the Order of the Red Banner of Labor , 277 received the Order of the Badge of Honor , 15 received the Order of the Red Star and 17 - the Order of the October Revolution ^[24] .
