Known, modelled and calculated values are kept separate. Missing fields are shown as unavailable.
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.

Plants like this lose energy through hot steam generators, turbines, feedwater heaters and valves. Inzonex makes removable, reusable turbine & feedwater insulation that cuts that loss by up to 96% and holds surface temperatures under 45°C, unclipping in seconds for maintenance.
