• On the margins of the G7 Leaders Summit in Hiroshima, Japan, the Biden Administration announced, along with multinational partners, intentions to provide up to $275 million to advance the deployment of a NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) VOYGR™ small modular reactor (SMR) power plant in Romania.
• The Biden Administration’s announcement was a part of the G7 Leaders’ commitment to mobilize $600 billion in infrastructure investments under the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment.
• Earlier this month, NuScale and Nuclearelectrica opened the first international NuScale Energy Exploration Center (E2 Center) in Europe, in collaboration with the U.S. and Romanian governments.
• The E2 Center’s opening highlights the rapidly growing global support for NuScale as a clean energy leader.

• The UK is reportedly planning to officially designate the Russian mercenary firm Wagner Group as a terrorist organisation.
• This would put Wagner on a list with 78 other groups, including ISIS, al Qaeda and newer white supremacist organisations.
• The UK’s proscription of Wagner could be an important global signal – the UK would be among the first to label Wagner a terrorist group.
• This could encourage other countries to do the same, and possibly discourage countries from working with Wagner in the future.

A symbolic designation

• However, the government has expressed suspicion about Wagner transferring money from the UK after financial sanctions were placed on Russian oligarchs.
• Any support for the group, by any person or institution in the UK, would be criminalised.
• Additionally, my own research suggests that proscription can reduce terrorism when the group operates in a country (like Ukraine) aligned with the proscribing state.
• Countries like Mali that hire Wagner might look for alternatives if the group is widely recognised as a terrorist organisation.

Negative consequences

• It is important to note that there can be negative consequences of terrorist proscription.
• There are also reasons to believe that proscription can have negative economic effects.
• The UK government should keep these concerns in mind and try to mitigate negative unintended effects of proscription.
