Negotiations on a possible increase in purchases of uranium from the British Urenco Group were recently held with its responsible leaders by the head of the SE NNEGC Energoatom Petr Kotin, the company said on its Telegram channel on Monday.
“He (Kotin) said that any cooperation with the aggressor country, including the purchase of Russian uranium concentrate, is unacceptable for Ukraine, so Energoatom is ready to consider increasing purchases from Urenco,” the NAEK said.
Urenco Group specializes, in particular, in uranium enrichment (according to gas centrifuge technology), which is one of the technological cycles in the production of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants. The company owns uranium enrichment facilities in Germany, the Netherlands, Great Britain and the USA and supplies fuel for nuclear power plants in 15 countries around the world with a global share of about 29% in the global market for uranium enrichment services.
