Ukraine resumes paying for spent nuclear fuel processing in Russia
Russia's state nuclear corporation has agreed to continue disposing of Ukraine’s spent nuclear fuel after the resumption of payments. Rosatom halted operations in May after Kiev blocked the accounts of Ukraine’s state company Energoatom.
"Everything has resumed. Ukraine started paying six weeks ago. But the dates for spent nuclear fuel imports have shifted,” said a source in Rosatom.
He added that despite the delay they will try to fulfill the annual plan for deliveries to Russia. The first shipment is expected in August with Ukraine paying market price.
In March, Kiev seized Energoatom’s accounts and property worth $8 billion, blocking the operation of the largest power generating company in Ukraine.
