Medicine. Rusatom Healthcare (part of Rosatom’s Healthcare Technology division) acquired a 100% stake in Axenter Group specializing in the irradiation of foods and disposable medical products. Axenter operates three large irradiation facilities. Rosatom has been working on multi-purpose irradiation projects in Russia for several years. Its sterilization center Sterion has been active since 2016. Similar centers in Kazan and Obninsk are in the final phase of completion. “Demand for ‘cold’ sterilization by ionizing radiation has been growing worldwide over the last few years. This is one of the most advanced, cost-efficient and safest techniques ever,” says Igor Obrubov, CEO of Rusatom Healthcare.
