1 critical material scored · binding chokepoint: Uranium (🇷🇺 RU 45% of refining) · 25 restrictive government measures on record
The binding exposure is Uranium — 🇷🇺 RU controls 45% of global refining. On this company's production footprint that scores 57/100 (neutral exposure; global 57). The register holds 25 restrictive government measures touching this company's materials — each traced to its primary source below.
Peer rank · Uranium Energoatom (NNEGC Energoatom) is the 50th-most-exposed of the 56 named companies we track on 🇷🇺 RU's Uranium chokepoint; the most-exposed is Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (67/100). Ranked on the same footprint-adjusted buyer score as above — a relative read of an existing metric, not a new one.
Energoatom (NNEGC Energoatom) ranks 125th of 139 verified utility energy companies.
Company supply-risk index 57/100 — the binding chokepoint dominates, with a modest add for exposure breadth across 1 scored material. Buyer-relative (first-order): weighted by where the company produces (UA 100%, estimated split — no cited source states these exact shares), applied across all materials — it does not yet trace each input to its specific sourcing step.
NNEGC Energoatom is Ukraine's state-owned nuclear generation utility, established in 1996. It operates all four of Ukraine's nuclear power stations — Zaporizhzhia (currently under Russian occupation and shut down), Rivne, South Ukraine, and Khmelnytskyi — running 15 power units (13 VVER-1000, 2 VVER-440) with roughly 13,835 MW of installed nuclear capacity. Nuclear generation supplies around 55% of Ukraine's electricity (up to ~70% in winter), making Energoatom the country's single largest power source.
are the core consumable of every reactor Energoatom runs; without a continuous fuel supply the plants cannot operate. This is a mass, recurring input, not a trace one.
reserve-scarcity one.** Until 2022, Ukraine's fuel came from both Russia's TVEL (Rosatom) and the US's Westinghouse. Energoatom severed all Rosatom purchasing in the first days of the 2022 invasion and has since diversified the full fuel-cycle chain onto Western suppliers: Westinghouse (fuel fabrication, Västerås, Sweden — now sole fabricator for Ukrainian reactors), Urenco (enrichment, contracted to 2035), Orano (enrichment, contracted to 2040), and Cameco (natural uranium/UF6 conversion, contracted through 2035). A domestic fuel-assembly plant is also in planning. This forced, wartime pivot away from a Russian chokepoint is itself the policy-risk signal this platform tracks.
verified, company-specific input for Energoatom's core generation business; the sector-default list previously shown here (magnet/battery materials typical of grid/renewables utilities) does not reflect what a nuclear generator actually consumes and has been dropped rather than left unverified.
From the company’s own filings and dated disclosures — top-5 concentration and related-party tables where the filer’s regime compels them, named supply and offtake agreements where it does not. This is a disclosure, not a netting: a named supplier concentration is shown beside the exposure score and never adjusts it. Figures are the fiscal years labelled, not a current snapshot.
12-year contract (2024-2035) for ~15.3M KgU as UF6; includes an unexercised option to also supply the 6 Zaporizhzhia units if returned to Energoatom control.
Alternative track — a counterparty read from primary filings, never merged into the exposure score. Absence of a name is not absence of a relationship: Filers name only the counterparties their regime compels them to name, and several of this company’s largest are disclosed by size with no name at all.

