Kremlin Control Confirmed Over Rosatom Amid Hungarian Plant Concerns
What happened
Rosatom, a Russian state nuclear corporation, is confirmed to be controlled by the Kremlin. Internal documents show that Rosatom privately prepared to cut ties with a company building a nuclear power plant in Hungary. This action follows reports of delays and allegations of negligence at the Paks II nuclear plant and a separate Rosatom plant in Egypt using the same technology.
