Investments for nuclear fuel security: Sapporo 5 statement

HTML

Details

The Sapporo 5 grouping of G7 nuclear energy countries announced that they have mobilised $5.6 billion to date to establish a global commercial nuclear fuel supply chain, offering international partners an alternative to Russian-supplied fuel.

They also called on like-minded nations to commit to the objectives of the group and seek a nuclear fuel supply free from Russian influence.

This builds on previous announcements, made in April and December 2023, aimed at displacing Russia from the international nuclear energy market.
