From Russia with love of Nuclear Power
According to newenergyfinance.com; a Russian state-owned nuclear firm has been attempting to break into the UK nuclear market after approaching British firms directly – Atomenergoprom is believed to have made contact with Centrica, owner of British Gas as well as manufacturing giant Rolls-Royce as it try’s to become a major player in the UK and beyond.
The Russian firm has already agreed to a joint venture with Toshiba – whose Westinghouse subsidiary runs the UK’s main nuclear manufacturing site – Springfields, near Preston.
And, it is also understood that the group, which has access to Russia’s uranium mines, has already provided fuel to the Sizewell nuclear power plant in Suffolk.
In an article for the Observer, Atomenergoprom’s executive director, Kirill Komarov stated:
“There are some negotiations, or rather contracts, with British companies but nothing specific has been arranged now”
