Finnish utility Fortum said it agreed to cooperate with Russia's Rosatom and Rolls-Royce in studying whether Rosatom's reactors could be sold in Britain.
Fortum said the parties would look into how Rosatom's nuclear power plant could be adapted and licensed for the British market, but said it had not made any investment decisions yet. Fortum operates nuclear power plants in Finland and Sweden.
Rosatom said earlier this month that it was considering applying for a British reactor license as Britain plans to replace old reactors with new ones.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
