According to a New York Times article, Rosatom, the Russian nuclear firm, remains to be a key source of energy for Europe.

It was noted in the article that finding an alternative for Russian oil and gas was a more feasible challenge for the EU than ending their dependence on Rosatom. 

The article added that Russia continues to play a significant role in meeting Europe's energy demands (specifically through Rosatom which is a state-owned nuclear facility), and very few European actors call for sanctioning Rosatom. 

Furthermore, European countries with Russian-engineered nuclear plants are especially dependent on Russia for the technology to operate their facilities. 

NYT also reported that cutting ties with the Russian nuclear corporation would be detrimental to the development of the nuclear sector around the world; the nuclear supply chain is so intricate and interdependent that creating a new sector while factoring out Russia's capacities would be very expensive and time-exhaustive, the NYT article added.
