Fuel Company TVEL, being a part of State Corporation “ROSATOM,” since 1970s treat it as a honor to be a sponsor of the EUCAS-2021 in Moscow. TVEL involved in numerous research projects in the field of applied superconductivity and today plays the active role in Russian Federation as a developer and producer of low-temperature practical superconductors. State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom or ROSATOM is one the global technological leaders. It is a multiindustry holding comprising assets in power engineering, machine engineering, and construction. ROSATOM is the largest producer of electricity in Russia, ensuring over 20% of the country’s energy needs. It should be underlined that energy produced by NPP is a green energy with zero emission of CO2. TVEL Fuel Company is one of the major players on the global market of front-end nuclear fuel cycle and the only nuclear fuel supplier to all Russian NPPs. The enterprises of TVEL Fuel Company are located in ten regions of the Russian Federation, which renders effective cooperation with partners in a wide range of activities and areas. Based on the expertize accumulated for the years of nuclear production development, the company preserves the regularity of pace in development of nonnuclear businesses.
