Putin is al jaren bezig ( sinds 2014 ) een belangrijke vinger in de pap te krijgen bij de kernenergie centrales
>>bouwen van veel kerncentrales in diverse landen met Russische technologie
>>Rusland is wereldleider in faciliteiten en de infrastructuur eromheen voor uranium conversie
Net als bij olie en gas ziet hij mogelijkheden om middels monopoly posities gehele bevolkingsgroepen van hem afhankelijk te maken
Net als bij olie en gas kan hij kernenergie als wapen gebruiken om concessies af te dwingen van landen en de bevolking uit te melken met hoge prijzen
Daar gaan de US, UK, Canada, Japan en Frankrijk nu paal en perk aan stellen
Putin's own goal - they keep coming.
An alliance of 5 countries has been formed which aims to diminish Russia’s hold on the global nuclear energy market. UK, US, Canada, Japan & France came to the agreement at the nuclear energy forum G7 summit in Japan
twitter.com/GlasnostGone/status/16479...An alliance of five countries has been formed that aims to diminish Russia’s hold on the global nuclear energy market.
The UK, US, Canada, Japan and France came to the agreement at the nuclear energy forum at the G7 summit in Sapporo, Japan.
According to a UK government release on Sunday, the group will use “respective resources and capabilities” of their nuclear power stations to undermine Russia’s grip on supply chains.
It added: “This agreement will support the stable supply of fuels for the needs of today, as well as guarantee the safe and secure development and deployment of fuels for the advanced reactors of tomorrow.”
The World Nuclear Association said “exports of nuclear goods and services are a major Russian policy and economic objective”.
According to a Colombia University paper in 2022, almost 10% of nuclear reactors outside Russia were made with Russian technology. Those within the country also make up almost 10% of the global share, with more under development.
Russia is also influential in uranium conversion infrastructure, taking up the majority of global share. In contrast, the US has only one uranium conversion facility, in Illinois, which has been on standby since November 2017 but it is hoped it will return to use this year.
