Say Sayonara to Russian Nukes? Anti-Nuclear Activists Seek to Cut Ties with Mother Russia

Activists Advocate for Cessation of Collaboration Regarding Nuclear Matters with Russia - Critics of nuclear energy collaboration with Russia envision a cessation to such alliances

Gotta rid of that ol' Russian collaboration, eh? That's right, anti-nuke activists are up in arms, aiming to put an end to the partnership between the nuclear fuel factory in the quaint little town of Lingen and the Russian nukes elite—Rosatom. Bettina Ackermann, an anti-nuke crusader and the spokeswoman for Ausgestrahlt, chimes in, "This collaboration with the Russians is a massive slap in the face to the EU Commission's aim to keep the cold war going. The new federal government needs to axe this project's approval, pronto!"

The EU Commission's hot take? They're planning to ice out Russian gas from the European Union completely by 2027. Catch this? They'll be spewing forth strategies to the member states in June. In the nuclear sphere, the Commission's keen to implement measures against Russian imports of the good stuff — enriched uranium. Plus, they're kinda hoping to nip any new uranium, enriched uranium, and nuclear material deals with the Russkies in the bud.

In 2024, Lingen saw an influx of about 69 tons of big Russian uranium barrels. That's a nasty 66% hike compared to the preceding year, according to the Low Saxony Environmental Ministry, which made the rounds after they received a request to spill the beans. Not cool, eh? Lower Saxony's Green Minister Christian Meyer chimed in at the start of 2025, "Our goal should be to reduce our reliance on Russian uranium, and that's not just a New Year's resolution. We're committed to slapping on some sanctions and shutting out the warmonger Putin, especially in the sensitive nuclear sector. Let's keep our eyes on that bastard!"

The Lingen factory's all French, baby. It's tucked under the wings of Framatome, a state-owned business. The Advanced Nuclear Fuels GmbH (ANF), which is Framatome's German offspring stationed in Lingen, is ready to churn out nuke fuel for Russian reactor types right there in said factory.

Now, that's a sticky wicket, ain't it? With the EU aiming to dump Russian gas and the Commission cooking up measures to freeze them out of the enriched uranium game, this partnership could go down like a lead balloon. But, on the flip side, the Russkies see it as their chance to pump up their influence and rack up the profits. Dangerous times, indeed!

  1. As anti-nuclear activists protest, they've targeted the nuclear fuel factory in Lingen's partnership with Rosatom, Russia's nuclear power giant, hoping to dissolve this collaboration.
  2. By 2027, the EU Commission aims to phase out Russian gas from the European Union entirely, and will present strategies to member states in June, specifically addressing Russian imports of enriched uranium.
  3. In 2024, Lingen received a significant increase of 69 tons of Russian uranium, a 66% rise from the previous year, as per the Low Saxony Environmental Ministry's data.
  4. The Lingen factory is under the control of Framatome, a French state-owned business, with its German subsidiary, Advanced Nuclear Fuels GmbH (ANF), ready to produce nuclear fuel for Russian reactors.
  5. This partnership between the Lingen factory and Rosatom is a precarious endeavor, given the EU's intent to cut ties with Russian gas and the Commission's measures against Russian imports of enriched uranium.
  6. For Russia, this partnership offers an opportunity to bolster its influence and profits, while anti-nuclear campaigners like Bettina Ackermann of Ausgestrahlt see it as a betrayal of the EU Commission's goal to prolong the cold war.
  7. Christian Meyer, Lower Saxony's Green Minister, has voiced his support for reduced reliance on Russian uranium, advocating for sanctions against Putin, especially in the sensitive nuclear sector.
