Russia pins energy hopes on new nuclear monopoly

President Vladimir Putin recently signed the so-called “tunnel law,” which is opening new vistas for Russia’s civilian nuclear power industry.

The law is designed to rationalize the legal and institutional conditions for the operation of the energy-and-industry sector, and make it more competitive internationally and more attractive for investment. It separates the Russian nuclear power sector into military and civilian parts.

An ambitious project to make a nuclear leap has been launched.
