Germany's Lower Saxony approved a Framatome-operated nuclear fuel rod manufacturing facility in Lingen that will use Russian-designed components supplied by Rosatom subsidiary TVEL, subject to strict access controls barring Rosatom employees from the plant except in exceptional, supervised cases.
◆ The Wire takeaway
Europe just approved domestic Russian nuclear fuel production under military-grade isolation rules. If you supply isolation, inspection, or tamper-proof manufacturing systems, you now have a mandated customer in every EU fuel plant trying to do the same thing.
