What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Just as countries in Europe are turning to Western supply sources for nuclear power fuel and natural gas – to get out from under Russia's dominance and control in these markets – Russian state-owned nuclear power giant Rosatom has begun to produce nuclear fuel for markets in the United States and Sweden, a Sputnik report announced.

Production of the TVS-KVADRAT fuel type designed for pressurized water reactors has already begun, said a Rosatom spokesperson.

“There are prospects for expanding production. Everything will depend on the needs of the market,” the spokesperson said.
