The owner of two nuclear power plants in Switzerland is being urged to drop their Russian fuel supplier.
The Swiss operator Axpo runs the Beznau and Leibstadt atomic plants and buy the uranium needed for reactors from Rosatom. A Russian government owned company.
The other nuclear operator, Alpiq, stopped buying Russian uranium in 2016 because of environmental concerns and a lack of supply chain transparency.
The campaign group Greenpeace says buying uranium from Russia fuels the war in Ukraine. The Swiss Public broadcaster, the SRG, says the Russian supplier also makes warheads and is now running various Ukrainian nuclear plants.
Axpo, which is owned by seven cantons, says it will honour existing contracts but will not sign new ones.
