In February 2021, the French nuclear company Framatome announced its intention to establish a joint venture with Rosatom in Lingen, where the only German nuclear fuel production plant operates. Rosatom planned to acquire a 25% stake in it.
This plant supplies cassettes for reactors in Belgium, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Spain, Sweden, Finland.
The Framatome-Rosatom joint venture was intended to inject cash into Framatome’s subsidiary Advanced Nuclear Fuels (ANF). She runs a factory in Lingen and was about to expand production.
For Rosatom and its subsidiary TVEL, this partnership would mean easier access to the European market.
