It seems that the discussion on this topic is prohibited. I think it is dangerous when all parties are unanimous and there is no discussion. I think Western unity is understandable given the amount of suffering going on in Ukraine, but no, I don't think that's a good thing. The most ardent adversary is still Hungary, one of five countries along with Slovakia, Bulgaria, Finland and the Czech Republic, on whose territory Russian-made reactors continue to operate, for which there is currently no alternative fuel.Įxecutive editor of UnHerd, British journalist Freddy Sayers: Russia's main partners in this area were Slovakia, Hungary and Finland, where a significant increase in imports of Russian nuclear fuel was recorded.Īccording to many European politicians, the issue of sanctions against the nuclear industry was actually removed even before discussions began.
The value of imports of Russian-related nuclear technologies and fuel worldwide exceeded $1 billion. In 2021, Russian state-owned nuclear giant Rosatom supplied EU reactors with 20% of natural uranium, as well as uranium conversion and enrichment services, according to the Euratom Nuclear Supply Agency (ESA). There are currently 18 such nuclear power plants operating in the EU. After all, the EU countries with Russian-made VVER nuclear reactors operate only on fuel produced in Russia. At the moment, a significant part of European nuclear reactors is tied to Russian fuel. However, with regard to atomic energy, the situation was more complicated. European countries have been trying for a year to get rid of dependence on Russian energy resources such as oil, gas and coal.
