However, in the current geopolitical environment, it is clearer than ever that \u2018security of supply\u2019 in nuclear power is not just a question of reactor output, but also of <b>security and dependency chains<\/b>, and that <b>Russia<\/b> plays a special role in this: as a warring party in Ukraine, as the occupier of a nuclear power plant, and as a global player in the nuclear fuel cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Russia plays a central role in the global nuclear fuel cycle and is particularly well positioned in the field of uranium enrichment, controlling almost half of all enrichment capacity, for example. This strong position makes Russia an important player in several stages of the nuclear supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP)<\/b> has been under Russian control since 2022 and is managed by Rosatom. It is not currently producing electricity, but requires a <b>stable external power supply<\/b> for cooling and safety systems \u2013 which has become very challenging since the destruction of the dam at the Kakhovka reservoir, which supplies cooling water, in 2023. Repeated damage and interruptions to pipelines increase the risk of serious accidents.<\/p>\n<p>This dependency is not only an economic problem, but also poses <b>geopolitical and security risks<\/b>. It affects not only prices and supply volumes, but also creates potential <b>risks of sanctions, blackmail and failure<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, when we discuss this important topic with our panel of experts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tatiana Kasperski, <\/b>researcher at S\u00f6dert\u00f6rn University in Stockholm.
