The article presents the results of an assessment of the socio-economic development of the single-industry “satellite city” of the nuclear power plant Udomlya with single-industry towns similar in population size from the group with a stable socio-economic situation: a tourist town – Sol-Iletsk, another single-industry town Kotovsk and a textile town Furmanov. The assessment was carried out according to the developed comparative analysis model, which includes four blocks of indicators, reflecting the development of single-industry towns and the degree of impact of the city-forming enterprise on them. According to the results of the study, a significant impact of economic diversification on the position of a single-industry town was revealed (for example, Sol-Iletsk), and it was also determined that among cities with strategically important production (Udomlya and Kotovsk), it is the sphere of activity of the enterprise that plays an important role. In the studied Udomlya town, an increase in living standards was determined due to financial support from the Kalininskaya NPP, which is part of the state corporation Rosatom and the city-forming enterprise of Udomlya.
