EU states must abandon Russian nuclear fuel as soon as possible, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Croo said, the Financial Times reported on March 24.
As Mr. de Croo said: “Changing supply chains, especially in the nuclear sector, is difficult, but we must do it as quickly as possible. “We need to stop using Russian nuclear fuel, but we need to make sure we can still produce electricity without emissions.”
It should be noted that in 2022, for the first time in the last eight years, the European Union resumed discussions on a strategy to increase nuclear fuel reserves. Owners of Soviet-style nuclear reactors began to fear sanctions on supplies from Russia and began stockpiling fuel.
Recall that on December 28, 2023, at the UN World Climate Conference, hundreds of companies from 25 countries promised to triple the volume of nuclear energy capacity by 2050 in order to reduce fuel burning and minimize harmful emissions into the atmosphere. .