The Art. 24(2)(c) vulnerability assessment, made explicit. For each leading exposure we model the move in this company's buyer-relative score under two distinct supply-disruption scenarios — the production footprint held fixed, only one lever moved at a time so each delta isolates one shock:
| Type | Scenario | Today | Stressed | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Policy | Uranium — 🇷🇺 RU escalates uranium controls to a full export-licensing / ban regime | 57 | 63 | +6 |
| Concentration |
No material crosses the significant-vulnerability threshold. The Art. 24(4) mitigation duty is not triggered on the public-source evidence; the mitigations below are precautionary.
Stated threshold (so the conclusion is reproducible and auditable): buyer-relative band ≥ High AND substitutability hard/none AND ≥ 1 in-force restrictive measure on the material, assessed over the materials this company buys. The CRMA does not fix a numeric definition of “significant”; the company may adopt a stricter or looser threshold and should record it here.
Proposed, announced or draft regulation that is not yet in force but would touch this company's at-risk materials if it passes. Forward-looking early-warning — the likelihood shown is an honest band derived from the legislative stage, not a forecast or a fabricated probability. Kept separate from the enacted register above: nothing here is law yet.
Forward-looking read on the binding chokepoint, from the recent trajectory of policy on these materials. Directional, not a forecast.
The mitigating efforts Art. 24(4) names — diversifying the supply chain and substituting the material — plus the standard levers against a concentrated, policy-exposed input. Prioritise around the binding input chokepoint (Uranium).
Under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act (Reg. (EU) 2024/1252), a Member State identifies the large companies (Art. 2(29): >500 employees and >€150M net worldwide turnover) using strategic raw materials to manufacture a listed strategic technology (batteries, renewables, hydrogen, traction motors, heat pumps, aircraft, data-storage equipment, robotics, drones, satellites, advanced chips). Those companies must, at least every three years and to the extent the information is available to them (Art. 24(2)), assess their strategic-raw-material supply chain. Where suppliers do not provide the data on request, the assessment may rely on the Commission's monitoring dashboard (Art. 20(4)) or other publicly available information (Art. 24(3)) — which is the evidence base this report assembles. Board reporting (Art. 24(5)) is voluntary unless the Member State mandates it (Art. 24(6)).

Production-concentration figures: USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 + the production dataset behind each material page. Policy measures trace to the primary government sources below.
Each material's global supply-risk index blends five weighted factors: concentration of refining/processing (35%), active trade-control & policy pressure (25%), import reliance (15%), substitutability (15%), and price stress (10%). The buyer-relative score then scales the relational factors (concentration / policy / import) by this company's production-footprint alignment against each material's controlling country — bloc-neutral factors (substitutability, price) are left intact.
Caveats. The footprint is the company's assembly / manufacturing geography applied uniformly across all materials — a first-order proxy, not per-material input tracing. Scores are an analytical judgement on public data with a transparent weighting, not a market forecast or investment advice. Production shares reflect 2024-2025 figures and the policy position as of 2026-08-21; the register is continuously maintained and should be re-pulled against each new policy action.

Same sector_primary, ranked on the company supply-risk index. Restricted to hand-verified dossiers — 23 further utility energy companies are tracked but auto-onboarded, and excluded here because their exposure list is a sector template rather than company research. A peer scoring lower is the useful read: it usually means a different production geography or a qualified second source.

You = buyer-relative score (this company's disclosed footprint vs. the controller). Global = buyer-agnostic supply risk. Substitute = ease of swapping the material out (none = locked in). Input share = the material's disclosed magnitude in the company's input basket (HIGH/MED/LOW only where a public filing quantifies it; — = unrated). Descriptive effect-size, never scored.

A zero delta means that lever is already modelled at maximum on that material — today's score already prices it in. This is why the two scenarios are shown together: where a material's policy lever is already maxed (zero policy delta), the concentration shock still carries a real delta, and vice-versa. Each stressed score isolates its one lever; all other factors are held at current values.
Likelihood band is derived deterministically from the legislative stage (announced → low; draft-published / in-consultation → moderate; passed-committee → elevated; passed-vote / awaiting-signature → high) — a reproducible, source-traceable proxy, not a probability estimate. Where shown, the modelled impact-if-passed re-uses the same buyer-relative stress engine as the enacted scenarios above: it holds this company's production footprint fixed and escalates the proposed measure to a full export-licensing / control regime — the conservative upper bound for a measure that may pass only as a partial cap. The delta is the move from today's score to that stressed score; companies with no modelled production footprint show no delta.
