Niger has some of the world’s most extensive deposits of uranium, a key ingredient in the nuclear industry.

The European Union’s nuclear agency, Euratom, says it sees no immediate risks to the EU’s nuclear power production should Niger cut its deliveries of uranium due to its military coup.

Eurotom told the Reuters news agency that the bloc had enough uranium inventories to fuel its nuclear power reactors for three years.

“If imports from Niger are being cut, there are not immediate risks to the security of nuclear power production in the short term,” Euratom said.
