The UK will plough £300 million into creating specialist fuel to power the next generation of nuclear reactors in what it hopes will be another blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Government funding will support domestic production of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) - a fuel required by most advanced reactors and currently only commercially produced in Russia.
