A precise accounting of where the Russian nuclear industry’s operational funding comes from and where and how it gets spent is impossible to reliably ascertain as it is kept largely secret. As far as research indicates, Rosatom operates on both an official and a “real” budget that consists of foreign aid (and there have been abuses here) and domestic funding. Slightly more transparent are nuclear power plants, which are under Rosenergoatom’s purview. Though secrecy abides here too, the economic activities of nuclear power plants is easier to ascertain.
