NUCLEAR power plants

Uranium futures exceeded 50 euros per pound for the first time since November 2022. The sharp rise in quotations is caused by consumer concerns related to a possible shortage of nuclear fuel in the world.

According to Kommersant, during the construction of the Akkuyu NPP by Rosatom in southern Turkey, problems may arise with the supply of electrical equipment from Siemens Energy. At the moment, the German regulator has not issued the necessary package of permits for export.

In 2022, Russia increased the volume of exports of products and technologies of the nuclear industry by 20%.
