This project aimed to assist a private company, Urals Plant of Polymer Technologies MAYAK (UPPT MAYAK), Ozersk, to establish new facilities for the manufacture of radiologically treated heat-shrinkable polymeric products by buying new equipment and transferring staff and expertise from Chemical Kombinat Mayak into a new facility within Ozersk but outside the Kombinat site. Mayak facilities would still be used for irradiation of the polymers.

The proposed work programme comprises four main tasks: purchase of the equipment for the facility; establish the new facility in rented accommodation; recruit and train staff on the new equipment; start production of higher quality and in larger volume.

Final audit proved that the beneficiary had fulfilled its obligations in full and had over fulfilled its obligations as concerns job creation. 39 jobs / including 18 for ex-workers of Mayak had been created versus 28 /17 planned).

The project has been completed successfully.
