Rosatom Rosatom

The State Atomic Energy Corporation "Rosatom" (short name Rosatom) runs all nuclear assets of the Russian Federation, both civil and weapons. Along with commercial activities which move forward nuclea...r power and nuclear fuel cycle facilities, it acts as a governmental agent, primarily in the field of national security (nuclear deterrence), nuclear and radiation safety, basic and applied science. Besides, it has the authority to fulfill on behalf of the Russian Federation the international commitments undertaken by the nation with regard to the peaceful use of atomic energy and non-proliferation. ROSATOM was established on December 18, 2007, following the adoption of the Federal Law On the State Atomic Energy Corporation "Rosatom", which took effect from December 5, 2007. The Russian Government has set three major goals for ROSATOM: ensure sustainable development of the Nuclear Weapons Complex; increase nuclear contribution in electricity generation (to 25%-30% by 2030) with continued safety improvement; and strengthen the country’s position on the global market of nuclear technology, by expanding traditional markets and winning new ones. One of the most important ROSATOM constituents is Atomenergoprom that has incorporated all civil assets of the nuclear industry. Apart from Atomenergoprom, ROSATOM includes nuclear weapons enterprises; the federal state-owned unitary enterprise Atomflot running the nuclear ice-breaker fleet; INTER RAO UES which manages energy assets in 14 countries and controls export/import of electricity; and Atomstroyexport – a company building nuclear power plants outside Russia.
