Abstract

OAO 'Mashinostroitelny zavod' (MSZ) is situated at 55 km from Moscow, in Electrostal town that has the population of 150000 people. The capacity of the enterprise as per the beginning of the year 2000, is 1000 t of uranium dioxide. More than 50 nuclear reactors operated at the NPPs of Russia, CIS states as well as Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden use the nuclear fuel fabricated at ''MSZ''. Its high quality, marked with prestigious awards and certificates of Russian and European auditors, contributes to wide-scale export of the nuclear fuel. MSZ is also a supplier of nuclear fuel for atomic power units for Russian ice-breaking and military fleet. During the coming 3 years the capacity of the enterprise by uranium dioxide will be brought to 1400 t and further on - to 1600 t per year. MSZ management pays serious attention to the work with population and mass media as well as to the intensive work related to the optimisation of the nuclear fuel fabrication because they realise that the public attention is focused on the state and development of atomic power and related enterprises. Certainly, the reaction of some part of the town population to  More>>

abstractNote = {OAO 'Mashinostroitelny zavod' (MSZ) is situated at 55 km from Moscow, in Electrostal town that has the population of 150000 people. The capacity of the enterprise as per the beginning of the year 2000, is 1000 t of uranium dioxide. More than 50 nuclear reactors operated at the NPPs of Russia, CIS states as well as Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden use the nuclear fuel fabricated at ''MSZ''. Its high quality, marked with prestigious awards and certificates of Russian and European auditors, contributes to wide-scale export of the nuclear fuel. MSZ is also a supplier of nuclear fuel for atomic power units for Russian ice-breaking and military fleet. During the coming 3 years the capacity of the enterprise by uranium dioxide will be brought to 1400 t and further on - to 1600 t per year. MSZ management pays serious attention to the work with population and mass media as well as to the intensive work related to the optimisation of the nuclear fuel fabrication because they realise that the public attention is focused on the state and development of atomic power and related enterprises. Certainly, the reaction of some part of the town population to the activity of 'MSZ' is not that acute as it was the case in the areas of NPP construction and operation. At the early 90s the information about MSZ became declassified and the enterprise made a number of steps to inform other population on the technology and ecological peculiarities of nuclear fuel fabrication and took certain measures to create positive public attitude to atomic power in general and to MSZ in particular. This system includes the following elements: 1.Public Information Centre; 2. Newspaper 'Energia', 3500 copies distributed almost for free; 3.Own TV-studio 'Pioneer', which shows films on the activity of MSZ three times per week; 4. Agreements with the town mass media, town newspaper 'Novosty nedeli' and radio-station; On the basis of the sociological investigations, the essence and nature of the information above attracts the interest of the majority of the population and contributes to the formation of favourable attitude to atomic power on the whole and to MSZ in particular.}
