Kazachstan jest gotowy zwiększyć eksport uranu do UE w związku z zamachem stanu w Nigrze [ENG]

Kazakhstan is prepared to ship more uranium to Europe if necessary thanks to worries over supply risks caused by a military coup in Niger, the head of the country’s top state-run nuclear company told POLITICO.

Although “for the moment we don’t see demand,” said Kazatomprom CEO Yerzhan Mukanov, his firm is “of course” ready to increase exports of nuclear fuel to the bloc.

Niger was the EU’s second-largest raw uranium exporter after Kazakhstan last year, accounting for up to a quarter of supplies. A July military coup sparked concern about access to its uranium, even though the junta has not banned uranium trade with the bloc.
