A Swedish member of parliament has renewed calls for the government to explain 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 to parliament in September that Russia wants to expand its sphere of power through the export of nuclear-related products, both nuclear fuel and finished reactors.

Foreign minister Ann Linde said at the time that when it comes to individual companies, both state and private, “the basic principle is that the state does not point out which suppliers they should use”.
