Kazakh-China fuel plant reaches nameplate capacity — The plant manufactures fuel assemblies for Chinese nuclear plants (Image: Kazatomprom)

The 200 tU Ulba-FA fuel assembly plant, which uses Framatome fuel assembly manufacturing technology and equipment manufactured in China, France and the USA, began operations in November 2021 and delivered its first batch of fresh fuel to China General Nuclear subsidiary CGNPC-URC in 2022.

Ulba-FA is the only fuel production facility for nuclear power plants in Central Asia. The project is being implemented by Kazatomprom, through its subsidiary Ulba Metallurgical Plant JSC, together with China General Nuclear Power Corporation.

“From the moment of commissioning, the plant has systematically increased production volumes, following the schedule for reaching the design capacity within three years,” Kazatomprom said.
