Russian origin Nuclear Materials & Fuel Assemblies for the World Nuclear Industry. SC Rosatom official plan and IBR™ forecast for the period 2010-2030. (Issued in April 2010)	In this report IBR has collected information about the most recent official plans of the Russian nuclear industry, including plans for construction of Russian-designed NPPs, uranium mining, extension of Russian SWU capacities, export of EUP for Western-designed reactors and use of secondary sources of uranium. We have also prepared our own forecasts of future development in these key areas of the Russian nuclear industry. Using these forecasts we have numerically analyzed future supply-demand balances in the Russian nuclear fuel cycle industry for both official and our own scenarios of future development for the period 2010-30. The results obtained in this study include distribution of the Russian separative capacity between the various separation tasks (enrichment of natural uranium, tails stripping, etc.) and the various sources of natural uranium and other nuclear materials used to produce enriched uranium.	download

Pre-feasibility Study of Project Establishing JV for Uranium Enrichment Using Russian Technologies. (Issued in August 2009)	This Pre-feasibility study (PFS) was carried out to help companies interested in the uranium enrichment business develop an insight on the economic efficiency and investment appeal of a joint venture (JV) project for separation of uranium isotopes in Russia or abroad, based on the Russian gas centrifuge technology. Economic efficiency and investment attractiveness of the JV Project are analyzed taking into account options to use the 6th, the 7th, of the 8th generation Russian gas centrifuges (GC) as main equipment.	download
Nuclear Projects in Russia Licensing. (Issued in 2010)	A Manual for foreign companies working in Russia. Contains comprehensive information on licensing and management of projects on the construction/modernization of nuclear facilities and on delivery of equipment for the Russian objects of nuclear and radiation hazard, including a detailed analysis of the following aspects: project stages and procedures; elaboration and coordination of design documents; licensing of the activity; licensing of the project stages; certification of equipment; liability for nuclear damage; project management procedures; supervision of projects carried out on the territories of restricted access.	download
LEASING OF FUEL ASSEMBLIES FABRICATED IN RUSSIA (SQUARE & HEXAGONAL TYPES, FOR PWR, BWR AND VVER REACTORS). (Issued in 2010)	An analysis of legal and economic aspects for cross-border leasing of Russian-made nuclear fuel assemblies (FA) • European utilities – consumers of the square-type assemblies for PWR and BWR reactors fabricated at the Machine-Building Plant (Russia) in cooperation with AREVA NP GmbH using reprocessed uranium (RepU) enriched under the mixing and/or direct enrichment technologies; ) is of great importance for utilities using FA including: • Foreign utilities – consumers of 17x17 square-type fuel assemblies of Russian design (by 2015, TVEL intends to complete certification of such FA of own design along with certification of production, and start deliveries of those fuel assemblies to foreign utilities in 2015-16); • Foreign customers of hexagonal fuel assemblies of the Russian design for VVER reactors.	download
