“Rosatom” agreed with Ukraine on export of spent nuclear fuel

Russia's state nuclear corporation has agreed to continue disposing of Ukraine’s spent nuclear fuel after the resumption of payments. Rosatom halted operations in May after Kiev blocked the accounts of Ukraine’s state company Energoatom.

"Everything has resumed. Ukraine started paying six weeks ago. But the dates for spent nuclear fuel imports have shifted,” said a source in Rosatom.

He added that despite the delay they will try to fulfill the annual plan for deliveries to Russia. The first shipment is expected in August with Ukraine paying market price.

In March, Kiev seized Energoatom’s accounts and property worth $8 billion, blocking the operation of the largest power generating company in Ukraine.

“Our partners at Energoatom are absolutely reasonable people. They understand you have to pay for goods and services. But the government there has blocked all accounts," said Rosatom’s fuel subsidiary TVEL Vice-President Aleksey Grigoryev.

The authorities regard the company’s debts as fictitious, and were used to finance the ousted President Viktor Yanukovich’s campaign. Now, the accounts have been unfrozen, but the case hasn’t been closed.

Ukraine has been trying to diversify from Russian nuclear fuel by expanding cooperation with US-based Westinghouse. However, nuclear experts have warned Westinghouse fuel is incompatible with Ukraine’s ageing ex-Soviet reactors and may result in a nuclear meltdown.

Russian firm to set up new UAV sensor

Russia News

A Russian company is creating new payloads for unmanned aerial vehicles to improve surveillance using the spectral radiation emitted by objects. Rostec, the Russian holding company, identified the company as United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation, or UIMC.

"The technology we created can process hyperspectral data streams, leading to the creation of an 'all-seeing eye' that allows our drones to look beyond the usual boundaries of the human eye's electromagnetic spectrum," Rostec quoted Sergey Skokov, deputy chief executive officer of UIMC.

Skokov said the equipment can identify anything in its field of view. It not only assembles pixels to form a picture but pixels with a unique spectrum.

"This technology can also distinguish natural from man-made objects, such as camouflage nets from real grass, or fake from real element," according to UIMC.

The system can automatically detect military equipment, including camouflaged and hidden objects and independently identify targets using a database of hyperspectral characteristics of different objects and materials.The technology also has civilian uses - assessing the state of forests, their species composition, or to measure the effects of wildfires and pests, for example.

The Russian clothing manufacturers have decided to move on their domestic industries. Owing to the increase in value of major world currencies, several representatives of Russian light industry firms stated that the cost of making clothing in Chinahas increased by 80-85%.

Some major clothing firms have already started the process.

Kira Plastinina, the network of clothing stores for young people have already initiated the sewing planning and they are planning to expand it. The majority of the company’s orders are placed in Chinese factories, but it will shift its orders to Russian factories.The  company “I will be a mom” expects to increase the share of its products which are made in Russia to increase from 60% to 85%.

According to Andrey Razbordin, the president of the Light Industry Union, this trend is a cause for optimism. “Domestic sewing factories are fully competitive. Right now they have a decent chance to start manufacturing at home. We are following in the footsteps of European companies which used to place all of its manufacturing in China, but are now actively returning it home, because of the convenience,” emphasizes Razbordin.
