environmental technology parks and a state system for hazardous industrial waste management. ROSATOM is also de-
veloping new businesses. These include wind power, nuclear medicine, advanced materials and technologies, digital
products, infrastructure solutions, additive manufacturing and energy storage systems, process control systems and
electrical engineering, environmental solutions, etc.
The Corporation’s research activities are aimed at developing new solutions for the power industry and innovative
technologies that will improve the quality of people’s lives. ROSATOM’s key project in the sphere of nuclear power is
the Proryv (Breakthrough) Project, which is aimed at demonstrating the possibility of closing the nuclear fuel cycle
using fast neutron reactors and developing the relevant technologies. A closed nuclear fuel cycle will significantly
improve the efficiency of usage of natural uranium and will help solve the problem of nuclear waste accumulation and
provide humankind with a reliable long-term source of clean energy.

sion of the nuclear-powered icebreaker fleet: the first follow-on multipurpose nuclear icebreaker, Sibir, was accepted
into service.
ROSATOM remains active on the renewable energy market: five new modern wind power plants have been put into
operation in the south of Russia, with 2/3 of their equipment and components manufactured locally.
In 2021, ROSATOM paid RUB 249.3 billion in taxes to budgets of various levels. This is 1.8 times the amount of budget
allocations received by the nuclear industry in 2021.
Despite emerging economic and geopolitical challenges, ROSATOM fulfils 100% of tasks set by the government, in-
creases the share of new businesses and promotes import substitution in various industries.
I would like to thank all employees, partners, suppliers and contractors of nuclear organisations for their concerted
efforts and their contribution to the achievement of objectives set by the government. ¨

environment.
ROSATOM defines the business model as a system that enables value creation in the short, medium and long term and
is aimed at achieving strategic goals.
The business model is based on ROSATOM’s long-term business strategy. It forms part of the business value chain,
which also includes:
—— Available capitals;
—— A governance system aimed at ensuring the most efficient use of the capitals;
—— Operating results and their contribution to the long-term increase in the capitals, which is measured by perfor-
mance against the targets set in the strategy.
The business model gives special focus to the external environment because: a) some of ROSATOM’s available capitals
are obtained from the external environment, and many of its results are also related to it; b) the external environment
is a source of risks and opportunities.

Extending the service life of icebreakers
In early December, FSUE Atomflot completed a unique operation to retrieve more than 20 vessels that were unable to
navigate independently along the NSR because of adverse ice conditions. In April 2021, work was completed to extend the service life of the reactor units of the Taimyr and Vaygach nuclear
icebreakers to 235,000 hours and to extend their operational life to 36 years.
Between July 2021 and March 2022, ROSATOM, jointly with the Marine Research Centre of Lomonosov Moscow State
University, conducted pilot studies focused on environmental monitoring of the Northern Sea Route with assistance from As a result, the company will be able to prevent the risk of unavailability of icebreakers and to start operating Project

Key achievements in 2021 included the completion by specialists of JSC RI SPA LUCH of a ten-year project to convert
the IVG.1M research reactor in Kazakhstan to low-enriched nuclear fuel. Previously, the reactor had used highly en-
riched uranium (HEU). After a series of unique studies, new technologies have been developed that do not involve the
use of sensitive nuclear materials, and the technical and economic feasibility of the conversion has been confirmed.
The results of the project, which is aimed at improving safety, can be applied to other HEU-fuelled research reactors
abroad.

—— The IAEA requirements;
—— The COSO model (The Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission);

Key characteristics of the internal control system include the following:
—— Preventive control and development of timely, comprehensive and practicable corrective measures;
—— Efficient communication and cooperation with operating divisions at all stages of operations;
—— Proactive change management;
—— Growing demand from executives in ROSATOM’s organisations for advisory services provided by the Internal

many construction firms. The shop floor club will enable construction companies to share experience with other
participants.
ROSATOM will continue to implement RPS engineering standards at construction sites of RPS enterprises in the indus-
try and to develop RPS construction benchmarks for operational construction schedule management.
Project implementation in ROSATOM’s new businesses
In 2022, the Umatex Division plans to place 14 RPS orders in five organisations in order to increase equipment produc-
tivity, reduce the loss of materials and develop new production operations.
One of the key objectives in 2022 is to establish an RPS function in the Division. A decision has been made to adapt
the trajectory of comprehensive RPS roll-out, which ROSATOM has completed in 10-12 years, and to try to accomplish
this task in three to five years.
The Corporation, jointly with JSC Rusatom Greenway, has launched an RPS project to build a production facility for
the processing of polyethylene terephthalate waste into PET flakes. In 2022, ROSATOM plans to review project docu-
ments, develop layout concepts and take part in pre-commissioning.

