Putin’s nuclear deals bind generations | Eastern Express

Russia’s Rosatom has an order ledger worth more than $200 billion, with nuclear partnerships stretching across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Its deals combine reactor technology, financing and years of support, creating relationships that can outlast successive governments.

From Turkey’s Akkuyu project to Egypt’s El Dabaa, we examine what customers gain and where dependence on Moscow begins. We also explore the financial pressures facing Rosatom and the difficulty of replacing Russian fuel and equipment. Can Western countries offer a convincing alternative before another generation of nuclear contracts is signed?
