A Swedish member of parliament is asking foreign minister Ann Linde how a nuclear fuel agreement between state-owned utility Vattenfall and Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom affects Sweden’s national security strategy.

Laila Naraghi, a member of the majority Social Democrats, said in a written question that Russia wants to expand its sphere of power through the export of nuclear-related products, both nuclear fuel and finished reactors.

She called on Ms Linde to explain how the risks of buying nuclear fuel from Russia will be taken into account in the government’s forthcoming updated national security strategy, which will be released at the end of the year. Ms Linde is scheduled to respond to Ms Naraghi’s question on 6 October.