ees from the Corporation’s organisations regularly participate in blood donation campaigns.
For instance, in 2021, over 1,500 people joined the Pulsation project as part of the Industry-Wide Donor Month, and
a total of more than 3,000 litres of blood were collected, which can potentially save 10,000 lives. In 2021, ROSATOM’s
volunteering and CSR programme won major Russian awards in this field: Champions of Good Deeds, the Crystal Pyra-
mid and the Investment Leaders Award.
ROSATOM continued to actively implement sustainable development projects. In December 2021, we took part in the
second international Global Impact Conference, where Russian and foreign experts discussed the current challenges
and the contribution of the younger generation to global transformation. The event resulted in the establishment of
the Impact Team 2050, an international youth advisory board that will be tasked with promoting ideas and supporting
projects in the sphere of sustainable development worldwide.
As part of our corporate social programme, we run projects to improve employees’ physical, emotional, social, pro-
fessional and financial well-being. These include health awareness days, specialised medical consultations, sports
competitions and much more. The biggest sporting event of 2021 was the Running Race of Nuclear Towns and Cities;
its participants included over 9,000 employees and members of their families, as well as residents of 50 of ROSATOM’s
host towns and cities in six countries.
ROSATOM traditionally supports employee initiatives, which enables us to provide employees with opportunities for
fulfilling their potential. To do so, we establish dedicated Change Support Teams in nuclear organisations, which pro-
mote the development of competences of workers and engineers. Today, there are over 100 such teams comprising

It is crucial for ROSATOM’s management to understand employee needs and respond quickly to feedback received
from employees, especially in times of crisis.
3.3.1. Occupational health and safety
In 2021, in addition to an employee engagement survey, ROSATOM conducted two pulse surveys (in June and Octo-

To reduce the injury rates in its organisations, the Corporation will implement measures focused on improving production
processes, developing a safety culture and enhancing controls.
The risk of injuries remains high for employees involved in the operation and maintenance of equipment, and for
those employees who do not follow safety precautions when moving around the premises of an organisation.
Occupational safety in contractor organisations
In addition to the injury frequency rate (FR), ROSATOM also uses the lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR), which
enables it to benchmark the injury rate in the Corporation against that of other companies and countries. The LTIFR In recent years, there has been a downward trend in injury rates in contractor organisations. In 2021, the total number

The LTIFR reference value for the Divisions, units, holding companies and the Corporation as a whole has been set at The injury rate in contractor organisations is relatively low due to cooperation between the occupational safety func-

work at the production sites in the industry.
Average LTIFR values achieved in Divisions, units and holding companies within ROSATOM over the previous
three years have been accepted as baseline (initial, to be improved) values for those Divisions, units and holding
companies. 84

Number of injured persons in contractor organisations Analysis of accident investigation records showed that the main causes of accidents included inadequate work or-
ganisation and violation of safety requirements and occupational safety instructions by the victims. This was due to

Ensuring succession for critical senior management positions
In 2021, 148 members of the executive succession pool (‘ROSATOM’s Assets’ and ‘ROSATOM’s Assets. Basic Level’)
completed the ESP development programme. A ranking was compiled following the completion of the two-year de-
velopment programme; it is based on a number of parameters, such as performance, proactive behaviour and partici-
pation in the ROSATOM for ROSATOM programme.
A support programme continues to be implemented and an alumni club has been established for the members of the
‘ROSATOM’s Assets’ and ‘ROSATOM’s Assets. Basic Level’ programmes.
In 2021, the share of ESP members among those appointed to vacant top and senior executive positions to-
talled 70.37%.
The share of ESP members among those appointed to the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Deputy CEO
for core operations in ROSATOM’s organisations stood at 65.63% and 79.03% respectively.
The career and succession planning process is a mandatory requirement and is applied in all key organisations
in the industry, with succession plans prepared for critical positions.

