German government approves Framatome-Rosatom fuel rod production in Lingen

The German Chancellery has authorized French firm Framatome to produce fuel rods at a facility in Lingen, despite the involvement of Russian state-owned Rosatom. The decision highlights a tension between energy security requirements and ongoing sanctions policy against Russian state entities. It remains unclear what specific safeguards, if any, have been implemented to mitigate risks associated with Russian technological dependency.
