Mining and Chemical Combine

The Mining and Chemical Combine was established in 1950 to produce plutonium for weapons.[1] It is in the closed city Zheleznogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai. The complex has an interim storage facility.[2] There is also a 60 t/year commercial mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility (MFFF).[3] The place employs 7000 people.[4]

The MOX production line completed a 10 kg batch in September 2014.[5]
