Abstract

This article examines the current positions and export potential of Russia in the global nuclear energy market. Particular attention is paid to the impact of nuclear power plants abroad. The author gives a general description of the problem of production and export supplies of nuclear fuel, as well as its disposal. The problems arising as a result of sanctions pressure on Russia in general and the nuclear industry in particular are revealed. The study found that Russia’s nuclear industry continues to successfully adapt to sanction pressures and geopolitical instability. Despite rising uranium prices and import restrictions from the United States and the European Union, Russia maintains a key position in the global nuclear fuel market and in the construction of power units abroad.
