capacity: Open nuclear-facility reference record; non-generating facility, not a power plant nameplate capacity; fuel: NTI
The Mining and Chemical Combine (MCC) in the closed city of Zheleznogorsk, built underground in the 1950s for plutonium production, today operates Russia's main centralised spent-nuclear-fuel storage and reprocessing capacity, including a large wet/dry storage facility and the pilot RT-2 reprocessing line and MOX-fuel fabrication for fast reactors.
It is a back-end fuel-cycle complex operated by Rosatom, not a power station, and supplies no grid electricity. The site is central to Russia's strategy of closing the nuclear fuel cycle and recycling spent fuel.
Technically it is described as Spent-fuel storage & reprocessing. This facility converts its energy source into electricity for the grid; its capacity, fuel type and location determine its role in the national power mix.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
Operated by Rosatom.
This nuclear plant generates electricity for the grid. It sits in a subarctic (boreal) climate (Köppen Dfc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 56.2°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Climate zone & typical temperatures: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Russia has 4 nuclear power plants in this dataset, together about 0 MW of capacity.
