Russia to supply nuclear fuel to Egypt

Moscow, Feb 8 (Prensa Latina) Russia's State Atomic Energy Corporation (ROSATOM) informed that it has inked a contract to supply nuclear fuel components for a research reactor in Egypt.

“The cooperation is being carried out within the scope of a long-term contract for the export to Egypt of nuclear fuel components for the ETRR-2 reactor,” ROSATOM stated.

The product line includes uranium components, aluminum alloy, and aluminum powder. Delivery will be completed in 2024.

The Argentine-designed ETRR-2 research reactor is located at the Inshas Nuclear Research Center. It will be used for researching particle physics, materials science, and radioisotope production.

TVEL’s business development prospects on the Egyptian market are also linked to the supply of nuclear fuel for the future El Dabaa nuclear power plant.

The corresponding contract came into force in 2017.