Dear readers, curve, as our host towns and cities are key to innovative development of the nuclear industry and drive scientific and
technological advancement in Russia. ¨
Technological development and a significant extension of the life cycle of ROSATOM’s facilities pose a major challenge
for us, as we need to provide skilled workers for a long and continuous production cycle and, crucially, provide them
with comfortable living conditions and enable their self-fulfilment. People are our strategic capital, and we believe
that one of the Corporation’s key tasks is to facilitate the systematic development of our towns and cities and their
residents at the national level.
Over the past few years, practical tools for providing support to nuclear towns and cities (agreements with regions,
PSEDAs, continuous training of management teams in towns and cities, implementation of social initiatives that help
to maintain a high level of education, culture, public relations, etc.) have enabled us to maintain the competences of
the population in nuclear towns and cities at a high level, create a favourable investment climate in nuclear CATFs,
provide new opportunities for increasing business profitability and facilitate communication between municipal
governments and local residents based on trust.
As we present the Report on the Development of Nuclear Towns and Cities, I would like to highlight the key results
and events in 2021.
In the reporting year, ROSATOM continued to raise additional funds for the towns and cities where it operates.
In 2021, funding for national projects in 25 of ROSATOM’s host towns and cities totalled RUB 4,630.3 million.

AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The contribution of NPP operation to radiation exposure of the population living in the areas where NPPs are located
does not exceed the minimum significant dose of 10 μSv/year; the level of radiation risk for local residents is entirely
acceptable. As part of its efforts to implement the Basic Principles of Government Policy on Nuclear and Radiation Safety in the
Russian Federation until 2025 and beyond, ROSATOM has achieved the following results:

Since 2020, ROSATOM has been developing and adjusting an industry-wide system for greenhouse gas emissions
accounting: methodological approaches to greenhouse gas emissions accounting in the industry have been defined,
and an inventory of greenhouse gas emission sources in the Corporation’s organisations has been compiled, which will
provide a basis for categorising emission sources based on their significance and revising the quantitative assessment
of emissions. Work has begun to establish a body responsible for the validation and verification of carbon dioxide
emissions and removals in JSC RIR, and an assessment of capabilities of nuclear organisations for the implementation
of potential climate projects is underway.
As part of Russia’s commitment to comply with the requirements of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Or-
ganic Pollutants, an inventory of equipment and waste containing polychlorinated biphenyls has been compiled in
ROSATOM’s organisations, and plans are being developed for the decommissioning of such equipment and the trans-
fer of waste for decontamination/disposal.

APPENDIX 3. REPORT OF THE INTERNAL AUDIT DEPARTMENT OF STATE APPENDIX 4. INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON THE NON-FINANCIAL GRI 102-56
ATOMIC ENERGY CORPORATION ROSATOM STATEMENTS OF STATE ATOMIC ENERGY CORPORATION ROSATOM
REPORT
of the Internal Audit Department of State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom
on the findings of internal audit of the business process
‘Public Reporting Procedure in ROSATOM’
Internal audit of the business process ‘Public Reporting Procedure in

ROSATOM’ has been performed pursuant to the Consolidated Monitoring Plan of
Specialised Internal Control Bodies of ROSATOM for the Second Half of 2022
signed off by the Director General of ROSATOM and approved by the Chairman
of the Supervisory Board of ROSATOM.
The audit has involved:
- An assessment of efficiency of internal controls in the public reporting
process;
- An assessment of compliance of the public reporting procedure with
applicable legislation, international standards and internal regulatory requirements
for public reporting;
- Producing recommendations for improving internal controls in public
reporting and enhancing the efficiency of this process.
The findings of the audit suggest that the business process ‘Public Reporting
Procedure in ROSATOM’ complies with applicable legislation, international
standards and internal regulatory requirements governing the public reporting
process. At the same time, the auditors would like to highlight the need for more
detailed disclosure of information as required by individual provisions of
international standards and internal regulations. The shortcomings revealed during
the audit did not have a significant impact on the reliability and quality of the public
annual report.
