Zheleznogorsk MOX plant
Zheleznogorsk MOX plant is a fabrication facility operated by Rosatom in Russia. It has a capacity of 60 tHM/yr as of 2026, about 0% of world fabrication capacity.
Russia's MOX plant, supplying the BN-800 fast reactor at Beloyarsk, which is the only reactor anywhere running a full MOX core. The pairing is the point: a fast reactor can burn plutonium that a light water reactor cannot, so Russia is the only country whose reprocessing, MOX fabrication and reactor fleet actually close on each other.
