MILITARY PRODUCT LINES: Design and development of solid-propellant ICBMs in the former Soviet Union.
CIVIL PRODUCT LINES: This facility-or entities thereof including Yu. S. Solomonov-is developing the START (sometimes referred to as START1) space launch vehicle in conjunction with at least the Houston-based Space Commerce Corporation.

The Votkinsk Machine Building Plant probably produced all of MITT's experimental missile designs. A dynamic test stand manufactured in England was assembled and tested by a German firm before installation at MITT. The computer center at MITT was equipped with several Soviet computers, including at least one SM-1045, one YES-1060, one or more SM-1420 computers, and several older computers equivalent to the SM1420. Fortran, Pascal, and Assembler programming languages were acquired and installed in 1989/90. In 1989, MITT acquired 70 to 100 IBM XT-AT PCs with 3086 microprocessors. Training on the PCs was provided by Soviet-US joint enterprise.

GENERAL OVERVIEW: The Novocheboksarsk Khimprom Production Association is a giant facility whose Production Facility No. 3 manufactured chemical agents between 1972 and 1987. It is located in the "factory city" of Novocheboksarsk which was founded in 1961 ten miles eastsoutheast of Cheboksary. It now has about 130,000 inhabitants and forms a single whole with Cheboksary. The plant is now making preparations to destroy chemical weapons and agents while continuing to produce household chemicals and fertilizers.

MILITARY PRODUCT LINES: Chemical weapons
CIVIL PRODUCT LINES: Household chemicals and fertilizers including aniline dyes, caustic soda, chlorine, chlorine compounds, ammonia, ammonia sulphate, and sulphuric acid.
KEY TECHNOLOGIES/EQUIPMENT EMPLOYED: Novocheboksarsk already has technology for destroying conventional and rocket artillery rounds (shells, bombs, and missile warheads) filled with sarin, soman, and VX (organophosphorous toxic chemical agents). The weapons are first of all drilled through, then the toxic agent is "sucked up" through the hole and immediately detoxified. Materials which have undergone reactions are recycled or burned. Lewisite will be used as a raw material for producing pure arsenic for the radioelectronics industry.
CONVERSION PROJECTS: Khimprom plans to convert from a producer and munitions filler for nerve agents to a CW destruction facility.
HUMAN RESOURCES SUPPORT: Housing construction is underway and kindergartens and pioneer camps are operating.
OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION: The decision adopted by the Russian government in November 1992 to destroy chemical weapons at the sites where they are produced caused a storm of indignation in the Chuvash Republic where the Khimprom association is located. On the other hand, President Yeltsin said that Khimprom workers told him in September 1992 that they would invest their privatization vouchers in their enterprise, which was showing a 30% profit.
