The Mining and Chemical Combine was established in 1950 to produce plutonium for weapons. ^[1] It is in the closed city Zheleznogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai. The company is currently part of the Rosatom group. ^[2]

The site had three underground nuclear reactors using cooling water from the Yenisei river: AD (1958), ADE-1 (1961) and ADE-2 (1965). ADE-2 was shutdown in 2010 in accord with the 1997 Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement ( Plutonium Production Reactor Agreement) with the United States. It also provided heat and electricity for the area, which was its main function after 1993. ^{[3] [4]}

The complex has an interim storage facility. ^[5] There is also a 60 t/year commercial mixed oxide ( MOX) fuel fabrication facility (MFFF). ^[6] It employs 7000 people. ^[7]

The MOX production line completed a 10 kg batch in September 2014. ^[8]

The city has a Mining and Chemical Combine museum. ^[9]
