Techsnabexport (Tenex, also transcribed as Tekhsnabexport, Russian: ОАО «Техснабэкспорт») is a Russian nuclear fuel and nuclear fuel cycle technology exporting company. It carries out export of enriched uranium products and uranium enrichment services, produced by enterprises of the Atomenergoprom, 100% shares of which are held by State Corporation Rosatom.
The company's origin began in 1949, when at the All-Union "Tekhnoexport" working group of ten people was formed by the Soviet Union's Ministry of Foreign Trade, whose task was to organize the supply of uranium mining enterprises, built by the Soviet Union to Eastern Europe. In 1952, on the basis of the working group was created Bureau of procurement, to cooperate with the Soviet-German joint-stock company "Bismuth", Jáchymov mines in Czechoslovakia, now "Quartz" in Romania, Kuznetsk mines in Poland, Soviet-Bulgarian mining company. In 1955, during the reorganization "Tekhnoexport" Kontor in full transferred to Mashinoexport.
Expansion of the list of goods supplied and increase in scale uranium imports led to the formulation of the question of the expansion of the office and make it independent of foreign status of the organization.
July 17, 1963 the USSR Council of Ministers Decree №1477 established the export-import firm "TENEX".
In 1973 it was incorporated as a separate company under the Ministry of Foreign Trade. In 1988 it was transferred to the USSR Ministry of Medium Machine Building and subsequently to the USSR Ministry of Atomic Energy and Industry (now Rosatom). In 1994 Techsnabexport became a joint stock company.
On 19 January 2007 Russian Parliament adopted the law "On the peculiarities of the management and disposition of the property and shares of organizations using nuclear energy and on relevant changes to some legislative acts of the Russian Federation", which created Atomenergoprom - a holding company for Russian civil nuclear industry, a part of Rosatom, including Techsnabexport, the nuclear energy producer Rosenergoatom, the nuclear fuel producer and supplier TVEL, and nuclear facilities constructor Atomstroyexport.
