Poland and the Baltic countries are seeking to include Rosatom in the European Union’s eleventh sanctions package against Russia. It is proposed to introduce restrictions against members of the board of directors of the state corporation, ban cooperation with the holding company, import of enriched uranium from the Russian Federation and investments in nuclear energy. RMF FM writes about it.
The initiators of the idea have proposed exceptions which should convince the “intractable” members of the EU. So, in Hungary, it is proposed to allow nine years to complete the construction of the Paks nuclear power plant using Russian technology. It also provides for a gradual exit from cooperation with Rosatom over the next two years.
Recall that a year ago in Finland, the energy company Fennovoima terminated the contract for the construction of the Hanhikivi-1 nuclear power plant with the contractor RAOS Project (part of the structure of Rosatom).
The contract for the construction of a nuclear power plant on the Pyhäjoki peninsula in the Baltic Sea was signed in 2013. It was planned to build a single-unit nuclear power plant based on a Russian-designed VVER-1200 generation 3+ reactor with a capacity of 1200 MW.
