The head of Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, sees “many holes” in the ban on the export of Russian uranium to the United States. In addition, he is confident that exports to other countries have great opportunities. .
The Russian state corporation Rosatom does not expect any problems from the US ban on the import of Russian uranium as they see some “loopholes” in the ban and see their use by American companies. This was announced by the head of Rosatom, Alexey Likhachev, writes the Russian news agency Interfax.
“We, from the point of view of our economic indicators, have a prohibition, I will call it theoretical at the moment; there are many loopholes, and the first American companies are already submitting applications to organize supplies for yourself as in addition to this ban or in addition to this ban,” said Likhachev.
According to him, the situation “concerns the company, but not much.”
Likhachev added that “the demand for Rosatom’s uranium products in the world continues to grow, not least all Russian nuclear power plants under construction need fuel, and the state corporation is also discussing expansion of construction in other countries, especially in China.”
“So, it is quite important for us now to talk about how we can satisfy the growth of demand in friendly countries, in countries where we are developing our technologies,” said the head of Rosatom.
We remind you that the President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, recently signed a bipartisan bill banning the import of Russian uranium.
