Putin’s nuclear business: Who pays, who owns, who can leave? | Eastern Express
A nuclear deal with Russia can connect a country to Moscow through loans, ownership, fuel, and technical support for decades. Eastern Express examines Rosatom’s overseas business and what happens when governments consider changing partners.
From Turkey’s Akkuyu plant to Hungary’s review of the Paks expansion, we explain why each contract creates different commitments.
