The relevance of this study is determined by the urgent need to examine key factors influencing the diversification of mining enterprises located in single-industry towns, particularly those located significantly away from major industrial centers, whose economic specialization is of paramount importance for the country and for determining the budgetary potential of the enterprise's operating area. The objective of the study is to identify and assess the potential for diversification of city-forming production and develop scientifically sound approaches for its implementation that align with current trends in the financial support of city-forming enterprises and local budgets. The study focuses on key areas of transformation for single-industry towns (such as Krasnokamensk), which enable them to develop based on new activities of the city-forming enterprise (PJSC Priargunskoye Industrial Mining and Chemical Association). The methodological basis of the study is systems analysis, expert assessment, and multi-criteria modeling. The results of the study allowed the authors to identify the factors determining the possibility of diversifying the largest industrial center in southeastern Transbaikalia and to assess the potential for production diversification from the perspective of transforming the city's single-industry specialization and from the perspective of local budget revenue generation. The study substantiates the relationship between the diversification of one of the enterprises in the country's “very conservative” nuclear industry and the target socio-economic and financial parameters for the development of a single-industry development area. The quantitative assessment is based on the calculation of an integral index of diversification potential using a multi-criteria model that takes into account the economic, social, environmental, and infrastructural aspects of PJSC Priargunskoye Industrial Mining and Chemical Association's activities. Implementation of the proposed approach Research that combines targeted infrastructure modernization of production, accelerated harmonization of the city's socio-economic development, and the development of a new product that reduces the environmental impact on the mining site could increase the investment attractiveness of remote areas of the region and improve the quality of life in small, single-industry towns.
