Despite the deterioration in US-Russian relations and the effective ending of nuclear co-operation on many levels, Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom said it was not contemplating any measures restricting uranium products deliveries to the American market. Commercial cooperation in the peaceful use of atomic energy is based on long-term contracts subject to strict implementation, Rostom said. It was responding US media reports that Russia was planning to stop uranium products deliveries to the US utilities in retaliation for US sanction on Russia. “Rosatom’s company JSC Techsnabexport (Tenex), the leading exporter of uranium products, has been operating for more than 40 years on the global market, and has been impeccably fulfilling its obligations even throughout uneasy periods in Russia-US relations, said Rosatom’s First Deputy General Director for Development and International Business, Kyrill Komarov. “Today there is no reasons to doubt the reliability of Russian deliveries,” he emphasized.
