2025: Assigning Technopark Status
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has assigned the status of a technopark to the Specialized Research Institute of Instrument Engineering (SNIIP), which is part of the state corporation Rosatom. SNIP produces instruments and instruments for measuring and testing nuclear and radiation safety at nuclear facilities. The construction of a technopark on the territory of the Skolkovo innovation center is included in the list of investment priority projects in the capital. This was announced by the portal of the mayor of Moscow on October 3, 2025.
49 technology parks have been created in the capital. Over 2.2 thousand companies operate at their sites. The decision to assign the status to the Specialized Research Institute of Instrument Engineering of Rosatom State Corporation was made to develop the scientific and technical potential of the city. The institute is located in the Shchukino district of northwestern Moscow. The specialization of the enterprise is related to ensuring the safety of nuclear power.
Technopark "SNIP" is located on Raspletina Street. The area of the complex is more than 46 thousand square meters. There are 24 resident companies in the technopark. The number of specialists employed in enterprises exceeds 850 people. Residents create radiation monitoring systems for nuclear power plants and other facilities. Nuclear power equipment is manufactured using advanced technologies.
Ionizing radiation detectors are developed to monitor the radiation situation. Automation solutions improve the efficiency of nuclear facilities. Nuclear safety is provided through a complex of technical means of control. The institute's instruments are used at all stages of the life cycle of nuclear power plants. Measuring equipment is certified and complies with international quality standards.[1]
2019: SNIIP Implements Production Process Management Systems
JSC "SNIIP" introduces production cycle management systems. Since 2015, the Institute of Instrument Engineering has been working to optimize production processes and increase the efficiency of horizontal interaction through comprehensive automation of the product life cycle.
To this end, the PDM (Product Data Management) system is being prepared for commissioning, designed to reduce the time for the development and approval of design documentation by at least 30% through the introduction of digital technologies. Today the system is functioning by 80%, plans for the completion of work - 2019.
In the same regard, the positive results of the AKP project on the implementation of a system for remote monitoring of production problems were obtained. According to the results of the reporting period, it was possible to reduce the response time of production services to the occurrence and recording of a problem with the further initiation of corrective measures by 10 times. In total, in 2018, 30 PPUs were submitted from production units, which are aimed at improving quality indicators, developing and maintaining the 5S system.
2017: The order portfolio for the 10-year period is 18 billion rubles
According to the results of 2017, the company's revenue was increased by 15% compared to 2016, and amounted to 4.5 billion rubles. Labor productivity also increased by 10% compared to 2016, and is equal to 8.5 million rubles, per person per year. The formed portfolio of orders for a 10-year period is 18 billion rubles.
In 2017, we managed to solve the problems aimed at qualitative growth and development of the enterprise. One of the successfully implemented projects can be called the expansion of participation in trading platforms, including non-nuclear markets, and the conclusion of contracts totaling 10.5 billion rubles. A new line of business was also launched - an environmental monitoring system.
Within the framework of civil instrumentation, major supplies of key radiation monitoring equipment to the launch power unit of the Leningrad AES-2, Novovoronezh NPP were implemented, the ARMS system at the fourth power unit of the Rostov NPP was put into commercial operation. In terms of foreign projects, in 2017, the ARMS and MCDS systems for the second stage of the Tianwan NPP were completed and shipped at the SNIP JSC's own landfill. At the third power unit, ARMS and MCDS systems are put into trial operation and are prepared for transfer to operation. Within the framework of the Armenian NPP, a neutron flux system and a software and hardware complex for monitoring primary-to-secondary leakage were installed.
2015: Development of domestic computing complexes
In January 2015 , the Atomenergomash division - SNIP - announced that it was working on an import substitution program in the field of computer technology. The institute told TAdviser that within the framework of this program, network racks, server software and hardware complexes, and automated workplaces can be produced.
The development of these machines took three years, their prototype was successfully tested, added to SNIP. The institute did not say which processors are used in such systems, but noted that they "correspond to the level of Intel Core i3 and i5." The production of computer systems is located in Russia, assembly is carried out at the production sites of the Institute of Electronic Control Machines named after I.S. Brook (INEUM).
"Each system is currently made" turnkey, "respectively, the volume of orders is always very different. After these machines are manufactured, they are tested at SNIP, where software is filled and certified, including for cyber security parameters, "the institute explained to TAdviser.
Representatives of the institute added that the machine for the customer can be assembled "turnkey" depending on its requirements: for example, EMC - protected machines, can be made of stainless steel or any other material. They can be performed both using cheap solutions and meet strict requirements, for example, to work in an aggressive environment.
"The import substitutionprogram of the Institute of Instrument Engineering is aimed at excluding technological dependence on foreign supplies. The main goal of the program implementation is to solve the problem of completing new and modernized NPP units with domestic computer equipment that meets modern requirements and is not inferior in quality and reliability to imported analogues, "SNIP explains.
The SNIP told TAdviser that in addition to the nuclear industry, the computer systems developed within the program are also planned to be supplied to oil and gas industrial facilities.
One of the projects under the import substitution program in the field of computer technology was the development and turnkey installation of an upper-level complex of an automated radiation monitoring system, built entirely "on the basis of domestic computing tools and software and mathematics developed at SNIIP from scratch."
According to the developers, the computing complex they created has the required performance and reliability. In the near future, such solutions will be implemented in systems important for safety, at nuclear facilities, the institute adds.
1952-..
The activities of SNIP since its creation in 1952 are aimed at solving the problems of ensuring nuclear and radiation safety in the production of energy at nuclear power plants; during operation of research reactors and plants; when carrying out technological processes at nuclear fuel cycle enterprises, during operation of surface ships and vessels with nuclear power plants; during operation of other nuclear and radiation-hazardous facilities.
SNIP specialists have developed and put into operation large measuring and information and control software and hardware complexes that provide control of the nuclear, radiation and environmental situation at many industrial and defense facilities. The complexes are installed at almost all NPP power units built by Russian companies in Russia and abroad, as well as in several research nuclear centers.
The Institute has created over 2.5 thousand types of various devices and systems, special electronic units and devices of several generations. Many specialists working at the enterprise have degrees of doctors and candidates of sciences.
All Russian nuclear icebreakers and other ships with nuclear power plants are equipped with automated radiation monitoring systems developed and manufactured by SNIP.
SNIIP was the parent organization for the development of the concept and principles for building the country's radiation safety system. Many enterprises of the country from 16 different departments took part in this work. As a result of a large research and organizational work, an ideology was developed and the concept of building a Unified State Automated System for Monitoring the Country's Radiation Situation (EGASKRO) was created.
