Actively entering the international nuclear market Russia tries to consolidate one of the leading positions at the nuclear fuel and uranium market which economically viable because the demand for nuclear fuel and uranium in the nearest future is going to increase by dozens of per cent due to construction of substantial quantity of nuclear power plants in the world. Besides, Russia (alongside with other countries the total number of which does not exceed 10) has unique uranium enrichment technologies. Thus, exploitation of this technological advantage is fully justifiable.
