It has also produced "Biryusa" refrigerators for many years and has recently converted to the production of a number of new civilian goods. In 1991, the Krasmash Production Association became a Concern and its constituent plants were registered as independent enterprises. All but the refrigerator plant were recombined as a state enterprise upon the order of the Ministry of Defense in late 1992.

Of the three reactors formerly active at Krasnoyarsk-26, two dedicated solely to plutonium production have been taken off line, leaving one dual purpose (plutonium and heat) reactor operating at the complex; it is scheduled to continue operating through the year 2000. Construction has been suspended at the RT-2 nuclear fuel reprocessing plant, which was designed for recovery of plutonium and uranium contained in spent fuel rods; RT-2 now only stores spent fuel rods. Extensive radiation has been detected in the Yenisey River downstream from the Combine.
