Russian Locations
Urals Electrochemical Combine (UEKhK)
Location: Novouralsk, formerly Sverdlovsk-44
Also referred to as the Urals Electrochemical Integrated Plant (UEIP)
The UEKhK is now Russia’s leading producer of low enriched uranium fuel for nuclear power stations. It originally produced weapons-grade uranuim, which it now reprocesses for use as fuel. Sverdlovsk-44 (now Novouralsk) grew up around the plant.
