I didn't follow the Rosatom thread much in previous breads, only enough to remember it as notable.

With Exelon as a topic today, I found this 2009 article which mentions how Russia was able to break into the Uranium market, Exelon a player in it.

What is faggotry to me in this article is:

"MOSCOW, June 3 (Reuters) - Russia’s state nuclear firm Rosatom sealed a uranium supply deal with U.S. utility Exelon Corp (EXC.N) on Wednesday and voiced plans to issue a 100 billion rouble bond as it intensifies its global expansion.

Last week, the company said it had “broken down the wall” into the U.S. uranium market by striking three landmark deals to supply nuclear fuel worth more than $1 billion to U.S. power firms PG&E (PCG.N), Ameren Corp (AEE.N) and Luminant.

U.S. anti-dumping laws, which were relaxed last year, had previously only allowed Russia to sell the United States uranium recovered from dismantled Soviet nuclear weapons.

These sales are carried out through U.S. uranium trader USEC Inc USU.N, which had an effective monopoly on Russian uranium imports under the so-called “megatons to megawatts” scheme established.

But Exelon will now become the fourth U.S. firm to buy the fuel directly from Rosatom’s uranium exporter Tenex, also known as Techsnabexport.

Tenex is expected to gain control of 20-25 percent of the U.S. uranium market over the next decade as the chance to strike direct supply deals opens up. Analysts expect U.S. uranium prices to fall as Russian fuel pours into the market."

In the whole scheme of things, this sounds like there were under-the-table deals to get uranium to Iran….. and then at the same time we were in deals (through Exelon) to buy uranium from Russia???

Aye don git eet.
