The enterprise has been producing gas centrifuge equipment since 2007, and in fact, taking into account the restructuring of production, since 1959. Today, the share of gas centrifuges production in the total portfolio of orders of PJSC "Kovrov Mechanical Plant" is more than 95%. Over the entire history of production, several dozen variants have been mastered and several generations of GCs have been introduced. With minor changes in the dimensions and energy performance of gas centrifuge units, the centrifuge productivity, starting from the first one, was increased by more than 8 times. Centrifuges operate non-stop for up to 30 years with a failure rate not exceeding a tenth of a percent per year. Gas centrifuge technology is the most economical way of separating uranium isotopes today, uses significantly less energy than other methods, and has many other advantages. For reference: A gas centrifuge is a device for separating uranium isotopes. Before enrichment, the natural mixture of uranium isotopes is converted into a gaseous phase in the form of uranium hexafluoride. A high degree of separation is achieved using a plurality of individual gas centrifuges assembled in a cascade, which allows consistently achieving higher enrichment of uranium-235 at significantly lower energy costs compared to the diffusion cascade isotope separation process used previously.
