In the midst of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, a uranium transport from Russia reached the fuel element factory in Lingen at the end of September. This emerges from data published on the Internet by the Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management (BASE). A spokesman for the authority confirmed the delivery on request. The transport was based on permits from 2021. There is no import ban from Russia for nuclear fuels or for gas at EU level. Fuel elements for nuclear power generation in Europe have been manufactured in Lingen in Emsland for more than 40 years. The factory is owned by the French company Framatome. Among other things, it supplies nuclear power plants in Belgium, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Spain, Sweden and Finland.
