In its Tuesday articulation the Russian Foreign Ministry said that while steps to win new atomic fuel markets don’t go against a long time established global practices “in the case with Westinghouse there is a rush, unacceptable for nuclear power issues and negligence towards the nuclear safety requirements.”
