A fuel element factory in Lower Saxony is to be expanded - and the Russian nuclear conglomerate Rosatom is taking part. For a long time it looked as if the German authorities would have to approve the project.

But now a way out is in sight. Rosatom reliably operates the Ukrainian nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia. Without the special fuel elements from Putin's empire, nuclear power plants in Slovakia, Bulgaria and Hungary would have. to shut down. Such hexagonal fuel elements are now also to be built in Lingen in Emsland.
