Rosatom delivers initial fuel for Rooppur's second unit

What happened: Russia's state nuclear corporation Rosatom says the initial fuel load for the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant's second unit has been delivered, announced October 28, 2026 (World Nuclear News).
What's genuinely new: the export push this storyline tracks — Tanzania's mining-and-workforce cooperation, the October 19 Indonesia floating-plant deal, the October 23 Uzbekistan construction plan — gains a hard physical milestone at a South Asian construction site, rather than another agreement to assess or study.
Watch: the start of actual fuel loading at unit 2, a first-power date, and the commissioning status of Rooppur's first unit — none of which the article states.
