⚡️⚡️⚡️ Petro Kotin: Sanctions being imposed against rosatom and nuclear industry in general are crucial
In his column for the online media outlet «Economichna Pravda» («Economic truth»), Petro Kotin, President of SE «NNEGC «Energoatom», told about destruction of russia's monopoly in nuclear fuel manufacture.
In particular, it is noted that Bulgaria 🇧🇬 and the Czech Republic 🇨🇿 decided to replace russian fuel with American Westinghouse and French Framatome, and Finland 🇫🇮 refused the services of the russians for the construction of the NPP (russia's losses are roughly estimated at 7 billion euros).
The Swedes 🇸🇪 also announced their refusal to cooperate with russia. Slovakia 🇸🇰 has no desire to purchase fuel from the aggressor as well.
Ukraine had a hereditary dependence on the russian federation in the nuclear industry, given the VVER-440 and VVER-1000 power units were built back in Soviet times.
Until 2022, nuclear fuel for Ukrainian NPPs was supplied from russia (TVEL) and the USA (Westinghouse). In the very first days of the russian invasion, Energoatom ceased all cooperation with rosatom.
But if the work on fuel for VVER-1000 power units was carried out for a long time and Westinghouse fuel was already used at Ukrainian NPPs, then the developing fuel for VVER-440 became revolutionary and breakthrough. This became a powerful signal for the countries of Eastern Europe, which currently operate almost two dozen reactors of Soviet design (VVER-440).
Energoatom and U.S. Westinghouse launched the process of pushing russia out of the nuclear fuel market, which turned out to be more than successful.
