Angarsk (Electrolysis Chemical Combine)
Angarsk (Electrolysis Chemical Combine) is a enrichment facility operated by TVEL Fuel Company in Russia. It has a capacity of 4,000 tSWU/yr as of 2026, about 6% of world enrichment capacity.
Host of the International Uranium Enrichment Centre, a joint venture set up so that states without enrichment could hold a stake in supply rather than build their own plant. Its conversion plant, a separate facility on the same site, shut down in April 2014.

At the market indicator. 4,000 tSWU/yr of nameplate capacity, valued at US$ 200.00 per SWU spot, comes to roughly US$ 800 million a year, or US$ 732 million at the long-term indicator. Treat both as scale, not revenue: most volume moves under contracts signed years earlier at prices neither figure reflects, and nothing here is netted against the cost of producing it. The indicators, and forty years of history behind them, are on fuel market prices.
